 Hooters Pro Cup Series...................... Awsome !!!!!

As you all know I never beat around the bush about anything and if I like something I am going to tell you. If its bad your going to hear and when it is good your going to have it.

Recently I attended the Hooters Pro Cup Series race at Salem Indiana and like I always feel when I leave I want more!!!! The series has as much up and coming talent in it as ARCA  and I believe they are equal . 

I was told it costs a team about 15 to 20 thousand dollars to compete at any ARCA event I was told that you can show up and be ready to race for over half that price. They run BF Goodrich tires on the race cars and I was told was under half the price of Hoosier or Goodyear.

Both series use what I call old Busch Cars or they are equivalent to a Nationwise Series car.

Since the founder of Hooters Restraints Robert Brooks passed away a few years back the series has backed off from several venues however the series still continues to show a progressive climb to become the prominent stepping stone to NASCAR

The racing is very competitive and the show is fantastic.

When I first witnessed this series several years ago it seemed to be a series full of very rich people wanting to be race car drivers.

Through the years those hobbiest have been replaced by drivers and what was once a three to five man show has turned into a field of drivers that anyone has an opportunity to win.

I feel I am not the only one that has seen the change each race I attend seems to have more and more fans in the stands.

The series and the staff are as  professional as any series I have the opportunity to witness .Media Guru Paul Warner runs the department as good as anyone could.

If you really want to waatch a up and coming series full of plenty of talent check this series out
