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).  Cars are awarded 5 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd, 1 point for 4th and 0 points for a DNF.  The top two scoring cars from each group of 4 cars forms a new 3rd group of 4 cars.  This 3rd group will also be run 4 times with rotating start positions and awarded points.  The winner is the Driver/Car with the most points.
