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!
