The '87 Winston Cup 2016 Series

No sooner are we done with the last series than we jump into a whole new one.  As per mostly tradition, we will be following the Cup schedule for this series.  But instead of the 2015 mod and current templates, we're going to run the same tracks with the legends from 1987.  That's right, the Aerowar88 mod with probably the most famous set of drivers from the era if not all time.  Memorable schemes like Darrel Waltrip's Tide 17 or Earnhardt's blue and yellow Wrangler mobile.  We'll also be ignoring the stupid Chase points system and using the original points set forth from 1975 (which ran up until 2004 for those keeping track).  However, we will still allow for lucky dogs so as to keep competition alive.  Here's the breakdown of the series:

Rules:

• Standard driving rules based on the tracks (No cutting corners, pass pace car, etc)
• Black flags will be enforced and cleared only at race control's discretion
• Lucky dog for first car off lead lap
• Mandatory yellows and at least ONE stop for fuel.  
• Full damage
• Realistic weather
• Mulligans are in effect if a yellow is thrown before the race leader completes lap 1.
• Unsportsmanlike conduct will be warned and reprimanded where necessary
• Makeup points will be awarded to drivers for each DNS up to 6 races at the end of the season.  Make ups are not allowed against the final race, you MUST attend to earn there.
• No whining
• I may adjust rules as necessary to uphold the spirit of competition (Jr./France rule)

Format:

Every Wednesday we will complete events on the following time table:

• 19:00 EST - Practice officially begins
• 19:55 EST - Qualifying begins
• 19:55 EST - Happy Hour will briefly run for drivers to learn their pits
• 20:00 EST - Race begins
• 21:00/30 EST - Race ends

I've painted cars for a few of you so far.  Once I get requested numbers, I can finish up some quick paints and get you a lovely customized car for your racing pleasure.

REMEMBER - The lovely Jackass trophy is up for grabs this season, so there's a lot more at stake than just bragging rights.  You get to write your name on it too!  I'll go over that more as the awarding gets closer.  See you next week.
