First and foremost it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that RASCAR will be coming to a close on August 1st, 2016. Currently there are 3 running series FCS, OMFIS, and MMS. FCS will finish its remaining 4 races over the course of May 22nd, May 29th, June 5th, and June 12th. OMFIS will not be continuing from this point forward. MMS will finish if dajonesey27 wishes it to conclude, I would talk to him for more information about MMS. Now I'm sure that most of you are wondering the reasons behind my decision to close RASCAR. I can tell you there are many reasons, but the ones that are most important are as follows.
1. Time: On August 2nd, 2016 I will be going to basic training for the United States Air Force. This will take 2 months to complete, October 2nd, 2016. I then go to tech school for 3-4 months. January/February 2nd, 2017. Then I get assigned a duty station which I have no clue where that will be yet and if I will even have time to access a computer on a regular basis at any point along this timeline. I have aspirations to bring back RASCAR under a new brand/name sometime after this timeline. I of course don't expect to see many familiar faces, but I would like to try and make a successful racing community on ROBLOX. I just don't have the Time...
2. Lack of Motivation: When I first started RASCAR it was because what I saw in other racing leagues was troublesome and upsetting. There was a lack of cohesiveness between the organizations and the drivers who ran in them and a total disconnect between any sort of structure. Most leagues just seemed to be all over the place. I will say however that NARA was actually the best of these series because at least their community was centered around Kiboy and his humor. Other leagues were just so dull and fake feeling that I couldn't stand to be apart of them. As RASCAR progressed I started to feel less and less motivated. Not only was I spending way to much time on a video game trying to build tracks and host events. I was not even doing it for a large audience. RASCAR had a very low driver count across all series for almost the entirety of its existence. I'm not sure if it was my lack of organization or just a lack in driver motivation, but it also demotivated me the spend hours making a track to have 4 people show up in a series with 25 registered drivers on a Saturday evening.
I will post more information about FCS later this week on the group shout.
I want to thank everyone who gave RASCAR a chance and showed up and gave me the motivation to keep going up to this point. I will list a number of these people below.

Spy822 (kys, nah but thanks for showing up even if you were the biggest troll on the planet.)

vEditinq (Also active in FTS thanks for supporting RASCAR.)
NIGHT0UT (YOU HAD THE CHAMP THEN WENT AFKGUY, but thanks for supporting RASCAR m8.)
Thank you anyone else I did not mention for making RASCAR what it was, I hope that you guys will reflect on RASCAR in a positive way, though that is for you to decide.
I do not intend to quit Roblox, I just can't see me making time for RASCAR at this time in my life. I hope everyone enjoyed my hosting and maybe I will see ya next time!
