(1/4) Know there will always be differing opinions on our new events. As we’ve always said some things will work and some things we will learn and improve upon.Overall, I’d consider the Clash a large step forward. We’re in one of the largest markets in the US, have great support

There are many reasons we don’t have several standalone events on the schedule. Events for our national series require many standards and are inefficient for the industry. That doesn’t mean we haven’t tried and have been lucky enough to add new races like IRP and Milwaukee.
