Is there any reason it has been canceled? Its a real shame, it was alot of fun and pretty much stress free. I was really looking forward to running it this year too.

a pure guess, but the Winter Series was Rusty's baby. with him going away after the Truckers race on Dec 5th....

Yes, we had alot of fun last year doing the Winter Series and the drivers loved it because they could come and run and practice their cars for the upcoming season. We had alot of new drivers who had not actually raced yet that found Winter Series the perfect time to see how it feels to be in a field of cars. No stress, no pressure just pure fun. And we had some kids who found that was the only time they could race since they were home from college for the holidays and that was just like added candy to them for Christmas.

But sadly without Rusty, it is not going to happen. We had a huge response for it this year and I think we would have had more cars than last year but I guess all good things end sometime and Winter Series has ended.
