It look like the FI pro is getting small so what can you do to get it competive like it once was?

 

it's smaller because so many car are wanting to race fi sport instead. We've made a lot more restrictions for fi sport so they will be forced to race fi pro. It's been working! we're also making sure everyone know fi pro pays more and top 4, not just 1st and 2nd.

 

IFO schedule is looking good out here.....

 

Two races in Dallas, YES!
