UPDATE* Drivers meetings start this week. Tomorrow March 30th we will be integrating the new site pages for the series with the schedules and more information. We will do all drivers meetings before we finalize schedules so that we can poll what works best for our competitors in regard to day and start times.

Any driver can come to the drivers meetings regardless of the series that it is for...just pick what best fits your schedule. The first heats will be run until the end of April with races each week. From there we will move into the main event divisional races and then the pack will be merged for a block of championship races for prizes.

Check back tomorrow for the new site pages.

Does this mean that competitors will end up having the truck and cot and venues to compete in this content in this version of ASR?
Yes. We plan to test this content with our community and utilize the series as a place to do competition testing.

Will there be prizes in this competition?
We are working to bring in sponsors for the series and if obtained will provide such prizes to the competitors. If you are interested in sponsoring the series please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will get right back to you.

Is this a global series?
To start we are going to limit enrollement based off server and end user locations. Our goal is to begin with USA, Canada and other North American areas allowed into competition based off of connection rate of the competitors.

How much does competing in the series cost?
Nothing...the series is free of charge to competitors.

How will we handle aggressive drivers or those breaking rules?
Identical to how it is handled in real life. Drivers will be called into the incident room after each race if they are involved in an incident deemed to be of a result of aggressive driving or conflict that is a result of the breaking of a rule. Poin deductions, suspesions and penalties will be issued if deemed appropriate by the officals. 

How will the points system work?
We will utilize the same points system as ARCA and will also have a virtual money system which will be quite strict. Drivers will pay virtual race fees as well as to repair damaged equipment and pay fines if they recieve them. If they cannot afford to enter a race becasue they run out of money...then they will be forced to compete in a second chance server to make money. This accountability is to ensure that clean drivers and those obiding by the rules are rewarded for their actions.

How will drivers be bracketed into their series?
We will start by running heat events for each region to determine level of drivers ability. From there drivers will be bracketed into a series based off of their performance in the heats.

How many slots in each race and how many can qualify?
As of now we are going to limit the fields to around 35 drivers with a limit of 50 drivers able to qualify. The amount of total competitors will determine the amount of races we will run.

Will there be a top or PRO series?
Yes there will be a top tier series and drivers will become eligable based off their points in the regional levels of competiton.

Will there be teams in this series?
After the first round of series races we are planing to allow team number virtual purchases and the ability to form and enter competition as a team.

How are cautions thrown and penalties issued?
Cautions will be thrown manually in some races and the software system will be used in races also.

Stay tuned for more information as well as the release of the 2010 schedule and registration information.
