Change on the Horizon

Change can be a good thing, and that is our expectation here at the American Sim Racing Series. We are changing for the better. Some announcements will be made this week regarding changes we are making to make the league better for our members and to promote growth.

First off, we are making a change to our membership structure. Details will be released later this week, but this change could have a great impact on the league.

Secondly, we are going to sit back a little bit and let things work themselves out. Gone are the days of penalties flying off the walls, we are still going to penalize when necessary, but we are going to be a little more laid back about it. We feel this will not only allow our drivers to not worry about getting penalized for every little offense, but it will promote better racing.

Third, We are going to take a look at the divisions offered and realign the different series to allow everyone a chance to race in the division of their choice. The exception to this will be the Truck Series, with the strict schedule and tracks we follow, there is very little room for change.

Another change will be the forum layout, we have placed sub-forums into the division forums. Most will include an "Announcements” forum and an “Event Information” forum. These forums will allow the important information to be better organized. The “Announcements” and “Event Information” sub-forums will only allow postings by ASRS Administrators, but all members can reply to topics if they feel the need to do so.

The forums will also have a new forum going live soon, the “Question and Answer” forum will be posted as a sub-forum under ASRS General Discussion. This will be a place where members (new and old) can ask a question to the community, and receive an answer from the many talented members of ASRS.

It will be quite interesting to see how these changes work out in the long run, we will be constantly reviewing these changes and addressing any issues which may arise. We look forward to serving you, the member!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns or suggestions you can email me at jim@americansimracing.com. I will be happy to speak with anyone about the changes and what we can do to make ASRS a better place for us all!

Change can be a great, great thing!

Sincerely,

Jim Foose
