We recently met with Jim Curtis of Thompson Raceway Park to discuss adding an '8.90 heads-up index class' to run at the track and the
meeting went extremely well to say the least. We will be having a 'test session' in early May and if we have a good showing Jim Curtis
will be adding the 8.90 class to run on all of Thompson Raceway's ASPHALT WARS dates!!! (final dates to be announced) Below are the rules

In a best case scenario this "could" be a traveling series that visits several tracks with a year end points fund. But we have to be careful not to dilute our car count. You've got cars that run Norwalk and TRP now. It looks like the TRP schedule for Asphalt Wars will not be the day after Chaos this year. I don't know how many of you want to run every week? Once, maybe twice a month is all I need. We need to be sure the Thompson program starts and stays strong the first year and go from there.
