Description:

The Series is a fictional 10 event Grand Am racing series combining
signature NASCAR events and signature Road Racing events.

Participants will control at least one team of two cars.  You may
control more then one team.

The typical race would work in the following steps:

Event Introduction
Qualifying Session 1 � Provisional Pole
Qualifying Session 2 � Starting Grid
Green Flag
Status at Refueling Pit Stop
Checkered Flag
Event Recap

Each step would start with an email with 1-3 days to post any
comments, trash talking, color, strategies, team orders, conditional
orders, etc.  The "Status at Refueling Pit Stop" step would be
repeated 2+ times based on the number of refueling stops needed for
the appropriate event.  Results will be generated using a combination
of dice rolling and computer assistance with the Lambourne Games World
of Motor Racing System functioning as the basic game engine.  World of
Motor Racing System allows me to generate race results with a decent
combination of ease and detail.

Guidelines:

Drivers are rated in 4 areas:

1.  Qualifying

2.  Driving

3.  Control � ability to avoid on track incidents, contacts, spins, etc.

4.  Care � ability to squeeze the most out of your car without damaging it.

Each team will �build� two drivers by spending points.  In addition to
the 4 ratings, drivers may have specialties.  These are areas where
your driver has a special �knack�.  Nearly anything can be a
specialty: small track ovals, road courses, super speedways, street
circuits, drafting, intimidation, etc.

You will also need to name your drivers, assign them car numbers,
primary sponsors, color(s), etc
