I not real sure. I copy all the rules and stuff off of there website. I got to find out for sure what they are doing there.

I believe they mean that with a full thirty dollar entry from an adult that a son or daughter under the age of 18 can enter for an additional fifteen dollar entry.

I'll be sure to race at Dalton on those weekends it's here but i personally can't miss work for a 3 day weekend in Sanannah. May make some Loganville's because it's close but where the heck is Augusta?:tire::(:(:tire:

Augusta is on I-20 east going towards SC. its about 2 hours east of atlanta

Yes that is correct JJY. If a father and son/daughter want to run, they will not have to pay $60. It will be $30 for the adult and $15 for the child under the age of 18. I am one of the guys running the series this year so if there are any question you can shoot me a pm and I will try and answer them.

18 and under. We thought about making it "still in school" but the series starts at the end of one school year and ends at the beginning of another.

We are up on rcsignup

I signed up. Hope to see a lot of people sign up and show our support for racing in GA.

Im ready for some action.
