Our monthly Grand Prix Tournament races take place the second Thursday of each month.
Every driver competes in a minimum of 2 races, each race includes a combined practice and the qualifying session followed by a race.
The grid for each race is determined using the Pill Draw system that is common in circle track racing where each driver pics a ball out of a bucket, the number on that ball determines which race you are in and who your fellow competitors are.
Points are awarded for each drivers finishing position, Pro/Am drivers (a racer who has won a previous Tournament) points are handicapped, Novice drivers (racer who has not won a previous tournament) are awarded full points. After 2 races all driver points are added, the 8 racers with the highest point totals go in to the Final race. The racer with the highest points total after the Final race is the night's winner.
The winner, second place and third place will be awarded a purse consisting of cash and prizes.
All tournaments will be "blind", the track will be announced in advance but the cars being raced will not be announced until the Drivers Meeting. Additionally, all racers will compete in the same make and model of car.

Thursday, October 9th
For October we are racing the historic Imola circuit, the pre-1994 version without the chicanes, this is a FAST track with many passing zones. The track is officially known as Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari to pay tribute to Enzo Ferrari and the first iconic Ferrari car, the Dino. So you can count on at least one Ferrari being used in the nights races and maybe another Italian make or two.
Monthly Time Attack Challenge
Each month we host a Time Attack Challenge, every driver must drive the same car at the same track. The driver who sets the fastest lap by the end of the month wins a $100 prize package.
This month we are racing the car that started BMWs M Division, the M1 ProCar. Originally built to Group 4 and 5 specs, these ultra capable mid-engine, rear wheel drive cars making 470 hp to the wheels quickly provided themselves. The cars became so popular that the ProCar series was created which put F1 drivers behind the wheel as demo races on F1 race weekends.
Are they fun to drive? YES, but they are a handful. And at the Suzuka Circuit that we are racing them at, you are going to get a workout!
Beat the Race Director
Racers are always asking to race against our Race Director, so let's do it!
The first Wednesday of each month simply come in and say that you want to race the Race Director. If you win you win a Yellowstone Grand Prix prize package.
Track and cars being raced will be the choice of the Race Director.
Race fee is our normal $12 per race.
Pre-Season 3 Hour
Saturday, January 17th
While real racing isn't happening yet we still want to sim race so our first Endurance race of the year will be a "pre-season" race not tied to any real race.
We will be racing the Suzuka Circuit in Japan, the same track used by F1 and just about every other major international racing series. The car we will racing is the Prototype 3 Honda in a 3 hour race.
Please note: All Endurance races will now be on Saturday mornings.
There are 8 open sims, each entry fee is $50 per sim (be it 1 driver, 2 or 3). Entry fee must be paid in advance to secure your sim. Sim selection is based on first paid gets the first pick.
