Saw this on Facebook yesterday. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
I’m curious as to what part of the Midwest they will cover, and how the series will be different from the parent STARS series. I like a lot of what they have going for them.
I have mixed feeling about adding another series to the calendar. As someone who has put together Club/Regional/Special events schedules, it is already difficult to find dates that don’t overlap other series.
While I don’t love the current offerings for regional racing in the Midwest, I also worry that having too many options dilutes the entry numbers for each series.
I think their focus is going to be east of Route 66. Now with the new tracks popping up in Ohio, there are quite a few opportunities in that chunk between New Castle and the east coast.
It was only a matter of time before Stars got a regional series. There will surely be a little stealing of entries between the two main regional series here in the Midwest, unfortunately, but I do think that region of the country is underserved so there is probably a market there.
I’m looking forward to seeing how their Southeast regional series ends up playing out. This area has always seemed to have enough activity and tracks to support a traveling regional series.
