New season (2008A) about to start

There are just a few weeks remaining in the schedule for the current season, and since we don't have any appreciable off-season that means that there are just a few weeks before the start of the next season!  All of the preparation for the upcoming season is being conducted now: tweaking league policies; finalizing the 2008A track list; teams testing new vehicle specifications; new teams potentially forming; drivers considering changing team affiliation; attempts to pilfer giant piles of technical documents from competitors and xeroxing them at Kinko's, etc..!

But that doesn't mean the 2007D season is all tied up with a bow just yet.  The DC (Drivers Championship) is technically still up for grabs, though it will take a very strange set of circumstances to keep the trophy out of AJ's hands (again).  But the remaining two podium spots in the championship are within reach of three drivers (Doug, Abe, Matt).  Team Antares has essentially locked up the TC (Team Championship), though I think Team Ridgefield still has a mathematical chance to eek out the victory.  All of that will be decided by the lone score yet to be entered into the DC/TC standings from the European Region (NHS and Zandvoort).

Note that the league survey has been closed.  We want to thank everybody who took the time to provide feedback.  If you didn't respond to this survey (either because you're lazy, forgetful, or brand new) don't worry - we intend to conduct the survey regularly (probably each season).  Expect another news post soon that summarizes our interpretations of the survey results and how they'll influence the 2008A Regulations.

We've had a lot of new users registered on the website, and we'd like to encourage anyone who's lurking quietly, perhaps curious about joining the league, to go ahead and jump right in.  This is the perfect time.  We've got a couple of weeks to get custom cars defined for new (and existing) drivers, and can get new drivers fully acclimated in time for the start of a brand new season.
