As of January 1, 2009 the FTSRL will be moving ALL of its activities to the RacingTexas league.  RacingTexas (www.racingtexas.com) is an online racing league that runs organized racing events on both NR2003 and ARCA Sim platforms.

All registered FTSRL drivers have been pre-approved for access to RacingTexas, provided that they:

1. Sign-up at www.racingtexas.com;

2. Register on the RacingTexas forum (link is on their website);

3. Read the sticky forum topics under the General forum category and accept the terms set forth.

The plan, as agreed on by RacingTexas officials and FTSRL officials will be for the two leagues to combine under the RacingTexas banner.  Chuck Chamblee will assume the duties and responsibilities of admin of the Wednesday night Late Model divisions and series.

Wednesday night's activities will run for most of the year, beginning in February with a 12-week Pro Late Model Series schedule.  The PLM Series will feature fixed setup racing with driving aids optional, running on the ASA1990 Late Model (CTS physics) mod.

In May, Wednesday nights will switch gears and begin running a 12-week Super Late Model Series schedule.  The SLM Series will feature fixed setup racing in HARDCORE mode (no driving aids allowed), running on the LMPv2 mod.

Then in August, we'll switch to the OutlawsGNS Late Model mod to begin the 9th annual Huntsville Speedway Challenge Series.  This will be an eight-week schedule, featuring for the first time in its history the Outlaw Late Models.  The 9th annual HSCS will run OPEN setups and Hardcore (no driving aids), with visuals optional.

Finally, in October will be the 3rd annual Music City 400, featuring a three-week "SpeedWeeks" schedule, beginning with LIVE qualifying the first week, a 200-lap Pro Late Model feature the second week, and ending with a 200-lap Super Late Model feature the third week.  Both 200 lappers will be webcast live on RLM-TV.  Racers, if you've never participated in a live qualifying session, then you're in for a real treat.  More information on this special event later in the year.

2009 promises to be an exciting racing season, as we embark on this journey to the RacingTexas league.  All FTSRL racers are hereby asked to go to the RacingTexas website and immediately and sign-up.  In the "Referred By" box on the sign-up form, please indicate that you were referred by the FTSRL.  We need to get this process done quickly so that we will be all set to go racing by February.
