My personal experience with online racing is that at every race someone will eventually miss: there is also something unforeseen that makes it impossible for a driver to participate. I understand it is a bit awkward to have more drivers signed up than racing spots but I am pretty certain that, in case we had 16 drivers and 15 spots no one would ever stay outside a race.
Still, it's a risky bet, and in case everyone shows up we must ask the last signed racer to abdicate from his spot at the starting grid. The series manager shall have the best decision on this matter.
It just feels good to see this many racers looking for a grid spot in this series.

You should be ok mate, as the majority of our US drivers won't be able to make it anyway. I'm expecting maybe just over a half grid 
EDIT: And my new mic has finally arrived, so I should actually be able to communicate with you guys tomorrow..for once 👍

That was pretty fun, especially the NASCAR. Apart from Joe's magical ability to pass everybody going into the final corner and win the race by 0.01 of a second....twice
I let him win!
There's a reason people called me "the freight train" back in SCANA.
I let you win!
I've got visions of you overtaking the entire pack on the last lap of the Daytona Championship race haha
I'm going to win!

Tom, you still have 25 October in the title thread, you need to change this to 26 October.
On another note, and in a dramatic turn of events, RFLX_Niop has agreed to join Team Penske as a reserve driver in the US series.
In respect of Niop's credentials, none are better in US style driving. He is currently Season 1 NASCAR Champ, Season 1 IROC Champ, Season 1 reserve driver to bring the NASCAR Truck Series to DropTop. Niop is looking forward to further completing his CV in US racing series by looking to take down the IZOD IndyCar Season 1 also.
This is a welcome addition to Team Penske which also holds both myself and Championship favourite DrifterJoe. Welcome Niop. 👍 👍 👍

Sorry mate, I've changed it now 👍 Welcome Niop, I'll add you as a reserve right now. Can I also ask some questions about the US series, I've had slightly less to do with it and am quite confused. These are mostly aimed at LV I suppose 
Who's lounge are the races to be held in?
Does anybody know someone who can be their Safety Car Driver?
And finally LV, you'll have to inform the reserve drivers if they're needed on the day of the race.
EDIT: We really, really, really do need at least a couple more UK drivers. PM anybody you think may be interested!

Morning! I'm gonna have to put you down as a reserve for the US series as we already have 17 drivers vying for 15 grid spots. If there's no way you can make the UK time, this is the only way, sorry mate 👎

Knew this would kick in nearer the time.
Real shame though that we are not getting enough in the UK series, but I suppose it is a US event!
LV, we need to know about hosting etc for your side of things. You have a full room with reserves, and we can't let these guys down. 👍

I've done a bit of plugging elsewhere, just gotta hope!
And the numbers aren't my main concern at the moment anyway. My main concern is like you said, what's happening with the US series, LV needs to know that he's got 18 guys ready to race, 15 grid spots but we don't even know who's hosting yet 👍

I will have to have someone reliable host the rooms with the correct settings, laps, etc. Im still not certain I will have a connection by the season opener. It all depends on if my roommates can come up with the money to split the router as its $180 to be able to reach the 300ft with a strong signal.

And on another note, we need a backup host for the US series, just in case LV cannot host, any volunteers?
