Thanks to all who participated in this 3 race series at 3 different tracks. We are going to do it in the 2023 season also, so for those who like the format and the slick looking 962's, you have plenty of time to prepare your car.

Coming up is the 20th. year anniversary of racing at Rapid Raceway. The first official race was held on Nov. 16, 2002. So in Nov. 2022 we will have a special race commemorating the 20 yrs. of active racing. Also Inslots Checkered Flag Raceway is going on it's 20 yrs. also as the tracks were built at the same time. We held a practice at each track, 1st. at Rapid and then traveled to Checkered Flag the same day.
