We already see what 17.5 and 21.5 racers are going to do...

"I'm gonna buy ALL the motors so no one can have any and I'll get into the A main myself since no one will have any motors!"

Don't be a motor w***e. You don't need 10 motors. Work on your car and don't suck.

Now that the 26-27 rules have dropped, we want to remind everyone of Annex-E Paragraph 6 Subchapter 3.2:

"Anyone wanting to create a new class must first actually be GOOD at the class they're racing in. Minimum car count at any big event must exceed 25 entries. Local tracks and racers are NOT ALLOWED to host, suggest, or even consider something new before these criteria are met. "

Hopefully this will help with class counts and bring back the competition of minimal classes from the good old days!

As the season approaches, we just want to send a friendly reminder...

STOP USING A.I. SLOP TO PROMOTE YOURSELF OR RACES!

This stuff is getting out of hand. The work looks awful. Hire a friend that has some knowledge to make a promotional art piece and throw them a few bucks.

Your AI skills reflect your racing habits.

Moving forward, all racers that finish dead last at any racing event MUST wear this belt. Local racing or big events, doesn't matter. Excuses such as "I'm here for practice only" and "I sauced half my tires, I should have done full" will no longer be accepted.

No longer will racing allow someone to invent a new class to poach and win a trophy in. Either put up, or shut up. Run a class with 20+ racers in it. Winning a trophy with 4 guys in it and bragging about it means you have a tiny weiner...

BREAKING NEWS!

ONN has acquired the UFC Freedom 250 ring and will be setting up a brawl!

You heard that right! We have acquired the ring after the fight and found a great use for it! All of the tire manufacturers involved in the great tire debacles of 25-26 will fight it out in the great ring between the heats and mains at the Firecracker Classic! We hope more than the folks attending can make it as we will need help assembling the ring. Sponsors will also be needed. Whoever wins the fight gets exclusive rights to making all tires with the others withdrawaling their products immediately. Entry to watch ringside will be $250 cause America.

We have been away for a few weeks as we have been attending the Carpet Oval Manufacturers Summit in Singapore and we wanted to urgently share this news!

Manufacturers have agreed that due to rising prices, yet again, that drivers will no longer be getting sponsors of any kind of they can't provide proof of actually being good.

That's right folks, if you're a continuous A main driver, you have nothing to fear. However, if you start slipping and end up in the B, you might want to begin panicking. But this also goes for folks out there on sponsorships that beat up on two other guys at their home tracks. If your wins have no merit, you better kiss those perks goodbye.

It's coming at a time that manufacturers are embarrassed to see their sponsored racer bragging about third place in a 3 car main and said third place was 4 laps off the pace. This isn't how sponsors want to be recognized.

We hate to bring this news, but in an ever shaky financial market, manufacturers have to do what's best to keep margins up. Good luck to you all out there, might want to consider new paint schemes for next season!
