2012/13 Midwest All-Star Carpet Series
It’s that time of year again.....
Well boys and girls let me first say that this year is going to different than in years past. First the series will only be at 1 location this year. There are many reasons as to why it’s going to be this way this year. I will explain them here for you guys so you know our though process. Brad and I both have a lot going on in our “real” lives and we just will not have the time this winter to travel with the series so rather than postpone or have someone else burden the load it we decided to keep it local. Also with some of the other series tracks that as of now are gone we were not left with too many options that were within a reasonable distance for our core group of racers. I really want to thank the tracks from past years they really helped the series grow and keep running and our plan is to make take the series back on the road next season when hopefully we have more time to do so. Next year we will look to add even more venues as we go forward. We hope you guys understand and we hope you can make it out to the races this season.
