Sorry about the late updates been a little busy on this end but I know I will have pre race interview questions going up on Tuesday mornings for the next season so we can get the feed back from you guys.

1. with the "trial" season coming to an end next week what was your expectations of this series and did you have fun
2. If we tried to do a broadcast of this series would you like that and would you donate to that P.S. its not a lot
3. the final question is what do you guys think of inverts because tonight were testing that theory

1. i had fun. i suck at dirt so im just here to hang out.
2. i would donate if it was small. idk about broadcasting the dirt as i dont want the whole world knowing how bad i am. would rather have trucks!
3. i would prefer no inverts. i can barely hold my line in the back by myself. id rather not take out the whole field.

1. I joined this series to have fun and be competitive. I have had fun, even though I haven't been real competitive lol. The series is ran very well and I like being able to post on this forum and know that the people running the series will read it and take it into consideration.

2. I am down to donate some to have our races broadcasted.

3. I like the idea of having inverts, but I also think if someone would rather not start up front then they should be able to say they want to go to the back. Inverts make the racing more entertaining, but if we have a whole lot of inexperience starting on the front row then they should be able to choose if they want to try or just drop to the back.

fun was the expectation

2. If we tried to do a broadcast of this series would you like that and would you donate to that P.S. its not a lot
JC Accounting would be interested in sponsoring again like the xfinity series

3. the final question is what do you guys think of inverts because tonight were testing that theory
i like inverting the first 3 rows

note: im out for the rest of the season. Broken arm

1. I had a blast and have been in the middle of the pack which I expected.

2. Definitely would donate for a broadcast of the series (or the trucks)

3. I like Ken's answer to this question

Teamspeak isn't working at the moment. We have open a ticket with the provider. Please use official iRacing chat for tonight.

Sorry to hear about your arm Rory! Get well soon!

1. I definitely wanted to be competitive in this league since dirt is where I come from, but I didn't actually expect to have this much fun. League racing on dirt is totally different than the official races and it has been a pleasant surprise.

2. I would love to see the races broadcasted and would absolutely donate to see it happen. I'll put $20 up right now.

3. I like inverts and had a blast doing it last night. I think 6 might be a better number than 8, but that might be because I've seen USAC do it for years. It's hard for the quick qualifier to pass 7 cars if they are real close time wise, but if not it makes for more excitement during the first few laps.

last night was a bummer, heat race was fantastic but the feature was a let down. tagged the wall first corner and got a black flag. caution came out and we got the 2 to go before pits were open. with the horrible pits at lanier, i wasnt even in my pitstall before yall got the green flag. If it is possible for next season to extend the caution at certain tracks.. this should be one. Made for great racing. bad pits.

Austin sorry about your luck in talking with trevor last night if we see that this will be an issue again we will extend the caution to allow anyone to make a pit stop with out going a lap down.

Anthony I am glad you are enjoying the series and hope you make a return for season 2. as for the broadcasting it would cost around 150 dollars to broadcast the season im game to put 20 in also pretty sure trevor would to and with yours Anthony were almost already half way I may put up a poll to see if we could get enough. and then the inverts I agree that if we do it again I think it will be 6

Rory best wishes to a speedy recovery bud

1. with the "trial" season coming to an end next week what was your expectations of this series and did you have fun

I don't know if I had any expectations but I am having a ton of fun in series

2. If we tried to do a broadcast of this series would you like that and would you donate to that P.S. its not a lot

I would absolutely donate for a broadcast, hell I will put up the money for the whole season if someone sends me the information.

3. the final question is what do you guys think of inverts because tonight were testing that theory

Inverts was pretty fun to see but I would want them for every races Lanier seemed like a good place for it since everyone was running pretty close in practice and qualifying not sure how well it would work at places like Eldora but I would be willing to see. Unfortunately I got hit in my heat and trucked in the race for the invert to even matter to me. Still had fun though!
