Power Racing Series 2018

The following page will contain planning information for the Power Racing Series 2018 Season.

(And by that we mean “public planning” as opposed to “private planning” we may do elsewhere to prevent other teams from learning too much. Yes, there is a private mailing list. You can ask to be added to it.)

At each race we will need at least one team member to volunteer as a Track Marshal. If we do not, we will be fined $50.

(Depending on how many cars we have) we do not have to pay $20 per transponder at the race. At the most, give Patrick $5.00 because we are nice. (We've “rented” them about 5 times now. Also, BBCM has some we might be able to borrow.)
