The 2010 Season starts this week at the FFRL with three
races taking place on the opening week. Drivers should
make sure that they are caught up in their
responsibilities with sending in car files, and checking
in on their schedules.
On Monday night, February 8th, the FFRL Shootout will
take place. The 2nd non-points race of the season with
18 qualified drivers racing 75 laps at Daytona Night.
On Wednesday night, the Sportsman Cup Series makes it's
debut race at Daytona. And then finally, on Thursday
night, the Diamond Truck Series starts it's season at
Daytona.
There is much going on this week and we have much to do
to get us rolling. Prepare, this is going to be great
season.
01/03:
The 2010 Season is quickly coming upon us. Now that
the ham and champagne are done with, it's back to work.
Several changes are being made for the up and coming season.
Mostly on the admin side though so you guys have nothing
to fear.
Those of you who wish to participate in
the 2010 season, in any of the series we have to offer for
next year, the application and rules have been updated.
Starting this Wednesday, Jan. 6th, off-season
practice will officially begin with a run at O'Reilly.
This will take place in the Nationwide mod on Wednesday
with practice starting at 7pm. Qualifying will begin
at it's regular time.. 8:30. Off-season races are
much shorter than season races. Instead of the usual
45%, they run at only 25%. Just enough to get in a
little practice and hopefully meet some new people.
The following schedule is set for off-season:

tracks done first. These track are being renamed for
easy location and understanding. They also have the
2009 pit stall selection as well as the appropriate track
laps for each series.
the 2009 AWARDS CEREMONY
12/14: On Wednesday night, the FFRL had
their award ceremony at 8pm to honor the achievements of
drivers throughout all the series of the FFRL. We
all met in a chat room where a Duck had the speech already
prepared. The FFRL had ordered all the trophies over
a week prior the event and when they were picked up, photos
were taken of each award and placed on the website.
Once the driver was presented with their award, a hyperlink
was given so all drivers in attendance could see the individual
award and offer their applauds to the driver. 17 awards
were passed out along with recognition of those who helped
the FFRL financially over the past year.
For those of you who wish to read up on
the Awards Ceremony, the initial document was posted here:

qualify so they could lead the field to green. #66
