Notes:
Primary Objective:  In the FFRL "Off-Season", there are two objectives we wish to accomplish.  The first, to introduce new drivers into a series or new drivers into the FFRL.  The second objective is to test new tracks for the 2009 season.  Tracks are constantly being updated and bugs being fixed.  The FFRL primarily uses tracks from "Safer Barrier Project".  Tracks that are not from SBP are filled with either SuperSpeedway.net (Pocono) or Revamped (Indy, Infineon)
In the FFRL "Off-Season", the server is open to the public for possible new drivers interested into the FFRL.  Car numbers are not required at this time.  It is recommended, but not mandatory, that driver use the "default" cars in the opponents manager so the field is not fully filled with generics.  We do realize that some will have duplicate numbers and therefore some will be filled in with a generic.  NEW drivers wishing to participate will need to notify admin@ffrl.org at least 4 hours prior to race start.  Those interested must download and install the anti-cheat software "Race Inspector".  A link will also be given for the track download.
The "SETUP" for the "Off-Season" is shorter than the actual races during the season.  Races will be run at 35% based on the actual race length.  EXAMPLE:  Daytona in the Magnum Series would be 35% of 500 miles.  Daytona in the Sportsman Series would be 35% of 300 miles.
2 Weeks to go:  At this time, all remaining practices will be set and run according to Series Specifications.  Drivers who are currently with the FFRL or new to the FFRL, must have their car files submitted by this time to allow time for upload and for other drivers to grab the files.  Server is still open to the public at this time.
1 Week to go:  The final week of "Off-Season" practice is only open to REGISTERED FFRL Drivers.  All car files should have already been submitted by this time and drivers should have downloaded the cars for the series they wish to participate in.
