As a crate racer since 2007 i look at the pros and cons of differant series. Here is my view. American racer is posting $20000 total point money with $5000 to the winner. Rush has a total of $80,000 total point money where as one driver could win over $23000 in point money alone. Rush also has $60,000 in products to be awarded to the racers, not gift certs, but actual product including a new GM performance 604 engine. Also CARS has NO experiance in teching cars and engines. Rush has 9 years experiance teching. If you want to race on a level playing field , teching is extremely important. I have been on both sides of good teching and bad teching but i"ll always support good teching of cars, it's absolutely necessary. There is not a doubt that there is only one series that benefits the racers- THE RUSH SERIES. I don't blame American Racer for starting a series since their goal is to sell more tires in the crate market. Rush is not about selling more tires,it's about being a professional race organization run by people dedicated to run a series for the racers and by veteran racers. Many national companies are supporting the rush series with products and cash. Bilstein has just signed on for 3 years with a $13000 point fund for each year. $5000 will go to the highest finishing driver in the weekly points who is on the $135 Bilstein sealed shock. By the way the Bilstein shocks perform excellantly and you only need 6 shocks for the season. My car will be running on the RUSH series and we fully intend to win the Bilstein money. Just had to express my view.
