What it's all about

ASRS is all about the people. It is about creating a racing league that we all would like to participate in, and that is something we have done, especially over the past month. But it's about more: it's about being fair to everyone and being honest with our members and ourselves. ASRS is about treating people the right way and working with people to make it even better with every turn of events.

The key is to look ahead and not back, we cannot undo the past nor should we try to. What has happened in the past is history and we must move onto the future, a future that is as bright as ever.

While we pride ourselves on our history, we know change is inevitable. For example, where penalties were issued nearly every race in the past, we have loosened up the rules and provided our drivers with better racing and more excitement during those races. We have maintained our values, goals and mission along the way and have come out of it pretty well. We have created a great value with our league and we value our members and their ideas and opinions more than anything else here.

This blog has become a popular stop for many members of the sim racing community over the past few months and I hope everyone enjoys the posts here. After all, ASRS is about people!

Taking the Next Step: Moving Forward

One thing is for certain, the ASRS has some of the best sim racers around. Recently the tide has turned and we had a mass exit just a couple weeks ago, but the quality drivers remained. Cautions have dropped, competition has risen and the number of drivers who can win any given race has increased. And with those changes, more and more quality driver have joined in the fun. A quick look at the latest additions to ASRS proves that ASRS is the place to be. Eric McClure returned after a year away, and went to Victory Lane at Michigan in the Truck Series race. Johnathon Caddell joined the series this past week and put a 6th place finish in the books at Jennerstown in the All American Series and returned the next day at South Boston to score a 4th in the East Series. The South Boston race featured 1 caution flag in a 76 lap event, a far cry from the way things were just last year. Michigan had two caution flags in 100 miles of side by side racing action at that track.

Now, drivers who have built a reputation on strong racing are joining in the fun at ASRS, and it couldn't come at a better time. The action is heating up and the Summer of Fun is just getting started.

"I'm sure there is a group that thinks ASRS is dead, but I got news for them: ASRS is here to stay and we are stronger than ever, even with them gone" commented Jim Foose, ASRS President. "They did us a favor by leaving, the constant complaining and picking fights with other members got out of hand, and we are happy to be past that".

We are coming up on a great stretch of races and with our great drivers, ASRS is the place to be. All the pieces of the puzzle are in place here at ASRS for a strong summer stretch and an even stronger fall run. And don't forget, we still have the 11th Annual All American 400 and 3rd Annual Snowball Derby coming up later this year. We have some exciting things to announce about those two events here in the near future.

So look out, the Summer of Fun is upon us and the fun is not going to stop anytime soon!

As the weather outside heats up, so does the action in the American Sim Racing Series. With the Craftsman Truck Series heading into the final stretch before the Chase to the Championship and the Outlaw Paintshop All American Series declaring a Summer Champion in August, the action is hot on the track in every division. Meanwhile, the Modified Series will kick off on June 18th and the ASRS Late Model Series is back in action on June 29th. And the BozPC East Series runs a stretch of races guaranteed to produce excitement and close finishes. It's all a part of the Summer of Fun, and you could be the big winner by particpating in the best racing action available online! Stop by and get signed up at www.americansimracing.com

Honest. Fair. Racing.

The American Sim Racing Series was formed in 2002, long before many leagues in existence today were created. It has survived for six years because of one principle: Honest, Fair Racing.

While other leagues have struggled to survive, the ASRS has thrived and has shown that a simple structure can go along way in the online racing community. ASRS has never been about fancy graphics or false excitement, we have been about our product on the track, and that method has succeeded for many years. With ASRS you will not see the junk that other leagues post on their website to create phony excitement, there are no smokescreens, so what you see is what you get. ASRS is a genuine racing series, we strive for perfection and accuracy in our events.

At ASRS we are often imitated but NEVER duplicated.

Our administratiors are racefans and race drivers and we strive to make the online experience as realistic as possible. We are all passionate about the sport and want to bring that passion and excitement to our league, its something ASRS has done since it's creation in 2002.

We hope to see everyone here at ASRS, providing exciting racing.
