wow, that's kinda cool that the tech requirements are a bit more straight forward for the qualifiers... but will they have others?

1. Irwindale, CA   Irwindale Speedway January 14th
2. Houston, TX    Greyhound Park  February 18th
3. San Diego, CA [tentative] Qualcomm Stadium March 18th
4. More to be announced

I think it's VERY interesting that they are now opening the doors to anyone in the world. I guess Japanese FD drivers will be welcome now?

*prays for qualifier in atlanta*

*prays with ya, brotha... prays with ya!*

Andy and martymartymarty.net, go kick some @$$

I don't see how they couldn't have an east coast qualifier. Atlanta and NJ would probably be the most likely. If they don't I guess its either Houston or appeal.

there will be an east coast qualifier.
