Just between you and me, I plan to make this an event in 2022 as well but I'm going to go with the Hot Wheels Ford GT LM casting. This will be an all mail-in event with first priority going to participants of the 2022 Formula $pecial Event but will also be open to others as well.
Track
This event takes place following the Grand Prix of South Dakota at the BlackHills Speedway (Hosted by: MnM Diecast Racing)
Race format and scoring
Eight Cars, will be split into two bracks of 4 cars each. Each group of 4 cars will be run 4 times with rotating start positions (KotM / DIRS style).
