As far as the 5000iR, your iRating needs to be below 5000iR (oval) to start racing this season. IF an active driver exceeds 5000 during the course of the season, they will still be allowed to continue to race the remainder of the season.

UPDATE 05/24/2020:
Hi guys,
Just to answer a few questions/concerns that I've heard/received.
-AMS is still here and isn't going anywhere. If you are already part of the league, then you are all set. Some numbers have been freed up and a few more will be soon.
-Some members have expressed interest in having the races broadcasted, so we will be working that out. As soon as we have more info, we will announce it.
-A shake up this early in the season was never the plan. The plan was to make these changes next season, but after 1 OG admin quitting and 2 others ready to be done, waiting until Feb 2021 was just too far away.
It was very clear that there were at least 2 schools of thought on how the league should be handled/run (basically OG admins vs. newer admins) that we decided that now was the time for the change.
I truly appreciated all of the help and contributions from all of the admins (past and present). There was no hate or malice in the admin group (as far as I know), just maybe too many admins.
-Our focus is more on quality over quantity. We've had many good races this year (for the most part) and hope to continue the good on-track experience. We want people to race as hard as they want. What we don't want is all of the negativity, putdowns and clowns.
After the first couple of races, depending on the participation numbers, we may open up the league to new drivers. I personally think that we will have a good group.
Any questions, feel free to message me.
Thanks,
Chris
UPDATE 05/23/2020: ANNOUNCEMENT
Some of you may know that over the past few years, my heart hasn't been in the league like it used to be.
I am not that thrilled at the direction that it has gone over that time and was considering "retiring" from the league last year. I stayed this year to help the admins learn/do many of the tasks that I've been doing for years.
As the owner, I was able to veto certain things or strongly suggest certain things, while at the same time letting the admins vote/decide on many things as well.
There were a couple different directions that some admins/drivers seemed to want to go, so by making this move, it gives us both the freedom to go in the directions we feel is best.
Well, after a decade or so, I (and others) thought it's time to go back to when the league was run a little more simpler and WAY more respectful. Myself, a few admins, and hopefully many of you drivers will join us for this "new" approach to AMS.
Starting Monday, June 1st, we will be starting up a new 2020 season, with a more simpler respectful approach. We still look forward to good, hard competitive racing.
Updated series:
Use current (A) Cup cars.
Still 1 fast repair.
Shorter seasons. (2 seasons per year).
iRating 5000 max.
No caution warning list. (2 caused cautions in a race will still be parked for remainder of race)
Problem drivers will be approached by admins with warning to clean it up. If problems continue after that, suspensions may be in order.
Respect on AND off the track. (Code of Conduct)
Broadcast - TBD
Same day and times.
The schedule (20 races- 13 regular season/7 Chase races)
I've made ALOT of friends over the years, and to me, that's what Monday's were/are all about (besides the racing).
We look forward to seeing you on the track.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. If you have any questions, please contact or message me.
UPDATE 05/16/2020:
Next Monday is an off week for the league. There will be a Mid-Ohio race setup in the B-Cars with a 40 lap race.

We had a lot of cautions Monday night. 11 cautions, our most this season. Right now we feel there is a lack of respect towards each other. We must all respect each other on and off the track. We appreciate your cooperation in following our rules and being a part of great racing. We understand mistakes happen but the amount of mistakes happening, whether a caution comes out or not, is at an unacceptable level. We will begin to notify drivers if the quality of driving is at a level that needs to improve and implementing penalties if needed.
When a wreck is ahead, YOU MUST SLOW DOWN, and do your best to avoid the incident. Actions will be taken towards drivers who do not follow this expectation.
Additionally, the following members have been barred from racing:
1. Thomas Conheady
2. Scott Sanderson
3. Greg Elliott
4. Clint Collins
These changes are intended to improve the racing offered at Amsleague.
********Caution List*******

Another thing: Once again, if you see a wreck happening in front of you, please do not ARCA Brake it and try to make up positions.
Thank you everyone for coming out. Good luck and have fun!

******CAUTION WARNING LIST******
#2 Kevin James
#9 Matt Hoyle (As of Auto Club) 1st Warning
#22 Topper Dugas (As of Auto Club) 1st Warning
UPDATE 02/25/2020: The AMS League Cup Series rolled the dice on the strip and hit the asphalt track that is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Many anticipated a tough road ahead with the race session set for 3 fast repairs (Thanks Dalton Baldwin) and a full field of 43 drivers.
However, with the odds stacked high for a caution fest and tire wear being an issue to some in the field, the AMS League Cup Series drivers all hit the jackpot with green flag runs and only 6 cautions. Tyler Popp and Glenn Murphy Jr dominated the race where they lead 89 of the 125 laps combined.
Tyler Popp ultimately won the 188-mile race after a great restart with 18 laps till the checkered flag. Jon Schwartz would claim the first loser spot in second place and Josh Thaxton finished in the lucky 3rd spot. Glenn Murphy Jr fell to fourth place and new comer Mitchell Reaves would round out your top 5.
The AMS League Cup Series next heads to Fontana for the Auto Club 200 on March 2nd. As usual, practice starts at 7:30PM Eastern, qualifying at 9:20PM and grid at 9:25PM. See ya’ll next week!
IF YOU HAVE A THREE DIGIT NUMBER PLEASE CHOOSE SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING SINGLE AND DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBERS LEFT. Check the website at AMSLeague.com. Thanks!
CAUTION:
Kevin James Troczynski - 1st Friendly Warning
Clearing Black Flags:
We have made a slight change to our clearing black flag procedure. If you receive a passing under yellow black flag we will clear the penalty HOWEVER, you then will receive an EOL penalty. We feel like the iRacing green flag penalty is a bit much but still want some sort of penalty to try and prevent these things from happening.
All other black flag rules will be staying the same. Most black flags are non clearable and will be at the admins discretion. Please read the rules on the website if you are not sure what they are. If you have any questions feel free to message any of the admins.
UPDATE 02/19/2020:
Congratulations to our Top 5:

2nd - Joshua Banks
3rd - Jonathan Schwartz
4th - Chris Ostrander
5th - Randy Armes
Great job guys.
The league scoring system that we and many other leagues use still has some issues. Provisionals still can't be added.
Also, any driver using the Mustang are not scored. Since it at least shows the proper finishing positions, I am able to add "bonus" points to those drivers to accurately reflect the proper points for the race.
Hopefully they work out the bugs since DanLisa is pretty much the only league scoring system out there right now. iRacing's own league scoring system is not really a viable option right now, but we will be keeping our eyes open for one.
Updated caution warning list
As always, appeals or protests should be submitted within 7 days.
Next up: Monday, June 17th: OFF
Then, Monday, June 24th - Sonoma - See you then.
UPDATE 06/05/2019:
A couple of updates:
-Iowa - Since it is scheduled as a night race, the track ToD (time of day setting) will start at 8:00pm x2.
-General: The Ford Fusion can no longer be used and the Ford Mustang will replace it. With the new GWC (green-white-checkers) feature, we will have a max of 3.
-Caution warning list: This was introduced to help eliminate the extreme amount of cautions we were having earlier in the season. The vast majority of drivers never make it onto the list, at least not past the initial warning.
If a driver does make it beyond the first warning (2nd or 3rd) then they probably need to change something. (aggressiveness, more practice at a certain track, or??? )
Einstein once said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Not calling anyone insane, although outsiders looking in at this hobby of ours might think different lol.
Again, to get on the list (1st warning), you would be the cause of a caution in 2 of 3 consecutive races. To clear that warning, you will have to complete the next 2 races without causing a caution. That's not asking a lot.
With all of that said, it is a pain in the ass to update every week as nothing about it is automated. With the current group of active drivers at AMS, it is much less needed now than it was earlier in the season. The initial plan was to have a "reset" at the conclusion of the regular season (going into the chase). Whether we do that, or get rid of it altogether or........, we'll make a decision by mid September.
-And finally, post-race Pocono: It was brought up that a driver(s) comments to or about another driver(s) should be dealt with.
We have always said not to do that over chat during races and to wait until after the race to deal with issues you may have with another driver.
Since it was not over the top or vulgar and was post-race, no actions will be taken.
Thanks. See you at Iowa.
UPDATE 06/04/2019:
Congrats to Kaleb Isenhour on the win at Pocono.
A few drivers still need to be added to the results, but the scoring system can't sync with iRacing right now (probably because of the new build). It will get done sometime this week.

2nd - Joshua Banks
3rd - Greg Elliott
4th - Randy Armes
5th - Jonathan Schwartz
Good job boys.
Richmond showed some really good racing and some really good saves, but many of the cautions/wrecks had some familiar names involved. Some of the wrecks happened as the result of drivers pinching others in the turns, and while that is certainly allowed, giving a little room (especially so early in the race) would've prevented some of those wrecks.
Also, if you see some wrecking or cars getting out of shape ahead of you (even if the yellow hasn't come out.... yet), it is almost always a good idea to burp the throttle or check up for obvious reasons.
*The list of drivers with caution warnings will be posted in next weeks update.
A couple of notes for the upcoming Rockingham race on Monday:
-Scheduled non-points event.
-All AMS rules in effect.
-Since this is a non-points race, drivers under caution warnings aren't affected by this race, nor will any cautions caused by anyone be recorded towards a caution warning.
-NO FAST REPAIR (don't read into this).
We look forward to everyone joining us for this (hopefully) fun and exciting race.

UPDATE 04/10/2019:
2018 was a really good year for AMS.
2019 has started out rough, but is getting better. There's been alot of talk of how rough it's been, and rightly so, but there are certainly alot of great people and good racing on the track at times.
Sure, there were less drivers in the races last year but waaaayyyy less cautions/wrecks.
Hopefully everyone will use their pedals more wisely at Richmond and we can have some really good racing and even green flag pitstops.
See you guys Monday.

UPDATE 04/09/2019:
Congrats to Glenn Murphy Jr on the Cup Series win at Bristol. His first win of 2019, and most likely not his last. Pole, led almost all of the laps and the only driver with 0 incidents, can't ask for a better finish.
Good job to many other drivers throughout the field for good, clean hard racing.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Joshua Banks
3rd - Josh Thaxton
4th - Tyler Meeks
5th - Greg Elliott
Great job guys.
We had alot of good racing throughout the field, and some not so good racing (sound familiar).
Some updates as to how we are at least attempting to clean up some of the racing.
Michael R Skinner has been removed from AMS.
Bruce Ackermann is suspended for one race for violation of caution warning.
The following drivers are currently under a caution warning, meaning that if they bring out 1 caution in the next race or two (depends on when they received their warning) that they participate in, they will have to park it.

We feel this approach has been slowly working. Reducing cautions will of course make for longer green flag runs and less wrecking. Believe it or not, Bristol was better for it and hopefully Richmond will see some green flag pit stops.

UPDATE 04/02/2019:
Congrats to Ben M Bando on the Cup Series win at Texas. His first win at AMS. Starting 29th and leading the most laps, shows that he is a contender this year. Some very good racing throughout the field showed everyone how competitive many of you guys are.

2nd - Greg Elliott
3rd - Joshua Soucy

5th - Dylan Prostler
Great job guys.
We've had some really good racing throughout the field, but there are some drivers that have brought out cautions because they are either too aggressive or careless.
12 of those drivers will need to park if they are the cause of a caution in the next couple of races. (they have been given warnings)
Of those 12, six of those drivers will also be suspended if they bring out a caution in the next couple of races.
We are doing our best to help reduce the amount of cautions we are having and we are clearly noticing a pattern.
Basically, those that continue to bring out cautions will be parked so that the rest of us can have some fun, competitive green flag racing.
Shit happens. We get that. But it's not fair to those that are regularly racing clean, to have to deal with so many cautions.
With Bristol coming up, we ask everyone to drive within their means so we don't have another shitshow like we did at Martinsville. We have so many good drivers (regardless of speed) that we shouldn't be having so many cautions.

UPDATE 03/26/2019:
The following will hopefully help clear up how we deal with cautions.
We have all brought out a caution at some point. Most cautions are a result of a mistake, aggresive driving or good hard racing. Rarely is it ever malicious.
Most cautions are attributed to 1 driver being at fault more than the other driver(s). Whether its 99/1 or 60/40. Very rarely is it deemed an even 50/50. On those very rare occasions that it's deemed 50/50 or netcode, no driver is recorded for that caution.
The main purpose for us keeping a record of cautions is to establish a pattern, whether it's multiple cautions in one race or multiple cautions over the last few races or even the amount of cautions over the season.
We will have cautions from time to time no matter what, but the ultimate goal is to greatly reduce them.
At this time we have chosen not to publicly list drivers that cause cautions, but may change that in the future. Some drivers that bring out a caution one week may not bring out another caution for a very long time, while other drivers will show a pattern.
As far as short tracks, especially Martinsville and Bristol with these cars, a high percentage of iRacers in general either lack the skill or racecraft or patience or respect or a combination, that's why we see so many cautions at these tracks on iRacing. Larger tracks are generally less technical and often less problematic to most.
Still, that is no excuse for last night.
Again, our goal is to greatly reduce the amount of cautions and to have long green flag runs (we don't think that's asking too much lol). If we need to remove a certain driver or drivers to help us reach that, then we will do what we have to. It's not fair to most of us that show up to have some fun competive racing.

Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/26/2019:
Congrats to Joshua Banks on the Cup Series win at Martinsville. His first win at AMS and a dominant one at that. Some good racing when it was green, but 109 laps under yellow made it a really rough race. Next week can't come soon enough.
Rounding out the top 4:
2nd - Dylan Prostler
3rd - Jonathan Schwartz
4th - Josh Thaxton
Good job guys.
This week 3 drivers were given penalty points for their adjusted finishing position based on what lap they brought out their second caution. (you are no longer being scored once you bring out a your second caution in a race)
Also, this week 7 drivers were given their first caution warning for bringing out cautions in 2 of the 3 previous races, adding to the 3 drivers that received one last week. Of those 3, one driver received the second caution warning, meaning that if he brings out a caution in the next 2 races that he participates in, he will be suspended.
We hate to have to do this, but we really need to bring down the caution numbers and bring up the green flag racing laps.
***Starting next week at Texas, we will be going back to our normal (practice, qualify and race) all in 1 session. We would still advise everyone not to wait until the last minute to join.***
Our broadcaster Matt was under the weather and we expect him to be back for Texas.

UPDATE 03/25/2019:
We now have an AMS decal layer for your paint schemes. Check them out or download them here.
UPDATE 03/21/2019:
New changes to iRacing/Trading Paints
(1) Since MOST paint schemes are missing the decal layer now (contingencies etc), it is very easy to add them back. Go to Trading Paints and click on your car that you want to check. For those not familiar with painting etc, an easy way to tell if your contingencies are there or not, is to look on the fender behind the front tires. If your contingencies are there, there is nothing for you to do. If your contingencies are NOT there, click the "CHOOSE PAINT" dropdown on the top right and choose "Add Default Decal Stamp". That's it.
(1a) For those a little more advanced, a couple of our members are making a decal layer that will also include the new AMS logo, banner etc. (More info on that at a later time)
(2) "Custom Number paints are visible:"
-to drivers and spectators in hosted or league sessions where the host selects the option to disable decals and numbers and a Custom Number paint is uploaded to a driver’s Trading Paints account (WE WON'T BE USING THIS METHOD)
-to drivers and spectators in ANY iRacing session where that user has checked the “Hide Numbers” option in their iRacing graphics settings (WE WILL BE USING THIS METHOD)
(2a) We ask that all drivers check the "Hide Numbers" box in your in-sim graphics settings. This is not mandatory, but it will probably enhance your experience across all iRacing sessions.
(For those not familiar with these new changes, ALL cars will have numbers on them, regardless of what you do or don't do.)
More info on iRacing's/Trading Paint's new features:

http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3644296.page
*To painters using custom numbers: You must have your proper number on the car and all numbers must be visible.
tl;dr
If you do nothing (since this weeks patch), everything should look as it has in the past except:
-contingencies on your car may no longer be there. (1)
-you will not see custom numbers/schemes on some cars. (2a)
UPDATE 03/19/2019:
Congrats to Kaleb Isenhour on the Cup Series win at Auto Club. His first win at AMS. An exciting race without the past drama made for a fun race overall. An early caution at the front of the field and a late race caution setting up a 2 lap shootout both really changed up the dynamics of the race. Thanks to everyone for keeping race chat civil.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Trevor Roppolo
3rd - Jonathan Schwartz
4th - Josh Thaxton
5th - Matthew Hoyle
Good job boys.
Blinking/lagging cars - We try to give anyone with those type of issues time to straighten out their connection. If after some time goes by and the blinking/lagging is still present, we ask that ride in the back or preferably park it until your connection is stable, otherwise we will have to park you.
No post-race penalties at this time, but a few drivers will be receiving their first "friendly" caution warning.
As always, if you see an issue that you feel the admins may have missed or not addressed, or if you have any issues at all with another driver or admin decision, please contact us http://www.amsleague.com/protest.html The more feedback, the better it is for everyone.

UPDATE 03/14/2019:
We would like to give everyone a heads up on how we will be dealing with caution rule 6.4.1. (Continuing to Cause Cautions)
Over the last few years we have been lax on this rule, but now with more racers and more cautions, we feel this will help reduce cautions and improve green flag racing.
With a full field of drivers of various levels of skill, aggressiveness etc, we will have cautions. We have all brought out a caution at some point, and we will all most likely bring out one again.
Even though this rule/procedure applies to everyone, VERY FEW will be affected by it.
Following the Auto Club race and moving forward, any driver that is the cause of at least one caution per race in 2 of the 3 previous races, will receive a "friendly warning" to not bring out a caution over the next 2 races.
If they DO NOT bring out a caution over those 2 next races, the warning will disappear.
If they DO bring out a caution over those 2 races, they will be required to park it immediately. They will then receive another warning informing them that if they bring out a caution in one of the next 2 races, they will have to again park it immediately and they will be suspended 1 race.
In the past, this has helped reduce the amount of cautions, especially with those that continuously had brought out cautions.
Again, VERY FEW drivers will actually be affected by this rule/procedure as most drivers don't bring out cautions very often, and those that do, will often adjust their driving as to reduce the amount of cautions they do bring out.
Rule 6.4. is still in effect (if you are the cause of 2 cautions in a race, you will be required to park your car for the remainder of the race) .
tl;dr
If you ARE NOT bringing out any/many cautions, business as usual.
If you ARE bringing out several cautions, there will be penalties.
Thank You for your understanding in this matter.

Penalties - A few drivers received post-race penalties. Because our scoring program (DanLisa) does not allow for adjusting finishing positions from the official results, most penalties are by points.
For example: If 25 cars finish on the lead lap, and the 10th place driver gets a penalty requiring tail end of the lead lap, his penalty will be 15 points.
A penalty can be appealed at [email protected] or http://www.amsleague.com/protest.html
A few of the penalties were for: 2nd caused caution, unintentionally spinning/wrecking another car under caution, intentional contact under caution, asking for and receiving a cleared black flag that was not deemed clearable.

We apologize to those that couldn't make the race. We were expecting the race session to fill up early, (within an hour, not in 7 minutes) we hope this new race eligibility procedure will be more fair to all.
We are also sorry for the broadcast for the Daytona race. Matt had a personal/family situation that prevented him from being there and we appreciate Jacob being in the booth for us. Matt and company will be back in full force for Atlanta.

UPDATE 02/19/2019:
AMS Cup Series Announcement: Race Eligibility
Starting next week at Atlanta Motor Speedway, we will be hosting a qualifying room separate from the race room. This will give everyone an equal chance to qualify their way into the races.
The qualifying room will open for practice at our regular time of 7:30 pm ET. Qualifying will be at the normal time of 9:20 pm ET as well.
After qualifying is over at 9:25 pm ET, that session will CLOSE and another will open for the race at 9:35 pm ET. The ten minute gap is to account for the time it will take an admin to setup the new session with the grid set from qualifying and any hiccups that might occur. That room will have a 10 min warmup to give drivers time to get in the race room and the race will grid at 9:45 pm ET.
We realize that this will push the race start time back 20 mins. We hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone and apologize if it does. We just feel this is the best way to insure everyone gets the best and fair opportunity to race.
If we have 2 straight weeks of less than 40 drivers, we will revert back to having everything in one session. This is because, generally speaking, after a few races into the season, the field size tends to shrink. Obviously, we want you all to be here and be able to make it every race. But sadly, that doesn't always happen. Going back would also put us back to our regular race start time.
Also, drivers who finished inside the top 10 in the 2018 AMS Cup Series point standings will have locked in positions to each race, given they make a qualifying attempt.
TL:DR
- Qualifying Rooms
- Separate from race room
- Practice still from 7:30 pm to 9:20 pm ET.
- Qualifying still at 9:20 pm ET.
- After qualifying, race room will open at 9:35 pm ET.
- 10 min warmup.
- Grid at 9:45 pm ET.
- Green flag at approx. 9:46 ET.
- 2 straight weeks of less than 40 drivers, we will go back to old way of practice, qualifying and race all in one session.

-If you are the cause of 2 cautions in a race, you will be required to park your car for the remainder of the race.
-If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race, you will be given a warning and further action may be taken. (in the past we have been lenient on this rule, that is no longer the case)
-NO INTENTIONALLY WRECKING YOUR FELLOW COMPETITORS. Doing so under caution will be an immediate suspension.
-Black Flags: All iRacing given black flags will be upheld unless a Main Staff member says otherwise. Main Staff gets final call on all black flags given.
-Clearing Black Flags: If you feel you were wrongly given a black flag, or according to any of our rules, you should not have received one, then tell an admin your situation and we may clear it.
-Cleared Black Flags: Any black flags cleared by a Main Staff member during a race will be subject to a mandatory post race review.
-Black Flags for Avoiding a Wreck: If you're attempting to avoid a wreck, or you spin down pit road, and you are NOT the cause of the accident/incident, any black flags given to you from this will be cleared. Just ask an admin to clear them. (single car pit road violations will not be cleared)
-15 Drivers will make the chase based on regular season points. (No stages, no elimination rounds, no win and you're in)
-After the Daytona Clash, all track time-of-day (ToD) settings for races will be set to the actual race start time.

- At the conclusion of the Homestead race, the league will be opened up to allow new drivers.

2nd - Randy Armes
3rd - Joshua Soucy

Great job guys.
Next up: Monday, November 12th: Phoenix
-Monday- AMS Cup Series - Chase race #5 - CSU One Cure 150 at ISM Raceway - Broadcasted on ASN https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfjr2WRM-6qZkDHb9wyk0Sw/featured and iRacing Live
Good Luck and Have Fun.
** After a careful post-race review, it was determined that Jonathan intentionally brought out the caution (self spin) which resulted in him to stop being scored, which would've resulted in a 10th place finish (5 positions/points).
This was not the first time that this was suspect, but it can sometimes be difficult to prove a self spin.
This was in violation of rule 5.5. Race Manipulation/Cheating.
At AMS, we consider cheating to be one of the worst things that can be done in the league and it will usually require suspensions or even removal from the league.
In the above case, that penalty was considered a warning and it also included a probation for that violation through the end of the 2019 season.
Update- ##58 Jonathan Schwarz appealed his penalty that was assessed after the race at Chicagoland Speedway on Monday night. After a lengthy discussion and hearing Jon's case, we have decided to adjust the penalty. His original finishing position of 5th place will be reinstated and the 5 points that was taken away due to that will be reinstated. However, he will be on probation until the end of 2019; primarily concerning incidents like this, but it is not limited to them. This decision was due to a host of factors regarding many things and moving forward, certain things will be handled and looked at differently.
In the future, questionable cautions and incidents will be looked at more closely. Depending on the severity, circumstances, and evidence leading up to it, it may immediately result in a penalty or will be talked about with the driver and a warning will be given.
There are other habits and common incidents with drivers that from now on, will be talked about with the driver, rather than us keeping a mental note of it. It will be written down and kept track of and handled accordingly.
In closing, AMS does not tolerate intentional wrecking or attempted race manipulation of any kind. Every incident has a multitude of circumstances and evidence leading to it. Those are not always clear cut. This is why an appeals process is in place. But that DOES NOT mean that any appeal will result in a penalty being overturned or lessened. It means there is a possibility that it could be. Again, we will be looking into certain situations a lot more closely now and keeping a better tally and communication of any questionable incidents for our own records and for the drivers knowledge.
We would also like to highly advise ALL drivers save their own replay of the race. As replays can look and vary greatly from driver to driver. But your replay will give a 100% accurate representation of your car, which may need to be known to prove the reasoning for a penalty to be overturned. You do not need to keep the replays for a long period of time (realistically, at most a few days to a week) as they can take up a lot of space on a hard drive. This isn't a rule, but a major suggestion to save them for a short period of time.
As always, if anyone has and questions, concerns, comments etc, please feel free to contact admin(s) via message or TeamSpeak would be best.

A couple reminders:
-In general, when spinning or wrecking, it's usually better to lock up the brakes. Please use your better judgement if this happens.
-When exiting the pits, our rule to enter on the backstretch has changed to now using iRacings pit exit/blend line/blue cone rule.
-For Watkins Glen (as with any road course) we will have one competition caution approx. half way. When the leader completes lap 20 and passes the pace car/pit exit, the yellow will be thrown.
We have a great group of racers with various speeds/talent levels. For the most part, everyone is very respectful. As with any competition, tempers may flare briefly, but there is no better place I would rather race.

UPDATE 04/18/2018: Based on the poll results and the fact that Hammer doesn't have a Richmond setup posted, we will be using iRacing's default setups starting at Richmond.
In regards to using 70% fuel, we are going to keep using it for race strategy. However, we are looking into weight transfer options to combat the low fuel and any handling issues it causes. More on that will be posted at a later date.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 04/12/2018: Congrats to Randy Armes on the Cup Series win at Texas and to Jonathan Schwartz on the Dirt Series win at Daytona.

UPDATE 04/12/2018: If we ran 100% of the real world races, 100% fuel would be used. Our races are 40-50% of real world races, so in theory, the fuel would be set accordingly.
6-7 years ago we compromised on the fuel percentage to 70%, better than 50% yet closer to full fuel for handling.
The main purpose for less fuel is to promote green flag pit stops/strategy etc. which is all about putting a complete race together. 100% fuel at some races would require only 1 stop (not gonna happen).
Regardless of which setups (Hammer's or iRacing's) we use moving forward, we will not be making changes to the actual setups (for obvious reasons), but we are always exploring options such as weight penalty to mimic the weight of full fuel etc.
We understand that not everyone will agree with everything..... that's human nature.
We appreciate all of the feedback (even if you think nobody's listening... we are).

UPDATE 02/27/2018: AMS Cup Series Competition Change: Due to the overheating issue at Atlanta, all setups used from John Hammer will be limited to 40% tape. This is a maximum limit. If the setup only has 25% tape, it will stay at 25%. But, if the tape is at 50%, it will be lowered to 40%. That is the only changes that will be made to the setups.
Also, if you are practicing the setup in test or in an iRacing practice room, your fuel will be at 100% there. While we only run 70% in our races. This will tighten the setup up some in comparison, primarily on entry and center. So keep that in mind when practicing.
Details on the Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday league practice sessions will be posted in the next few days.
Here is a link to John Hammer's setup in the forums: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3593717.page
Note: John does have 3 versions to his setup. We are using his base one. It's the original and the other two versions are there to give people using his sets in open races different options on loose to tight. This will always be the case if he has multiple, the base one will be used.
UPDATE 02/27/2018: The AMS Staff would like to apologize to all the drivers last night for the overheating issue on the setup. It was an oversight by us during testing and it was only noticed as an issue late Sunday night.
We want to also thank all of the drivers for their persistence and maturity in dealing with that adversity last night.
Due to the small time frame we had before the race to make a change, we felt it best to let it play out. As we did not want to make a change to the setup, especially with such short notice, and we did not know what the weather in the race would be like, which didn't play out in our favor. Obviously, these decisions effected the race and ended some drivers races, and again, we apologize.
In the future, more extensive testing will be done with the setups to make sure issues like this don't arise again.
This is the first time we've tried using third-party setups as our fixed setups. Again, we are doing this to give the drivers a more raceable setup. Outside of the overheating issue last night, we believe, along with comments from multiple drivers, that this was a step in that direction.
Thank you, and see you all in Las Vegas.
UPDATE 02/23/2018: Congrats to Hank Allen on winning his first AMS race, the Cup Series Daytona 250 presented by Children's Dream Racer and also Congrats to Derek Fisher on the Dirt Series win at Eldora.
Great job guys.

We had a good turnout and good racing at Daytona. Thanks to all of our great drivers.

The Atlanta setup has already been posted in the FB group and the home page here, at the top.

Keep an eye out for practice sessions each week (not mandatory).
Good Luck and Have Fun.
UPDATE 02/22/2018: AMS Cup Series Update:
A competition change is being made to the AMS Cup Series, effective immediately.
Due to the typical ill handling nature of the iRacing fixed setups, AMS staff has decided to use different setups for our races. The series will still be fixed. But we will be using John Hammer's setups off of the iRacing forums, as he plans to post one every week.
After testing Atlanta with both sets and knowing how some of the fixed setups are at other tracks, we believe this move will help provide everyone a better race environment, while still keeping the nature of a fixed series.
I've attached the setup that will be used for the Animal Rescue Foundation 200 at Atlanta this week. There is also a link to the forums where John Hammer posted this setup.
A post will be made each week with the setup by Tuesday night prior to the race, with a link to the posted setup on the forums.
Also, when testing this week, remember that we do use realistic weather, so be aware that the weather could be anything in the actual race session. The Atlanta race will also be in the late afternoon.
Thank you and good luck to all of the drivers this week.

Added:
Several times a year over the last several years this subject has come up. Many options have been brought up, but up until now, none have passed the "smell test". We wouldn't even make a slight adjustment to tire pressures or tape etc as to not give the appearance that it would benefit one of the people making the decision.
John Hammer's setups have some thought put into them unlike iRacing's default setups the last few years. He has also been very helpful to the iRacing community in general.
-He is not friends with, nor has any affiliation with AMS, its admins or as far as we know, any of our drivers.
-He will not be allowed to race in AMS races.
-We have zero input in the setups and will not make any adjustments.
-His setups will be posted on the iRacing Forums, in this section http://members.iracing.com/jforum/forums/show/6312.page and after posted there, we will post it on the league website and Facebook group.
Please don't judge this decision based on the Atlanta race, but give it a few weeks and we will definitely welcome comments/input etc.
If we find those setups to be problematic in the future, or if he stops posting them, then we can always go back to default.
Any track that we go to, if he does not have a posted setup, we will use the iRacing default setup for that track.
I'm hoping that this comment and some of the comments in the Facebook group help answer many of your questions/concerns.
Thanks
P.S. The setup will be preloaded in the league race session as always, but will be posted here and the Facebook group approx. a week early for you to download for practice.

Good Luck and have fun.
Phoenix has been known to have more cautions than other tracks. We ask that you please practice racing around other cars at Phoenix this week to help reduce the cautions next week.
Thanks
Edit to the original post.
A couple of things about last nights race:
1. When leaving the pits, under green flag, you must enter on the backstretch. Dalton was caught not doing so and was given a black flag (stop and go) penalty verbally. While not unusual to give a verbal penalty for this, it was done so in admin chat and should've been said in race chat.
He immediately served the penalty as can be seen in the replay. He did not have an iRacing black flag as can be seen in the results.
It can be viewed at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=19008024&custid=81770 towards the top left, under Race results, you can click on session events. (Any penalty given or cleared by an admin will say, Penalty cleared/given by admin (name): )
2. When a caution happens and nobody calls it, an admin will ask about it. Please leave it up to those involved to call it (or not). While it seems helpful to let us know your opinion on it, sometimes it may not be as it seems (especially if you are on track) and will be reviewed post race.
We keep track of the cautions so if someone brings out 2 cautions in a race, they will need to park it. If we have to review cautions post race and find that someone brought out a second caution, they will be scored finishing on the lap that the second caution happened.
3. Every AMS driver has, or should have read the code of conduct. If you have an issue with someone on track, a brief civil comment is fine, but no one wants to hear someone swearing or going on about an incident at length. Please be respectful to all of the drivers and wait until after the race to bring it up, or at the very least, not do that in race chat.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

***A couple updates regarding a previous post about donations. First off, Thanks to those that have made donations.
TeamSpeak is good for the next year. Again, Thank You.
Based on that previous post that said we needed about $50. to cover the remaining broadcasts: Forgetting about the $50. in the account already committed to Championship payouts, it should've said that about $100. was needed. Due to a couple donations, we are still about $70. short.
Next weeks race at Bristol is already paid for. We have about half of what's needed for the Brickyard race and still need Atlanta's broadcast (season finale) to be covered.
To those that have already contributed/donated this season, please don't feel obligated to donate.***
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL and we'll see you at Bristol.

UPDATE 11/17/2016: After further review, based on a late race issue in Monday nights Truck race at Phoenix, Dalton Baldwin is suspended for 1 Truck race and on probation for the remainder of the season.
While we do our best to make calls/decisions during races or post-race, sometimes via meetings (sometimes several) throughout the week, some calls/decisions are made a few days later based on much dialogue and/or other evidence.
Also, a few drivers were removed from the league for attempting to disparage AMS during the race/broadcast on Tuesday, among some other reasons.
A couple of them may be considered for acceptance back into the league if they apply during the off-season that starts mid January, and a couple are no longer welcomed back.
Below is a quote that we have posted multiple times on the website and Facebook group.
"One of the main goals of AMS is to have a place drivers can come to every week and have an enjoyable experience without having to put up with alot of B.S.
We have drivers of various talent levels as well as some drivers ranging from very chill to very aggressive. We DO encourage hard racing and we also understand that accidents will happen.
We also DO encourage any driver to let an admin(s) know if they are seeing issues with certain drivers or just want to voice an opinion or suggestion. This IS your league."
With that being said, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns such as rules, or why certain calls were made or not made, or ANYTHING league related, please contact an admin(s).
Admins can be reached via Facebook message, iRacing message, email or TeamSpeak. If you would like to meet with multiple admins at once, pre-race or post-race on TeamSpeak is the best time or setting up a meeting is also an option.
Thank You and we'll see you on the track,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 11/14/2016: It's getting close to that time of the year to renew our TeamSpeak server. AMS relies on donations to keep it running. Some people will donate more/less, but even a $6.00 donation equals out to less than 12 cents per week for 24/7 access.
We appreciate any help we can get.
To donate to the TS server, please follow this link. https://www.typefrag.com/billing/deposit.aspx?id=00866de2-94c6-4e6f-9b57-66de55b01eff
Also, since we switched broadcasters this season to someone reliable that shows up and does a great job, the price is of course higher, although a very fair price.
We have enough in the AMS account to cover the broadcasting of the next several races, but we still need to raise at least $135. to cover the final few races.
Any donations to help cover those costs will be very much appreciated.
To donate, please click on the Paypal "donate" button.
It cost hundreds of dollars per year (2 seasons per year) to keep AMS running, not counting broadcast costs. Every penny goes back into the league. No admin or anyone else makes a penny off of it (not counting broadcaster/iRacing/etc).
We definitely are very Thankful to those who have made donations and/or sponsorships in the past and future.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

A few notes:
-We have completed our third week of points racing and a couple drivers received the caution warning (bringing out a caution 3 weeks in a row).
-Rule 42.1 was added recently, regarding entering pit road under caution.
-For violating Rule 18, Clay Dildine received a 20 point penalty and 4 weeks probation. The reason the penalty was much lighter than a suspension(s) is because it backfired on him as his car was wrecked early because of it and no one else was involved in the incident, and since some drivers may not be aware of this rule, it gives everyone notice about it.
Moving forward, NO substitute drivers are allowed during any AMS league race.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

Some of the cautions appeared to have a slight netcode affect when cars were side by side or side drafting. Something to keep in mind for these longer races at Daytona.
Please keep in mind the caution rules: 2nd caused caution will require you to park it. Also, if you bring out at least 1 caution per week (Truck/Cup) 3 weeks in a row that you race, you will be given a warning.
Cautions are inevitable, but we all would like to have alot more long green flag runs this season.
Again, Thanks to everyone that showed up to the Shootouts and we look forward to a great 2016B season.
UPDATE 08/02/2016: Next up: OUR 23RD SEASON - 10TH SEASON on iRacing: 2016 Season #2 (2016B) will start Aug. 15th - 17th with the Shootouts (non-points). The first week of points racing starts with the Daytona races Aug. 22nd - 24th.

Good Luck to All.
Thanks to Kennan Miller (Reid Super-Save Market) for sponsoring extended practice for all 3 series'.
Just a reminder that AMS has continued its partnership with Digital Forge Broadcasting Network to broadcast live, The Children's Dream Racer Cup Series races every Tuesday. Other series' races may be added.
We do expect all AMS drivers to at least check out the rules page on the website. You will not be quizzed on these. The rules have been added/updated/etc. over the past 7 or 8 years and even the admins at times need to go to the page to reference some rules.
A few rules of note:
-6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night. (Only 43 drivers per race gets points)
-12. No promoting other leagues or politics during a race, in race chat (including paint scheme).
-27. Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch.
-32. Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution/pacing!
-36.2. If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension.
-40. If you're the cause of a second caution in a race, you will be parked.
-41. If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race or even in a single race, you will be given a warning and further action may be taken!
-56. All AMS league races will be run under the league section (league sessions) of iRacing.
-On starts/restarts, the leader of the race has the choice of going anytime between when the pace car pulls off and green flag.
Most answers to questions can be found on this website or if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact an admin, join our TeamSpeak server or post in the Facebook group.
And last but Not least, we have a few new drivers this season and we would like to WELCOME you all to AMS and WELCOME back to all existing AMS drivers.
Let's have a Great season and we will see you all on the track soon.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 07/05/2016: Hi all,
A couple updates:
Starting next season, 2016B, since our races are at the beginning of the week, we will be pushing back our races by 1 week (mostly Truck and Cup) to give everyone more on-track time at that track before our league races. Basically how our next weeks season finale races at Kentucky are.
Links to next seasons schedules can be found here http://www.amsleague.com/2016-season-info.html
We will also be freeing up some single and double digit car numbers over the next couple of weeks. If you haven't participated in an AMS race since before April, and you have a single or double digit car number, we will be giving you a 3 digit placeholder number.
If this pertains to you and you DO plan on racing with us next season, please contact [email protected] If you do have a 3 digit placeholder number, you will still be able to race next season, we will then get you in a single or double digit number. Your numbers can be found here http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27
We will also be thinning out the league members section at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 by removing any driver that has not participated in any AMS races over the past 2 seasons (2015B and 2016A). Again, if this pertains to you and you DO plan on racing next season (starts August) please contact [email protected]
If you are removed and then decide that you would like to race at AMS, just contact us and we can add you back.
We look forward to racing with you all next season (and of course those that are still racing this season).
Thanks,
AMS Staff

THANKS to all of the drivers that have stepped up and helped reduce the caution count. Over the last 2 weeks, we have averaged about 5 cautions per race (not counting Sonoma). That is a huge improvement on the caution count. Again, THANK YOU.
UPDATE 06/24/2016: Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win at Gateway and to Ryan Cobb on his dominating win in the Cup Series race at Sonoma and to Kennan Miller on his dominating win in the IndyCar Series race at Road America.

Dylan Landry has been suspended 1 Truck race for violation of rule 36.2. "If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension."
Also, 2 drivers received the caution warning, meaning that if they bring out 1 caution over the next few races, they will have to park it.
We've had some great racing this past week with only 5 cautions (huge improvement over last week) at Gateway. Great job to everyone.
UPDATE 06/17/2016: ***Special announcement below***
Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win and to Thomas Conheady on the Cup Series win, both at Iowa.
Good job guys.
Next up: June 20th - June 22nd : Gateway/Sonoma/Road America
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Chase race #3 - Gateway 120 (night)
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Chase race #3 - Sonoma 70 (35 laps) - Broadcasted Live

Good Luck to All.
***Effective immediately, rule #40 has been changed to "If you're the cause of a SECOND caution in 1 race, you will be parked or removed from the race." (previously it was 3 cautions)
rule #41 may be re-written, but basically this is how it goes: If you bring out at least 1 caution per week (Truck and/or Cup) for 3 consecutive weeks that you race, you will be given a warning that if you bring out a caution in the next few races, you will be parked.
Since cautions are off at road courses (Sonoma), except our mid race competition caution, this could be carried over to the following week.
If you have brought out at least 1 caution each week over the last 2 weeks, (and there are some), you may want to avoid bringing out a caution. Also, if you have brought out a caution last week, you may want to be careful about bringing out more cautions.
We understand that there will be cautions, and we all have/will bring out a caution at some point, but there is a difference with those constantly bringing out cautions and those that bring out just a handful of cautions per season.
We enjoy and appreciate racing with everyone each week and we hope these rules will drastically reduce the amount of cautions we are having.
Thank You in advance for your cooperation.
UPDATE 06/10/2016: Congrats to Lance Carpenter on his first AMS win, the Truck Series race at Texas, and also, Congrats to Glen Murphy Jr. on the Cup Series win at Michigan and Kevin Troczynski on the IndyCar win at Texas.

Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Chase race #1 - Texas 110
Good Luck to All.
As of this writing, there is not yet a written rule re: the controversial final restart at the Pocono Cup race.
Moving forward, a restart like that, just like intentionally self spinning to bring out a caution will be considered cheating (as it is on iRacing and real world racing series') and will be dealt with accordingly.
A little respect goes a long way just as a little disrespect can also.
Most of us all race with each other on a weekly basis and 99% of the time everything is fine overall. It's racing... incidents happen (always have/always will), but as far as cheating, hopefully we won't have to deal with that moving forward.
Thanks,
AMS Staff

Philip Nease has been put on a 1 Cup race suspension. Violation of rules 1.1, 32 and 36.2
One thing that we have been very firm on over the years is no intentional wrecking someone under caution. While we do not condone intentional wrecking anytime, doing so under caution/pacing is a guaranteed 1 race suspension.

Violation of the code of conduct and rules 1.1 and 4 and 11.

Good Luck to All.
Although we know that Martinsville can bring out the best and worst of drivers, thankfully that's in our mirror.
A few penalties given out:
As per the rules (32 & 36.2), Craig Embree and Lance Carpenter have been suspended for 1 Cup race due to intentionally wrecking another driver under caution/pacing. A second violation of that rule this season will be a much harsher penalty.
Although we had way too much wrecking under green, We DO NOT tolerate wrecking under caution/pacing.
Daniel Bowman has been suspended for 2 weeks for a couple of reasons. violations of rule 41, continuing to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race... and rule 1.1, and violation of our 'Boys Have At It' Policy (bottom of rules page). He did receive multiple warnings before we acted.
One of the main goals of AMS is to have a place drivers can come to every week and have an enjoyable experience without having to put up with alot of B.S.
We have drivers of various talent levels as well as some drivers ranging from very chill to very aggressive. We DO encourage hard racing and we also understand that accidents will happen.
We also DO encourage any driver to let an admin(s) know if they are seeing issues with certain drivers or just want to voice an opinion or suggestion. This IS your league.
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/30/2016: The points have been updated as of now. After reviewing the replays later today, penalties may be accessed.
Since we had to start another session because of the pace car glitch, the 5 drivers that did not start the second session were awarded points, including Will Jones getting credited with the pole and leading laps. Any driver that legitimately led a lap in the first session was also credited with that.
Since Kennan was in the first session, and could have/may have run laps if it wasn't cut short, he was allowed to start the second session. His "penalty" reflects the lack of laps from the first session.
Although DanLisa is a good scoring program, it has more limitations than RPM had (as far as adjusting finishing positions and other things).
If someone feels that the results/points are not accurate or if you have any questions about them, please let me know. Again, penalties may be accessed after reviewing the replays later today, ie; clearly causing at least 3 cautions or intentional contact under yellow.
As per the rules (32 & 36.2), Craig Embree has been suspended for 1 Cup race due to intentionally wrecking another driver under caution/pacing. A second violation of that rule this season will be a much harsher penalty.
Although we had way too much wrecking under green last night, We DO NOT tolerate wrecking under caution/pacing.
UPDATE 03/25/2016: Congrats to Cameron Hearn on the Truck Series win at Mosport (CTMP) and to Stewart Joyce on the IndyCar Series win at Gateway.

Since we had to move the Cup sessions by 15 minutes, we have decided to make it universal with ALL 3 series sessions starting at 7:45 pm ET with qualifying at 9:35pm ET.
We apologize if this slight time change will cause any problems with you.
******From here on out, ALL race sessions will open at 7:45pm ET under "league sessions". While we aren't sure how many plan to race, it is better to sign in to the session as early as possible to guarantee a spot in the race - first come, first serve.******
Finally, we are having to clear WAY TOO MANY black flags under cautions/on restarts. Everyone will need to work together to tighten up the field under caution/on restarts and get in your proper place (it tells you right in the middle of your monitor who to pass/let by/etc). As per rule 33.1, you can be given a black flag if you are not paying attention as to where you should be, and others get a black flag because of it.
We had a good week at Daytona and look forward to racing with everyone each week.
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 02/15/2016: LEAGUE ANNOUNCEMENT:
(Please Read.)
Qualifying Rooms to be hosted in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION.
...
This week's, and possibly more, races in the AMS Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series and Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series are going to have qualifying rooms to help facilitate the amount of drivers we currently have.
TAKE NOTE:
- Qualifying rooms, and likely the race, will be in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION.
- 2 qualifying rooms will open at 7:25pm ET for practice. (Admins will be present in both rooms.)
- Qualifying will still start at it's normal time of 9:20pm ET.
- After the 5 minute qualifying session, the race room will be sorted and put up within 10-15 minutes.
- The top 43 qualifiers will make the race.
- The race room will have approx. 10 minutes of practice for everyone to join.
- After that, the race will begin and run as usual.
Qualifying Rooms to be hosted in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION. NOT in league sessions.
This is to help facilitate and handle the high amount of drivers we currently have wanting to race in the league; and give each of those drivers a fair opportunity to make the race.
Qualifying rooms will be used in both the AMS Truck and Cup series until further notice. If the amount of drivers showing up reasonably lowers below 43, we will go back to not having qualifying rooms.
You only need to join 1 of the practice/qualifying sessions. If you plan on practicing with teammates etc., you may want to message them to let them know what session you will be joining. Good Luck.
Thank you all,
from the AMS Staff.
EDIT: If LESS than 43 drivers record a qualifying time:
In the event any drivers do not record a qualifying time, they will be placed as follows:
- For the first 3 races, drivers with no Q time will be ordered by last season's points standings, and then by practice times.
- After the first 3 races, drivers with no Q time will be ordered by this season's points standings, with practice times being a tie breaker.
There will be NO guaranteed spots for any drivers. Top 43 qualifiers, straight up.
UPDATE 02/11/2016: Thanks to everyone that showed up to The Shootouts. Congrats to the winners, Chris Ostrander - Truck, David Bradford - Cup, Dan Lee Ensch - IndyCar.
Great job guys.
Now that they are out of the way, the official 2016A season starts Monday. All AMS race sessions OPEN at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET. Truck & Cup Sessions will fill up early.
Next up: February 15th - 17th: Daytona
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Shake & Bake 85 (night) - $3.00 to the winner, $3 to 2nd, $2 to 3rd, $1 to 4th - 5th.
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Shake & Bake 250 (100 laps, day) - $5.00 to the winner, $5 to 2nd, $4 to 3rd, $3 to 4th, $2 to 5th, $1 to 6th - 10th. Also, Nine Three Productions will add $3. for highest finishing driver with 0 incidents.

Good Luck and have fun.
AMS is a free to race league that depends on donations and race/series sponsorships (which are also donations). We would like to again THANK all of those that have donated to the league.
Starting Tuesday, Feb. 23rd (Atlanta), all Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races will be broadcasted live.
More info on sponsored races can be found here.
At AMS, we use iRacing default setups for that track. IF iRacing doesn't have a setup for a particular track, we've usually found a default setup for another track that works well (possible gear change). For the IndyCar race at Daytona we will be using the default Auto Club setup which is much more stable than the Shootout setup we used.
Again, we would like to WELCOME all of the new drivers this season and WELCOME BACK to existing AMS drivers.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
P.S. If we decide to do duel style qualifying races or even separate qualifying sessions, we will update this post, create a new one, email, iRacing message, etc. to get the word out.
UPDATE 02/08/2016: Tonight starts the season opening Shootouts for Season 2016A. All AMS race sessions open at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET.
All AMS drivers are eligible to race in the Shootouts. As we are not aware of how many drivers plan to race, it is first come, first serve (43 slots).
The following week will be our first points races of the season and if we feel that more than 43 drivers plan to run the Daytona Cup race, we MAY do Duels style qualifying races. More info on that will be posted in next weeks weekly update.
Other than possibly doing duel races for the Feb. 16th Cup Race at Daytona, ALL other AMS races will be first come/first serve.
Next up: February 8th - 10th: Shootouts at Daytona
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Shootout 50 (day)
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Shootout 50 (night)
Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Shootout 50 (day)
Good Luck and have fun.
UPDATE 02/02/2016: We are less than a week away from the season opening Shootouts for Season 2016A. All AMS race sessions open at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET.
All AMS drivers are eligible to race in the Shootouts. As we are not aware of how many drivers plan to race, it is first come, first serve (43 slots).
The following week will be our first points races of the season and if we feel that more than 43 drivers plan to run the Daytona Cup race, we MAY do Duels style qualifying races. More info on that will be posted in next weeks weekly update.

Good Luck and have fun.
Just a reminder that AMS has partnered with Digital Forge Broadcasting Network to broadcast live, The Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races every Tuesday beginning February 23, 2016. Other series' races may be added. If a race is to be broadcasted, it will be reflected on the schedule(s). The links to all series' schedules can be found all over the place on this website. * At least 2 races in the Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series will also be broadcasted live - The Indianapolis 200 on May 25th and The Season Finale Kentucky 110 on July 13th.
We do expect all AMS drivers to at least check out the rules page on the website. You will not be quizzed on these. The rules have been added/updated/etc. over the past 7 or 8 years and even the admins at times need to go to the page to reference some rules.
A few rules of note:
-6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night. (Only 43 drivers per race gets points)
-27. Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch. (no more pulling right on the track at pit exit or drivers WILL be penalized.)
-32. Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution/pacing!
-36.2. If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension.
-40. If you're the cause of a third caution in a race, you will be parked/removed from the race.
-41. If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race or even in a single race, you will be subject to a League hearing and further action may be taken!
-56. All AMS league races will be run under the league section (league sessions) of iRacing.
-On starts/restarts, the leader of the race has the choice of going anytime between when the pace car pulls off and green flag.
Most answers to questions can be found on this website or if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact an admin, join our TeamSpeak server or post in the Facebook group.
And last but Not least, we have several new drivers this season and we would like to WELCOME you all to AMS and WELCOME back to all existing AMS drivers.
Let's have a Great season and we will see you all on the track.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

Again, until RPM gets their stuff together and gets back up and running, our points/standings will be here http://www.danlisa.com/scoring/league_series.php?league_id=682
Thanks
UPDATE 12/16/2015: I just spent the last few hours getting our points/standings done. All points/standings are accurate with the exception of provisionals.
I don't have the list of provisionals since RPM is still down. To my knowledge, no provisionals have been called since the chase(s) began, so those points are accurate.
Because of the lack of provisionals in the regular season, if you KNOW that you should be in the chase in 1 or more series, or if you are in the chase and KNOW that you shouldn't be, please contact me so I can fix it.
If/when RPM comes back online, our points/standings will be completely accurate including provisionals. Either way, moving forward, I will make sure that I have a backup provisional list so this doesn't happen in the future.
You can get access to this link via the large calendar on the league homepage. http://www.danlisa.com/scoring/league_series.php?league_id=682
UPDATE 12/11/2015: ***Due to iRacing issues, last Tuesdays scheduled Cup race at Michigan has been re-scheduled to Monday 12/28/2015.***
Even though Race Points Manager is still "working on it", we are hopeful they will be back up and running soon. Although the admins can go back and figure out the points manually/all 3 series (and at least get up to date points, especially on the chase drivers), it would be a grueling process, and we will do that if RPM is not back up and running in the next couple weeks.
In the meantime, the schedule has always been on the website http://www.amsleague.com/2015-season-info.html
Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win at Michigan.
Good job.

UPDATE 11/24/2015: I have freed up some numbers.

With the new surface model (NSM) still being new to us, we want to find a happy medium on what % to start our race sessions.
The IndyCar race session at Richmond was started on a green track, and while it did rubber up some throughout the race, we are considering starting our next race session at around 25% rubbered in.
After a few more days of experimenting, we should have a better understanding of the NSM.
If we decide against 25%, we will update this thread with the % that will be used.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
P.S. Input for the NSM or anything else is always welcome by all AMS drivers.
UPDATE 09/03/2015: *** As long as the new build is released on Tuesday, we will delay our Cup Series race session by 30 minutes to give everyone extra time to download/install the new build. It will open at 9:30pm ET instead of 9:00pm ET.
We will host at least 1 practice/test session around 6 or 7:00pm ET (participation is optional)
If the new build is delayed, and doesn't get released on Tuesday, we will open the session at the regular time, 9:00pm ET. ***
All future updates re: the new build etc. will be updated on the Facebook group.
UPDATE 09/03/2015: We had some really great racing this past week.
Congrats to Kevin Scholefield on his first wins at AMS, Charlotte in the Truck Series and Watkins Glen in the IndyCar Series. Also, Congrats to Craig Embree on the Cup Series win at Darlington.
Great job guys.
Next up: September 7th - 9th: Richmond Night Racing
Monday - Truck Series - OFF - Labor Day
Tuesday - Cup Series - Richmond 160 (160 laps) night
Wednesday - IndyCar Series - Richmond 135 (night)
Good Luck to All
The new build usually comes out on Tuesday of week 13.
PLEASE give yourself plenty of time to download/install the update.
If the new build does come out on Tuesday, Tuesday nights AMS Cup Series race will be our first race with dynamic track surface and dynamic weather together in the same race.
We will probably host a shortened practice/test race around 6 or 7pm ET to feel things out.
UPDATE 08/28/2015: We had some great racing at Mosport (CTMP) and Pocono. Although we don't say it enough on race nights, we DO appreciate everyone that shows up to race. We have a Great group of racers.
Congrats to Scott Tucker on his first points win at AMS, Pocono in the IndyCar Series. Also, Congrats to Craig Embree on the Road Course win at Mosport in the Truck Series.
Nice win guys.

Also, reminder of rule #6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night.
UPDATE 08/25/2015: In light of recent developments, Wednesday nights IndyCar Race has been renamed, The Justin Wilson Memorial 60.
UPDATE 08/24/2015: At the time of this posting, IndyCar driver Justin Wilson is in a coma in critical condition. Our thoughts/prayers go out to him and his family.
As a goodwill gesture, one of our drivers has sponsored this weeks AMS Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series race at Pocono and renamed it The Justin Wilson 60. There will be a payout of $5.00 to the winner and $3.00 to second place.
UPDATE 08/19/2015: Bristol was predictively very eventful. A rough Truck race and a rough first half of the Cup race. The second 100 laps of the Cup race went caution free and was even a fuel mileage race. It was fun for some and not so much for others, but we move on.
Again, everyone is still easily in the hunt for the Chase.
Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win and to Jeff (Stewart) Joyce on the Cup Series win, both at Bristol.
Great job guys.
Next up: August 24th - August 26th: Mosport/Pocono
Monday - Truck Series - Mosport 35

Wednesday - IndyCar Series - Pocono 60
Good Luck to All
UPDATE 08/13/2015: Thanks to everyone that showed up to the Daytona races. We had a great 100 lap Cup race, with just 1 caution. The IndyCar and Truck races had a few more cautions than we would like to see, but we're sure that will improve drastically over the next couple weeks.
Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Cup Series win and to Tim Matthews on the Truck Series win and to Jeff (Stewart) Joyce on the IndyCar Series win, all at Daytona.
Great job guys.

Attn. new drivers, all drivers need to have a 1 or 2 digit number. The best way to pick a number is to go to the members list at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 and see if your number is available, or pick a different one. It must be a 1 or 2 digit number. The drivers on the list that have 3 digits are drivers that haven't raced with us in over a season or drivers that have yet to pick or be assigned a number.
All league races will be run under "league sessions" on iRacing.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks, AMS Staff

Starting next week, August 10th, all AMS races will be run through the league section on iRacing.
ALL NEW DRIVERS: Please make sure that you are registered on the RACE Points Manager site http://www.racepointsmanager.com/pm4/league/1687/register and with the league on iRacing. http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27
Many are all set, but there are a few that are registered on one and not the other.
We are slowly getting everyone in their requested car number, if available. If you have a triple digit number next to your name at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 we need to get you into a single or double digit number.
-All drivers are welcome to jump in the Teamspeak server AMS-SA.typefrag.com
-All drivers are required to familiarize yourself with the rules. You will not be quizzed on these. After 8 years, even admins have to reference the page on occasion.
Some rules of note:
6.- Provisionals.
20.- You MUST use a wheel.
27.- Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch. (no more pulling right on the track at pit exit or drivers WILL be penalized.)
32. & 36.2 - Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution!
40.& 41.- Causing cautions.
-Teams: If you have a team and would like it added to the team page, please send info (logo, drivers, sponsors etc) to [email protected] and if you have a team with 2 or more drivers competing on a regular basis, we can add a Teamspeak room for your team.
We'd like to see more drivers in each series. It's your league, so if you have friends or just notice some clean racers, feel free to invite them to race with us this season.
We are not a Rookie league, nor are we a Pro/DWC league - therefore the vast majority of iRacers are eligible to race at AMS.
Again, welcome to Season 2015B and we hope everyone has a GREAT season
Thank You,

Kennan Miller and Thomas Conheady are on league probation for 2 weeks for violating rule 1.1. Actions detrimental to AMS, its staff, and/or its members.
While AMS does have a "boys have at it" philosophy, our definition of that is (if you so choose) - race drivers the way they race you, race drivers the way you want to be raced.
Intentionally wrecking someone, affecting the outcome of the race / causing others to be involved is not in the spirit of that philosophy.
We encourage clean racing, but understand that accidents will happen.
The issues with Kennan (Bristol) and Thomas (Talladega) were not accidents.
UPDATE 04/24/2015: Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win and the Cup Series win, and to Fred Scarfi on the IndyCar Series win, all at Richmond.

Good Luck to All
We would like to thank Hoyt Smith for sponsoring the first half of the season in the Cup Series. We are currently looking for sponsorship for the second half of the season which starts now.
Although we are in our 7th season of running the Cup Series on Thursday nights, we have alot of competition with other leagues that run on Thursdays and our biggest competion (we feel) is the Thursday NIS race.
We would like to hear from AMS drivers via the poll to see if changing to Mondays would allow for more drivers to compete in the Cup Series.
We feel that Tuesdays is perfect for the Truck Series and Wednesdays is fine for our mid-week fun series, the IndyCar Series.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

Although it costs hundreds of dollars a year to keep AMS up and running (not including race payouts), we continue to be a free to race league. NO DRIVER IS EVER REQUIRED OR EXPECTED TO PAY ANYTHING TO RACE AT AMS.
With that being said, donations are always accepted (via link on homepage) and we also have several races available for sponsorship.
To those of you that have donated, sponsored series and/or races, we Thank You and appreciate your generosity.
http://www.amsleague.com/sponsored-racespromos.html
We DEFINATELY APPRECIATE all of the drivers that show up and have raced with us.
If you know of anyone looking to race in a league or maybe talk some friends into trying league racing, feel free to send them our way. We generally accept new drivers throughout the regular season and on a case by case basis once the chase starts.
It doesn't cost AMS any more, whether we have 10 drivers or 50 drivers, plus most drivers would like to race with bigger fields.
Again, if you have any questions/comments/suggestions, you may contact an admin directly or [email protected]
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/16/2015: ATTN: All AMS league drivers,

Remember that at AMS, triple digit car numbers are not allowed. So if your car number is showing a triple digit number, that will need to be corrected.

We had some great racing at Las Vegas and look forward to a great week at Phoenix.
Please keep in mind that we do not tolerate any messing around/contact under caution/pacing. There were a couple of issues during the Truck race and this will serve as a reminder to familiarize yourself with rules 32, 36, 36.1 and 36.2.
Also, we have a poll on the Facebook Group re: when we should start running the new Trucks. Right now the majority is leaning towards the March 17th Pocono race about 1 week after the new Trucks are released.
As always, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact an admin.
Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 02/27/2015: Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win and to Stewart (Jeff) Joyce on the Cup Series win, both at Atlanta.
We had some good racing at Atlanta and we also had some not so good racing. The Truck race had 10 cautions (too many) while the Cup race had 4.
While none of the drivers at AMS are Pros, we are also not rookies. Car control is one of the biggest things we expect of our drivers. You can't win it early, but you sure can lose it or cause others to lose it.
While we do NOT tolerate drivers intentionally bringing out cautions, we also have rules in place for drivers that bring out too many cautions.
Cautions/wrecks WILL happen. It's just part of hard racing, but we can all do our part to help reduce them.
With that being said, As we get more familiar racing around each other, the races will get cleaner with longer green flag runs and even races going caution free.
Next up: March 3rd - 5th: Las Vegas
Tuesday - Truck Series - Fusion Racing Network 110 - $3.00 to the winner.
Wednesday - IndyCar Series - Las Vegas 110
Thursday - Cup Series - Stewart-Joyce Racing 188 (125 laps) - $5.00 to the winner.

- ALL Series will be fixed setups with 70% fuel
- All sessions will open at 9:00pm ET with qualifying at 9:20pm ET (please note that the Daytona Cup race on Thurs. Feb. 19th will be delayed by 30 minutes due to the Budweiser Duels on TV)
We realize that we have a short off-season. We shortened the schedule the last 2 seasons so we can always start our first season of the year to coincide with the start of the NASCAR Season. Following this coming season, we will have an approx. 1 month off-season between seasons.

It's getting to be that time of the year to renew our TeamSpeak Server. We have decided to keep Typefrag as the server based on excellent reliability. There are some servers out there that cost less/more, but it's not worth saving literally a few dollars to deal with the frustrations of downtime and unreliable service.
Although our TeamSpeak Server is available free to all AMS drivers to use at anytime, we do depend on donations to keep it up and running.
You can go here link disabled to donate any dollar amount. We Thank You in advance for your support.

This coming Wednesday, Stewart (Jeff) Joyce will be hosting a fun, pre-Turkey Day race that all are invited to participate in. Time/track/car will be announced soon.
And finally, based on a few incidents/violations (including, but not limited to again, intentionally or appearing intentionally bringing out a late race caution/single car spin while being several laps down) in Wednesday nights IndyCar race at Iowa, Rule 1.1 along with 32 & 41, Greg Elliott is suspended from the IndyCar Series for the remainder of the season.
Since Greg is still on probation, any other violations in the forseeable future will be grounds for removal of all AMS events.
Some drivers will understand this ruling while others may not. These decisions ARE NOT made easily. This ruling has been discussed by all admins in the past and was made for the betterment of the league/races.
As a reminder, Under NO condition should rulings or appeals be tried/argued on the Facebook Group.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 01/17/2014: Ams League
Following last nights AMS Cup Series Firecracker 225 at Daytona International Speedway, Ryan Cobb, driver of the #51, will be suspended for one AMS Cup Series race and put on probation for the remainder of the 2013B season for violating rules #36.1, #32 and #1.1. The suspended race will be the Childrens Dream Racer 175 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
#36.1: If you spin a car out under caution, you will serve a Five lap penalty and/or a larger penalty...
#32: Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution.
#1.1: Actions detrimental to AMS, its staff, and/or its members.
Marvin Turnmire Jr., driver of the #16, is being given a warning for violating rules #36 and #32. Since it was an accidental incident under caution, it is merely a warning and a reminder to all drivers to be careful under caution.
#36: If you make contact under caution with another car and it's a bump/hit or nudge, you MAY serve a one lap penalty.
#32: Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution.
*In the past, when intentional wrecking under caution has happened, the penalized driver has received a 1 race suspension on top of the 5 lap penalty. We have given this to other drivers in the past who have done the same and are just being consistent with our past penalties.
Just a reminder that AMS does not tolerate intentional wrecking under caution/pace laps. We understand that you may get frustrated at another driver(s) at times, but under yellow is not the time to take out those frustrations.
UPDATE 01/17/2014: Ams League We have a new Teamspeak server that has been implemented for the next year and beyond. We will be sharing this server with Speed Affair to keep costs down for both leagues. All AMS drivers are welcome to use it anytime for FREE. Donations are always accepted, but NOT required.
The new Teamspeak address is: AMS-SA.typefrag.com
Any appeal to an admin decision should be sent to an admin via message on Facebook and in turn will be forwarded to the rest of the admins for consideration.
Under NO condition should appeals be tried/argued on the Facebook Group.

UPDATE 01/15/2014: Since our Truck race several months ago at Chicagoland, most of our races have been pretty civil.
Please keep in mind rule #4-We understand that incidents in races can become heated and tempers will flare a bit and voicing your displeasure with someone
over the radio to a minimal extent is okay but No name calling or degrading of any kind will be allowed. Once the topic has been brought up once leave it at that.
And also the AMS Code of Conduct- http://www.amsleague.com/code-of-conduct.html
On another subject: At the end of last evenings race at Talladega, Greg Elliott has been suspended 1 Truck race and has been put on probation for the rest of the season. Rule 1.1 was broken by Greg for an intentional wreck to bring out a caution.
Thanks AMS STAFF

UPDATE 09/10/2013: Ams League
After reviewing the replay of tonight's AMS Truck Series 120 at Chicagoland Speedway, we have determined penalties resulting from an incident occuring on lap 90 between #19 Justin Page and #01 Brent Nicholls. The incident saw Page appear to drive slow and turn up the track with intentions to wreck Nicholls. The two wrecked and afterwards, under the caution period, Nicholls drove his truck into Page's, causing more damage to both trucks and spinning himself out.
Penalties Issued:
#19 Justin Page
1 Week Probation...
#01 Brent Nicholls
1 Week Probation
5 Lap Penalty - Rule #36 (Issued to the final results of tonight's race.)
#05 Robert Peters
1 Week Probation - Rule #32
Also, we'd like to remind people to try to remain calm and be careful with your language during the race, especially if the language is towards another driver. We're all adults and we can all be mature in the race room. If bad language and/or name calling continues and becomes a habit of a driver, we will be forced to levy penalties on them.
Thanks and Good Luck, AMS Staff
Also:Chris Ostrander
My personal thoughts re: last nights Truck Race at Chicagoland. I know myself along with others were embarrassed/disappointed at how the race turned out (almost 50% ran under caution).
Some of us knew going into the race that there will probably be a few more cautions than normal based on iRacings new (loose) Truck setups. Many (not all) of the cautions were due to lack of car control because of this. All of us got loose at times, but many of us were shocked at how many cautions there were at a 1.5 mile track. In the past, Martinsville was the track where we would see more than the usual amount of cautions due to the unique driving style that some drivers have yet to fully adapt to, but a mile and a half track with that many cautions was totally not expected.
Although we are a mature league (all adults), the excessive swearing and bickering back and forth definately went overboard. An occasional swear word is not going to
offend most of us and briefly discussing (if necessary) an incident you have with another driver is fine, but then drop it, and if you feel that more discussion is necessary, please wait until after the race to continue your discussion.
In closing, I would just like to suggest that with these new Truck setups, the more
practice the better going into future races. Also, I, along with AMS would like to apologize to those that had to deal with all of the issues that you had to deal with and moving forward, hopefully we can put this race behind us and move forward with much better racing. Thank You.
Also: Dalton Baldwin
Just to add to that, the trucks are notorious for having loose fixed setups. Some
worse than others. iRacing's season 3 setup for Chicagoland was undoubtably very
loose. I have yet to try the Las Vegas set, but I would not be surprised, seeing as they're similar tracks, if it is as loose as last nights.
To try to help people keep the trucks under control (self spins, etc.) a trick/secret I learned from Byron Daley: When you go into the turn, lift off the gas, but only to about half way. DO NOT lift completely off the throttle. Just back off to half way or wherever you feel comfortable. DO NOT get back to full throttle until the the exit off the turn and you are on the straightaway.
(Honestly, don't even start applying more throttle until you're out of the turn.) Getting back to full throttle as soon as possible is something that just takes practice and experience, and varies from track to track.
In short - Turn in - Let off the gas to half throttle - HOLD at HALF throttle through the turn - At the exit, SLOWLY get back into the throttle. - Once on the straightaway, full throttle.
I'm not sure how many know about driving it this way, but if some don't and are
having problems, this is a good piece of info to try.
Also, this mainly only applies to loose truck setups like the one last night. But it
is almost always a good technique and starting point to drive a truck at a 1.5 - 2 mile track.
AMS would like to announce an affiliate league - SpeedAffair - which will be running a Fixed Setup Gen-6 Series late Sunday nights. This gives us all another option in league racing. Although SpeedAffair is an affiliate league, they do have their own rules/procedures. Please visit http://www.speedaffair.com for more info.

We will be holding our first tryout race of the season this Friday 8pm ET at Michigan in the Trucks.
AMS is officially announcing that there will be NO league fee for next season - 2013 Season #2. (2013b)
Several members have committed to sponsoring races throughout the season (which means that there WILL be payouts for those races).
We will be continuously looking for sponsors and there is also a "donate" button on the leagues homepage http://www.amsleague.com/ where you can specify what race you would like to sponsor. When nothing is specified, we will use some to have payouts for more races and set some aside towards the Championships.
This decision was mainly made for two reasons, 1) most drivers aren't racing for the money (although it is a nice bonus for winning), and 2) we could get some more good drivers that normally wouldn't join a fee to race league.
We will re-evaluate the fee/no fee issue again before 2014 Season #1.
Again, if you know of any clean racers looking for a great league to run in, point them in our direction. We will also be holding more tryout races throughout the next
few weeks.

UPDATE 01/10/2013: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/2468583.page The following only pertains to our Thursday Cup Series.(2013 Season #1)
The new Chevy SS class A Cup car (G6) is scheduled to be released by iRacing in early March. AFTER it is released, we (league drivers) will vote to see if/when we want to start using it.
We of course will start the season in the same class A Cup car that we currently use, but since our season doesn't end until August, many drivers will probably want to use the "new" car before that.
As far as the new Ford Cup car, iRacing is still working on a development project to hopefully enable hosted/leagues to use both in the same race (not multi-class and so everyone can see both if you only own one).
We will keep everyone up to date as we know more (hopefully by early March). Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 01/06/2013: We will be hosting our next tryout race for next season this Friday 01/11/2013 at 9:00pm ET at Charlotte in the Cup cars.
UPDATE 12/30/2012: Enrollment for new drivers for next season (2013 Season #1) is now open. 2013 Season #1 starts in February. There will be payouts in every Cup and Truck race.
$10.00 league fee covers all 63 races. (Cup, Truck and National Series)
You may race in as many or as few races as you would like. Some drivers choose 1 or 2 series to run full time and pick and choose races in the other series(s). Some drivers attempt to race all 3 series full time....it's your choice. For more info on next season, click here.
We will be holding tryout races starting this Friday 01/04/2013. Fridays race will be at Atlanta in the Trucks at 9:00pm ET.
If you cannot make the tryout races, you may contact us [email protected] or http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 and let us know so that we can spectate a couple of your races.
We are looking for clean racers that are willing to follow the rules. Speed (fast or slow) is not an issue as long as you are a clean racer.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 12/29/2012: Due to popular demand, for 2013 Season #1 we will be replacing the Nationwide Series with the National Series (more short tracks).
UPDATE 12/25/2012: MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS - From AMS Staff
2013 Season #1 will be starting in February. If you know of anyone interested in joining AMS, please let them know.
We are not a "rookie" league, nor are we a "Pro Series" league. With that being said,(for potential new drivers), anyone with a Class A or B license, 1700+ irating and less than an average of 4 IPR will probably be accepted rather quickly. On the other end of the spectrum, Pro Series drivers or drivers with 5000+ irating.... well, staff will vote on that, just as we will with all potential new drivers.
We will be holding tryout races throughout January (days & times TBD). Any driver regardless of class or irating will be allowed to tryout. We may request some drivers to participate in more than 1 tryout race to make sure that we are comfortable with them and them with us.
The above info is for potential new drivers only. Of course ALL existing AMS drivers are all welcome back and encouraged to join 2013 Season #1.
Most info for next season is here: http://www.anarchymotorsportsserver.com/next-season.html
Other than the schedule, the only major change for 2013 Season #1 are the new starting times. The rooms will open at 9:00pm ET and qualifying will begin at 9:20pm ET. This was voted by popular demand via the poll that has been on the website for 3 months. By starting the races 1 hour earlier, may also enable more potential new drivers to join.
This announcement may seem a little early, but there is not alot of time between the end of this season and the start of next season.
Thank You for taking the time to read this. AMS Staff
UPDATE 12/19/2012: Ams League
Again, we would like to thank a benefactor - Brent Nicholls for paying for our 2 hour hosted sessions for all 63 races for 2013 Season #1 just as he did for 2012 Season #2. Thanks Brent
UPDATE 12/18/2012: Ams League
Due to iRacing having technical issues, we have been forced to cancel and reschedule our AMS Truck Series Talladega 85 to January 1st. We know that it will now be on New Year's Day, however we wanted to keep the race on a Tuesday, and that was the only open Tuesday other than Christmas Day for the rest of the season. We apologize for the inconvenience this poses to anyone. We have a list of people that were present for the original date, anyone who can not make the rescheduled date will be given a provisional that does not count against the ones they were originally given for the season.
We try to make sure when things like this happen that people are not inconvenienced from it. Unfortunately, this time it seems that people will be affected, so we've already started and will continue to find better ways to be sure that we have options for every race to be rescheduled without affecting anybody.
UPDATE 12/17/2012: ATTN. AMS members: We have had a 2013 Season #1 info page (Next Season) on the website for some time. Since the new season will be
starting in February, we will be holding tryout/practice races/rooms for potential new members starting January and in February, (dates/times TBD by staff). When we do, we will post the dates/times on Facebook and the league website.
So, if you know of any drivers that would consider racing in AMS, please stay tuned. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 12/10/2012: If you or someone you know plan on ordering online from Walmart, Tiger Direct, Your Best Deals, or eSportsonline, please have them come to our website and click on one of the ads on the right (scroll down). Also, if you or someone you know has a website, please click on the Linkshare ad. Any sale from
clicking on one of those ads will give our league a small commission. Once it adds up, we will have more sponsored races with more payouts. Every little bit helps. Thank You. New sites added occasionally

UPDATE 10/09/2012: http://www.speedwaymedia.com/?p=49272
UPDATE 09/19/2012: Whew..We got through Martinsville. Many of us knew going into that race that it would be the race with the most cautions/wrecks(always has been). It seems like it's one of those tracks that you've either got it or you don't. We also figured that it would be the toughest race to admin, although it went better than expected.
Putting Martinsville aside, we (admins) have to make calls throughout each race rather quickly and be as fair as possible. Nothing's perfect, but we really do try our best.Unfortunately, (unlike NASCAR) we don't have officials/admins that can spectate every race (and not race) to be able to look at every incident/replay instantly. That would be ideal, but finding someone to volunteer to do that every race would be virtually impossible. Paying someone to do that would be an option for future seasons, but without raising the league fee (which nobody wants to do), that would reduce and in some cases eliminate prize money for each race. So for now, we've got what we've got.
As far as the caution rules (#39 & #40), they were put in place to reduce cautions in the race (which they did, sometimes dramatically). Most cautions are usually the fault of one driver more than the other (and alot of those are just from mistakes rather than aggressive/wreckless driving). Very few cautions are a draw. There are times when a caution comes out and an admin asked "what was that caution for?" and nobody speaks up. Sometimes a driver will take fault for a caution not knowing 100% if it was their fault. If a driver does not take responsibility for a caution and during the post-race review it is found to be their fault, they will get penalized for it. Yes, it is a double-edged sword, but if you already have 1 or 2 cautions, it would probably be wise to drive a little less aggressive or wrecklessly. But in the end, it is
up to each driver how they deal with that situation.
In closing, many of our races have seen alot of long green flag runs and good side-by-side racing. I'm confident that us drivers and admins will continue to do our best and learn from our mistakes and others and just make AMS more successful. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 08/20/2012: Special Thanks to Dalton Baldwin for paying extra to extend our Cup (Thursday night) race rooms. As with all of our races, qualifying will still be
at 10:20pm ET, but the Thursday night Cup rooms will open at 8:30pm ET to give drivers extra time for practice.You may join the room anytime after 8:30pm ET, but remember that qualifying is at 10:20pm ET. Thanks
UPDATE 08/20/2012: Effective immediately, the second place finisher in the Cup Series races will receive $2.00. (Any races that are sponsored will have more
payouts as usual)
UPDATE 08/09/2012: We would like to thank Frontstretch.com for sponsoring our Michigan Cup race to be held on August 23rd....the Frontstretch.com 200
UPDATE 08/23/2012: From Frontstetch.com: "First off, on behalf of everybody here at Frontstretch, we'd like to wish all of the competitors in tonight's Frontstretch.com 200 the best of luck!
Second, if it's not too late, we'd like to send the top 3 finishers the following prize packs, courtesy of Frontstretch.com:
1st prize: Limited edition Mechanixwear red, white, and blue gloves & an insulated travel tumbler
2nd prize: Custom Wypall 1/24 sacle diecast, Bass Pro/Bojangles pack (mouse pad, can holders, sunglasses, tumbler cup)
3rd prize: Team Chevy.Hendrick Motorsports pack (mouse pad, towel, water bottle carrier)"
UPDATE 08/14/2012: Just a reminder, Rule #6. Provisionals - (2012 Season #2) - 5 for CUP Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Nationwide Series.
Meaning if you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for before 9:59pm ET on race night. If you do need to call for a provisional, you may do so on the Facebook group or at [email protected] Thanks
UPDATE 08/09/2012: We do have a TEAMS page. If you join/create/etc. a team and need info or logo added or changed, please contact [email protected]
We also have a link at the top, click more... for the AMS Forums
UPDATE 08/08/2012: Congrats to Kevin T. for winning the NW Shootout. Many of us had a rough race..4 caution in 50 laps. Restrictor plate races can go either way. Some drivers are better than others at plate tracks, while some are better at non-plate tracks. Also, luck, good and bad plays a role. We will forge through these races and with time we will all get better. Good Luck at the next race.
UPDATE 08/07/2012: Thanks to all that showed up for our first race of 2012 Season #2. Congrats to Kennan for winning the Truck Shootout. We had a great Truck race tonight. 3 cautions...but alot of give and take.
Kevin Ford made a pass on the last lap below (way below) the yellow line going for the win. 1 thing to clear up.....at restrictor plate tracks, you can not pass BELOW the yellow line for position, especially the win. There are a few exceptions such as if a car slams you down there (would be reviewed by admins). Also there are times during the race that cars are 2 or 3 wide and a car may briefly/slightly go below the line to avoid a wreck would normally not be a problem.
If you blatantly go below the line and gain a position(s), you must immediately give back the position(s) or be given a black flag. This is regarding restrictor plate tracks only (Daytona & Talladega). I hope that clears up a few things. If not, feel free to ask an admin any questions. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 08/06/2012: Open letter to all AMS drivers.
First off, welcome new drivers. This week starts the opening of 2012 Season #2 with the Shootouts (Truck-Tuesday,NW-Wednesday and Cup-Thursday). Although these are non-points/non-payout races, this will give many of us the opportunity to race with each other for the first time.Most of you have registered on Race Points Manager, but some drivers need to log-in http://www.anarchymotorsportsserver.com/league-info.html and pick your number etc. In order to do this, click on edit series and you can go from there.
Remember that you must be a paid driver in order to participate in any league races (many of you are). Some drivers will be paying in the next week so they will be eligible to race when next weeks points races start.
Only a couple rules have changed slightly since last season, namely rule #6 -Provisionals -we have added an extra provisional per series. Also, rules #36 & #39 pertaining to cautions and/or pace laps. Please take the time to go over the rules if you haven't done so already.
Again, welcome new drivers as well as welcome back existing drivers. Hope to have a great/competitive/fun season. Thanks, AMS Staff

We will be running a 7 race ARCA Series. For the ARCA Mini-Series race next week at Talladega, we'll be using the same setup that we used at Daytona. If you
don't have it, or didn't save it, here it is. http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/1994059.page
Also, for Dover and Iowa, we'll be using the regular fixed setup iRacing has. At South Boston, we'll be using the Langley fixed setup. That covers all the races for the rest of this season.
On another note, we have decided to make this series open to the public to try and get more people interested in the league.The schedule is at this link: http://www.racepointsmanager.com/pm4/league/1687/schedule/series/13

1. There will be single-file restarts.
2. Aside from tonight, races will be run on Tuesday nights.
3. There will be unlimited fast tows (that does not mean drive like an idiot).
4. It will be fixed setups.
5. Dover and Iowa already have a fixed setup that we will be using.
6. For the tracks that don't have a fixed setup, we will put one together and make it available to everyone at least 4-5 days prior to the race so people can practice.
7. All other AMS Rules do apply.

UPDATE 05/30/2012: Attention all AMS League Members This is a MAJOR LEAGUE ANNOUNCEMENT!
I have had a lot going on lately between The situation with my mother which has gotten worse! Add that too the fact that I have re-joined Hockey and Still have Zachary obviously and am in a serious relationship my time isn't what it was at! I will have a lot more time come the end of July to be here a lot more often when Hockey is over!
With that said I have decided to Temporarly hand my duties over to Kevin Troczynski. He will fulfill everything I had been doing I want to thank Kevin personaly and
professionally for stepping up to the plate at a time of need! There we're a few people who had the ability to do this but when it came down to it Kevin was the Best option. I want to Thank Chris Ostrander for his continued support of all my decisions weather they be racing ones or not and for approving this move!
Sincerely Shawn,
If anyone knows of any individuals, groups or businesses that would like to sponsor an event(s), race(s) or Series please contact [email protected] for info or an invoice (payment request).The sponsor will be able to choose which event(s)/race(s) to sponsor and have thier name used as the race name.

Update: 04/20/2012: AMS League Announcement:
We have a great league, with drivers of all skill levels. Yes, some races have had more cautions/wrecks than we would like to see, but with time, we feel that with each race, that will get better and better. We are not the iRacing Pro-Series, but we all are trying to do the best that we can.
One issue that the staff and members have is with certain comments etc, that be-littles or puts down the league, the staff or other members. That cannot be tolerated.
We are all here to have fun, yet be competetive to finish the best we can. With that being said, during official league races, the comments/texts should be kept to in race topics. Remember, the league does have a Code of Conduct.
As stated above, we are all here to have fun, yet be competetive. Sure, sometimes if you get wrecked, a quick comment might be said....that's understandable, but any lengthy discusions should wait until after the race.
We appreciate all of the members of AMS and the dedication and profesionalism that has been shown. Thanks, The AMS Staff

As far as the 5000iR, your iRating needs to be below 5000iR (oval) to start racing this season. IF an active driver exceeds 5000 during the course of the season, they will still be allowed to continue to race the remainder of the season.
We expect all drivers to familiarize themselves with the Code of Conduct.

UPDATE 05/24/2020:
Hi guys,
Just to answer a few questions/concerns that I've heard/received.
-AMS is still here and isn't going anywhere. If you are already part of the league, then you are all set. Some numbers have been freed up and a few more will be soon.
-Some members have expressed interest in having the races broadcasted, so we will be working that out. As soon as we have more info, we will announce it.
-A shake up this early in the season was never the plan. The plan was to make these changes next season, but after 1 OG admin quitting and 2 others ready to be done, waiting until Feb 2021 was just too far away.
It was very clear that there were at least 2 schools of thought on how the league should be handled/run (basically OG admins vs. newer admins) that we decided that now was the time for the change.
I truly appreciated all of the help and contributions from all of the admins (past and present). There was no hate or malice in the admin group (as far as I know), just maybe too many admins.
-Our focus is more on quality over quantity. We've had many good races this year (for the most part) and hope to continue the good on-track experience. We want people to race as hard as they want. What we don't want is all of the negativity, putdowns and clowns.
After the first couple of races, depending on the participation numbers, we may open up the league to new drivers. I personally think that we will have a good group.
Any questions, feel free to message me.
Thanks,
Chris
UPDATE 05/23/2020: ANNOUNCEMENT
Some of you may know that over the past few years, my heart hasn't been in the league like it used to be.
I am not that thrilled at the direction that it has gone over that time and was considering "retiring" from the league last year. I stayed this year to help the admins learn/do many of the tasks that I've been doing for years.
As the owner, I was able to veto certain things or strongly suggest certain things, while at the same time letting the admins vote/decide on many things as well.
There were a couple different directions that some admins/drivers seemed to want to go, so by making this move, it gives us both the freedom to go in the directions we feel is best.
Well, after a decade or so, I (and others) thought it's time to go back to when the league was run a little more simpler and WAY more respectful. Myself, a few admins, and hopefully many of you drivers will join us for this "new" approach to AMS.
Starting Monday, June 1st, we will be starting up a new 2020 season, with a more simpler respectful approach. We still look forward to good, hard competitive racing.
Updated series:
Use current (A) Cup cars.
Still 1 fast repair.
Shorter seasons. (2 seasons per year).
iRating 5000 max.
No caution warning list. (2 caused cautions in a race will still be parked for remainder of race)
Problem drivers will be approached by admins with warning to clean it up. If problems continue after that, suspensions may be in order.
Respect on AND off the track. (Code of Conduct)
Broadcast - TBD
Same day and times.
The schedule (20 races- 13 regular season/7 Chase races)
I've made ALOT of friends over the years, and to me, that's what Monday's were/are all about (besides the racing).
We look forward to seeing you on the track.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. If you have any questions, please contact or message me.
UPDATE 05/16/2020:
Next Monday is an off week for the league. There will be a Mid-Ohio race setup in the B-Cars with a 40 lap race.

We had a lot of cautions Monday night. 11 cautions, our most this season. Right now we feel there is a lack of respect towards each other. We must all respect each other on and off the track. We appreciate your cooperation in following our rules and being a part of great racing. We understand mistakes happen but the amount of mistakes happening, whether a caution comes out or not, is at an unacceptable level. We will begin to notify drivers if the quality of driving is at a level that needs to improve and implementing penalties if needed.
When a wreck is ahead, YOU MUST SLOW DOWN, and do your best to avoid the incident. Actions will be taken towards drivers who do not follow this expectation.
Additionally, the following members have been barred from racing:
1. Thomas Conheady
2. Scott Sanderson
3. Greg Elliott
4. Clint Collins
These changes are intended to improve the racing offered at Amsleague.
********Caution List*******

Ryan LaFalce (1 Race left without caution to be removed from list)
Johnathon Manzella (Added to list as of Homestead)

Another thing: Once again, if you see a wreck happening in front of you, please do not ARCA Brake it and try to make up positions.
Thank you everyone for coming out. Good luck and have fun!

******CAUTION WARNING LIST******
#2 Kevin James
#9 Matt Hoyle (As of Auto Club) 1st Warning
#22 Topper Dugas (As of Auto Club) 1st Warning
UPDATE 02/25/2020: The AMS League Cup Series rolled the dice on the strip and hit the asphalt track that is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Many anticipated a tough road ahead with the race session set for 3 fast repairs (Thanks Dalton Baldwin) and a full field of 43 drivers.
However, with the odds stacked high for a caution fest and tire wear being an issue to some in the field, the AMS League Cup Series drivers all hit the jackpot with green flag runs and only 6 cautions. Tyler Popp and Glenn Murphy Jr dominated the race where they lead 89 of the 125 laps combined.
Tyler Popp ultimately won the 188-mile race after a great restart with 18 laps till the checkered flag. Jon Schwartz would claim the first loser spot in second place and Josh Thaxton finished in the lucky 3rd spot. Glenn Murphy Jr fell to fourth place and new comer Mitchell Reaves would round out your top 5.
The AMS League Cup Series next heads to Fontana for the Auto Club 200 on March 2nd. As usual, practice starts at 7:30PM Eastern, qualifying at 9:20PM and grid at 9:25PM. See ya’ll next week!
IF YOU HAVE A THREE DIGIT NUMBER PLEASE CHOOSE SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING SINGLE AND DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBERS LEFT. Check the website at AMSLeague.com. Thanks!
CAUTION:
Kevin James Troczynski - 1st Friendly Warning
Clearing Black Flags:
We have made a slight change to our clearing black flag procedure. If you receive a passing under yellow black flag we will clear the penalty HOWEVER, you then will receive an EOL penalty. We feel like the iRacing green flag penalty is a bit much but still want some sort of penalty to try and prevent these things from happening.
All other black flag rules will be staying the same. Most black flags are non clearable and will be at the admins discretion. Please read the rules on the website if you are not sure what they are. If you have any questions feel free to message any of the admins.
UPDATE 02/19/2020:
Congratulations to our Top 5:

2nd - Joshua Banks

4th - Chris Ostrander
5th - Randy Armes
Great job guys.
The league scoring system that we and many other leagues use still has some issues. Provisionals still can't be added.
Also, any driver using the Mustang are not scored. Since it at least shows the proper finishing positions, I am able to add "bonus" points to those drivers to accurately reflect the proper points for the race.
Hopefully they work out the bugs since DanLisa is pretty much the only league scoring system out there right now. iRacing's own league scoring system is not really a viable option right now, but we will be keeping our eyes open for one.
Updated caution warning list
As always, appeals or protests should be submitted within 7 days.
Next up: Monday, June 17th: OFF
Then, Monday, June 24th - Sonoma - See you then.
UPDATE 06/05/2019:
A couple of updates:
-Iowa - Since it is scheduled as a night race, the track ToD (time of day setting) will start at 8:00pm x2.
-General: The Ford Fusion can no longer be used and the Ford Mustang will replace it. With the new GWC (green-white-checkers) feature, we will have a max of 3.
-Caution warning list: This was introduced to help eliminate the extreme amount of cautions we were having earlier in the season. The vast majority of drivers never make it onto the list, at least not past the initial warning.
If a driver does make it beyond the first warning (2nd or 3rd) then they probably need to change something. (aggressiveness, more practice at a certain track, or??? )
Einstein once said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Not calling anyone insane, although outsiders looking in at this hobby of ours might think different lol.
Again, to get on the list (1st warning), you would be the cause of a caution in 2 of 3 consecutive races. To clear that warning, you will have to complete the next 2 races without causing a caution. That's not asking a lot.
With all of that said, it is a pain in the ass to update every week as nothing about it is automated. With the current group of active drivers at AMS, it is much less needed now than it was earlier in the season. The initial plan was to have a "reset" at the conclusion of the regular season (going into the chase). Whether we do that, or get rid of it altogether or........, we'll make a decision by mid September.
-And finally, post-race Pocono: It was brought up that a driver(s) comments to or about another driver(s) should be dealt with.
We have always said not to do that over chat during races and to wait until after the race to deal with issues you may have with another driver.
Since it was not over the top or vulgar and was post-race, no actions will be taken.
Thanks. See you at Iowa.
UPDATE 06/04/2019:
Congrats to Kaleb Isenhour on the win at Pocono.
A few drivers still need to be added to the results, but the scoring system can't sync with iRacing right now (probably because of the new build). It will get done sometime this week.

UPDATE 04/16/2019:
Congrats to Glenn Murphy Jr on the Cup Series win at Richmond. Second win in a row. After an earlier mishap, he made it look easy getting back to the front. Alot of great driving throughout the field made for a very competetive race.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Joshua Banks
3rd - Greg Elliott
4th - Randy Armes
5th - Jonathan Schwartz
Good job boys.
Richmond showed some really good racing and some really good saves, but many of the cautions/wrecks had some familiar names involved. Some of the wrecks happened as the result of drivers pinching others in the turns, and while that is certainly allowed, giving a little room (especially so early in the race) would've prevented some of those wrecks.
Also, if you see some wrecking or cars getting out of shape ahead of you (even if the yellow hasn't come out.... yet), it is almost always a good idea to burp the throttle or check up for obvious reasons.
*The list of drivers with caution warnings will be posted in next weeks update.
A couple of notes for the upcoming Rockingham race on Monday:
-Scheduled non-points event.
-All AMS rules in effect.
-Since this is a non-points race, drivers under caution warnings aren't affected by this race, nor will any cautions caused by anyone be recorded towards a caution warning.
-NO FAST REPAIR (don't read into this).
We look forward to everyone joining us for this (hopefully) fun and exciting race.

UPDATE 04/10/2019:
2018 was a really good year for AMS.
2019 has started out rough, but is getting better. There's been alot of talk of how rough it's been, and rightly so, but there are certainly alot of great people and good racing on the track at times.
Sure, there were less drivers in the races last year but waaaayyyy less cautions/wrecks.
Hopefully everyone will use their pedals more wisely at Richmond and we can have some really good racing and even green flag pitstops.
See you guys Monday.
Race 2018 2019
Daytona 33 drivers/7 cautions 42 drivers/7 cautions

* last year AMS only had 1 Bristol race (August night race)
UPDATE 04/09/2019:
Congrats to Glenn Murphy Jr on the Cup Series win at Bristol. His first win of 2019, and most likely not his last. Pole, led almost all of the laps and the only driver with 0 incidents, can't ask for a better finish.
Good job to many other drivers throughout the field for good, clean hard racing.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Joshua Banks
3rd - Josh Thaxton
4th - Tyler Meeks
5th - Greg Elliott
Great job guys.
We had alot of good racing throughout the field, and some not so good racing (sound familiar).
Some updates as to how we are at least attempting to clean up some of the racing.
Michael R Skinner has been removed from AMS.
Bruce Ackermann is suspended for one race for violation of caution warning.
The following drivers are currently under a caution warning, meaning that if they bring out 1 caution in the next race or two (depends on when they received their warning) that they participate in, they will have to park it. Those with an (*) next to their name will also be suspended for 1 race if they bring out a caution in the next one or two races (depends on when they received their warning) that they participate in.

We feel this approach has been slowly working. Reducing cautions will of course make for longer green flag runs and less wrecking. Believe it or not, Bristol was better for it and hopefully Richmond will see some green flag pit stops.

UPDATE 04/02/2019:
Congrats to Ben M Bando on the Cup Series win at Texas. His first win at AMS. Starting 29th and leading the most laps, shows that he is a contender this year. Some very good racing throughout the field showed everyone how competitive many of you guys are.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Greg Elliott
3rd - Joshua Soucy
4th - Jonathan Schwartz
5th - Dylan Prostler
Great job guys.
We've had some really good racing throughout the field, but there are some drivers that have brought out cautions because they are either too aggressive or careless.
12 of those drivers will need to park if they are the cause of a caution in the next couple of races. (they have been given warnings)
Of those 12, six of those drivers will also be suspended if they bring out a caution in the next couple of races.
We are doing our best to help reduce the amount of cautions we are having and we are clearly noticing a pattern.
Basically, those that continue to bring out cautions will be parked so that the rest of us can have some fun, competitive green flag racing.
Shit happens. We get that. But it's not fair to those that are regularly racing clean, to have to deal with so many cautions.
With Bristol coming up, we ask everyone to drive within their means so we don't have another shitshow like we did at Martinsville. We have so many good drivers (regardless of speed) that we shouldn't be having so many cautions.

UPDATE 03/26/2019:
The following will hopefully help clear up how we deal with cautions.
We have all brought out a caution at some point. Most cautions are a result of a mistake, aggresive driving or good hard racing. Rarely is it ever malicious.
Most cautions are attributed to 1 driver being at fault more than the other driver(s). Whether its 99/1 or 60/40. Very rarely is it deemed an even 50/50. On those very rare occasions that it's deemed 50/50 or netcode, no driver is recorded for that caution.
The main purpose for us keeping a record of cautions is to establish a pattern, whether it's multiple cautions in one race or multiple cautions over the last few races or even the amount of cautions over the season.
We will have cautions from time to time no matter what, but the ultimate goal is to greatly reduce them.
At this time we have chosen not to publicly list drivers that cause cautions, but may change that in the future. Some drivers that bring out a caution one week may not bring out another caution for a very long time, while other drivers will show a pattern.
As far as short tracks, especially Martinsville and Bristol with these cars, a high percentage of iRacers in general either lack the skill or racecraft or patience or respect or a combination, that's why we see so many cautions at these tracks on iRacing. Larger tracks are generally less technical and often less problematic to most.
Still, that is no excuse for last night.
Again, our goal is to greatly reduce the amount of cautions and to have long green flag runs (we don't think that's asking too much lol). If we need to remove a certain driver or drivers to help us reach that, then we will do what we have to. It's not fair to most of us that show up to have some fun competive racing.

Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/26/2019:
Congrats to Joshua Banks on the Cup Series win at Martinsville. His first win at AMS and a dominant one at that. Some good racing when it was green, but 109 laps under yellow made it a really rough race. Next week can't come soon enough.
Rounding out the top 4:
2nd - Dylan Prostler
3rd - Jonathan Schwartz
4th - Josh Thaxton
Good job guys.
This week 3 drivers were given penalty points for their adjusted finishing position based on what lap they brought out their second caution. (you are no longer being scored once you bring out a your second caution in a race)
Also, this week 7 drivers were given their first caution warning for bringing out cautions in 2 of the 3 previous races, adding to the 3 drivers that received one last week. Of those 3, one driver received the second caution warning, meaning that if he brings out a caution in the next 2 races that he participates in, he will be suspended.
We hate to have to do this, but we really need to bring down the caution numbers and bring up the green flag racing laps.
***Starting next week at Texas, we will be going back to our normal (practice, qualify and race) all in 1 session. We would still advise everyone not to wait until the last minute to join.***
Our broadcaster Matt was under the weather and we expect him to be back for Texas.

UPDATE 03/25/2019:
We now have an AMS decal layer for your paint schemes. Check them out or download them here.
UPDATE 03/21/2019:
New changes to iRacing/Trading Paints
(1) Since MOST paint schemes are missing the decal layer now (contingencies etc), it is very easy to add them back. Go to Trading Paints and click on your car that you want to check. For those not familiar with painting etc, an easy way to tell if your contingencies are there or not, is to look on the fender behind the front tires. If your contingencies are there, there is nothing for you to do. If your contingencies are NOT there, click the "CHOOSE PAINT" dropdown on the top right and choose "Add Default Decal Stamp". That's it.
(1a) For those a little more advanced, a couple of our members are making a decal layer that will also include the new AMS logo, banner etc. (More info on that at a later time)
(2) "Custom Number paints are visible:"
-to drivers and spectators in hosted or league sessions where the host selects the option to disable decals and numbers and a Custom Number paint is uploaded to a driver’s Trading Paints account (WE WON'T BE USING THIS METHOD)
-to drivers and spectators in ANY iRacing session where that user has checked the “Hide Numbers” option in their iRacing graphics settings (WE WILL BE USING THIS METHOD)
(2a) We ask that all drivers check the "Hide Numbers" box in your in-sim graphics settings. This is not mandatory, but it will probably enhance your experience across all iRacing sessions.
(For those not familiar with these new changes, ALL cars will have numbers on them, regardless of what you do or don't do.)
More info on iRacing's/Trading Paint's new features:

http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3644296.page
*To painters using custom numbers: You must have your proper number on the car and all numbers must be visible.
tl;dr
If you do nothing (since this weeks patch), everything should look as it has in the past except:
-contingencies on your car may no longer be there. (1)
-you will not see custom numbers/schemes on some cars. (2a)
UPDATE 03/19/2019:
Congrats to Kaleb Isenhour on the Cup Series win at Auto Club. His first win at AMS. An exciting race without the past drama made for a fun race overall. An early caution at the front of the field and a late race caution setting up a 2 lap shootout both really changed up the dynamics of the race. Thanks to everyone for keeping race chat civil.
Rounding out the top 5:
2nd - Trevor Roppolo
3rd - Jonathan Schwartz
4th - Josh Thaxton
5th - Matthew Hoyle
Good job boys.
Blinking/lagging cars - We try to give anyone with those type of issues time to straighten out their connection. If after some time goes by and the blinking/lagging is still present, we ask that ride in the back or preferably park it until your connection is stable, otherwise we will have to park you.
No post-race penalties at this time, but a few drivers will be receiving their first "friendly" caution warning.
As always, if you see an issue that you feel the admins may have missed or not addressed, or if you have any issues at all with another driver or admin decision, please contact us http://www.amsleague.com/protest.html The more feedback, the better it is for everyone.

UPDATE 03/14/2019:
We would like to give everyone a heads up on how we will be dealing with caution rule 6.4.1. (Continuing to Cause Cautions)
Over the last few years we have been lax on this rule, but now with more racers and more cautions, we feel this will help reduce cautions and improve green flag racing.
With a full field of drivers of various levels of skill, aggressiveness etc, we will have cautions. We have all brought out a caution at some point, and we will all most likely bring out one again.
Even though this rule/procedure applies to everyone, VERY FEW will be affected by it.
Following the Auto Club race and moving forward, any driver that is the cause of at least one caution per race in 2 of the 3 previous races, will receive a "friendly warning" to not bring out a caution over the next 2 races.
If they DO NOT bring out a caution over those 2 next races, the warning will disappear.
If they DO bring out a caution over those 2 races, they will be required to park it immediately. They will then receive another warning informing them that if they bring out a caution in one of the next 2 races, they will have to again park it immediately and they will be suspended 1 race.
In the past, this has helped reduce the amount of cautions, especially with those that continuously had brought out cautions.
Again, VERY FEW drivers will actually be affected by this rule/procedure as most drivers don't bring out cautions very often, and those that do, will often adjust their driving as to reduce the amount of cautions they do bring out.
Rule 6.4. is still in effect (if you are the cause of 2 cautions in a race, you will be required to park your car for the remainder of the race) .
tl;dr
If you ARE NOT bringing out any/many cautions, business as usual.
If you ARE bringing out several cautions, there will be penalties.
Thank You for your understanding in this matter.

Penalties - A few drivers received post-race penalties. Because our scoring program (DanLisa) does not allow for adjusting finishing positions from the official results, most penalties are by points.
For example: If 25 cars finish on the lead lap, and the 10th place driver gets a penalty requiring tail end of the lead lap, his penalty will be 15 points.
A penalty can be appealed at [email protected] or http://www.amsleague.com/protest.html
A few of the penalties were for: 2nd caused caution, unintentionally spinning/wrecking another car under caution, intentional contact under caution, asking for and receiving a cleared black flag that was not deemed clearable.

We apologize to those that couldn't make the race. We were expecting the race session to fill up early, (within an hour, not in 7 minutes) we hope this new race eligibility procedure will be more fair to all.
We are also sorry for the broadcast for the Daytona race. Matt had a personal/family situation that prevented him from being there and we appreciate Jacob being in the booth for us. Matt and company will be back in full force for Atlanta.

UPDATE 02/19/2019:
AMS Cup Series Announcement: Race Eligibility
Starting next week at Atlanta Motor Speedway, we will be hosting a qualifying room separate from the race room. This will give everyone an equal chance to qualify their way into the races.
The qualifying room will open for practice at our regular time of 7:30 pm ET. Qualifying will be at the normal time of 9:20 pm ET as well.
After qualifying is over at 9:25 pm ET, that session will CLOSE and another will open for the race at 9:35 pm ET. The ten minute gap is to account for the time it will take an admin to setup the new session with the grid set from qualifying and any hiccups that might occur. That room will have a 10 min warmup to give drivers time to get in the race room and the race will grid at 9:45 pm ET.
We realize that this will push the race start time back 20 mins. We hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone and apologize if it does. We just feel this is the best way to insure everyone gets the best and fair opportunity to race.
If we have 2 straight weeks of less than 40 drivers, we will revert back to having everything in one session. This is because, generally speaking, after a few races into the season, the field size tends to shrink. Obviously, we want you all to be here and be able to make it every race. But sadly, that doesn't always happen. Going back would also put us back to our regular race start time.
Also, drivers who finished inside the top 10 in the 2018 AMS Cup Series point standings will have locked in positions to each race, given they make a qualifying attempt.
TL:DR
- Qualifying Rooms
- Separate from race room
- Practice still from 7:30 pm to 9:20 pm ET.
- Qualifying still at 9:20 pm ET.
- After qualifying, race room will open at 9:35 pm ET.
- 10 min warmup.
- Grid at 9:45 pm ET.
- Green flag at approx. 9:46 ET.
- 2 straight weeks of less than 40 drivers, we will go back to old way of practice, qualifying and race all in one session.
- Top 10 in 2018 AMS Cup Series Points Standings have locked in positions to each race as long as they make a qualifying attempt.
The race session filled up within 10 minutes tonight. We anticipated that the race session would fill up within an hour, but not in 7 minutes.
We apologize to those that did not make the race and we hope the above procedures will help make for a more fair way for everyone.
UPDATE 02/12/2019:
Congrats to Graham A. Bowlin on the win in The Clash. His first race, his first win and his first lap led. If you're only going to lead one lap, it might as well be the last one :)
A big shoutout to everyone in the race. 3 cautions with a full field at Daytona with many drivers new to each other. Sorry to those that couldn't make the race.

A couple of highlights:
-(NEW) To submit a protest, question or concern regarding an AMS race or driver, please do so at http://www.amsleague.com/protest.html (tab on top of website)
-If you are the cause of 2 cautions in a race, you will be required to park your car for the remainder of the race.
-If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race, you will be given a warning and further action may be taken. (in the past we have been lenient on this rule, that is no longer the case)
-NO INTENTIONALLY WRECKING YOUR FELLOW COMPETITORS. Doing so under caution will be an immediate suspension.
-Black Flags: All iRacing given black flags will be upheld unless a Main Staff member says otherwise. Main Staff gets final call on all black flags given.
-Clearing Black Flags: If you feel you were wrongly given a black flag, or according to any of our rules, you should not have received one, then tell an admin your situation and we may clear it.
-Cleared Black Flags: Any black flags cleared by a Main Staff member during a race will be subject to a mandatory post race review.
-Black Flags for Avoiding a Wreck: If you're attempting to avoid a wreck, or you spin down pit road, and you are NOT the cause of the accident/incident, any black flags given to you from this will be cleared. Just ask an admin to clear them. (single car pit road violations will not be cleared)
-15 Drivers will make the chase based on regular season points. (No stages, no elimination rounds, no win and you're in)
-After the Daytona Clash, all track time-of-day (ToD) settings for races will be set to the actual race start time.
-Provisionals: You are granted 5 provisionals for the Cup Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. You may request it as early as you'd like, but MUST be called for BY 9:25pm ET on race night.
The first couple of races, everyone is getting used to each other.

- At the conclusion of the Homestead race, the league will be opened up to allow new drivers.

2nd - Randy Armes
3rd - Joshua Soucy

Great job guys.
Next up: Monday, November 12th: Phoenix
-Monday- AMS Cup Series - Chase race #5 - CSU One Cure 150 at ISM Raceway - Broadcasted on ASN https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfjr2WRM-6qZkDHb9wyk0Sw/featured and iRacing Live
Good Luck and Have Fun.
** After a careful post-race review, it was determined that Jonathan intentionally brought out the caution (self spin) which resulted in him to stop being scored, which would've resulted in a 10th place finish (5 positions/points).
This was not the first time that this was suspect, but it can sometimes be difficult to prove a self spin.
This was in violation of rule 5.5. Race Manipulation/Cheating.
At AMS, we consider cheating to be one of the worst things that can be done in the league and it will usually require suspensions or even removal from the league.
In the above case, that penalty was considered a warning and it also included a probation for that violation through the end of the 2019 season.
Update- ##58 Jonathan Schwarz appealed his penalty that was assessed after the race at Chicagoland Speedway on Monday night. After a lengthy discussion and hearing Jon's case, we have decided to adjust the penalty. His original finishing position of 5th place will be reinstated and the 5 points that was taken away due to that will be reinstated. However, he will be on probation until the end of 2019; primarily concerning incidents like this, but it is not limited to them. This decision was due to a host of factors regarding many things and moving forward, certain things will be handled and looked at differently.
In the future, questionable cautions and incidents will be looked at more closely. Depending on the severity, circumstances, and evidence leading up to it, it may immediately result in a penalty or will be talked about with the driver and a warning will be given.
There are other habits and common incidents with drivers that from now on, will be talked about with the driver, rather than us keeping a mental note of it. It will be written down and kept track of and handled accordingly.
In closing, AMS does not tolerate intentional wrecking or attempted race manipulation of any kind. Every incident has a multitude of circumstances and evidence leading to it. Those are not always clear cut. This is why an appeals process is in place. But that DOES NOT mean that any appeal will result in a penalty being overturned or lessened. It means there is a possibility that it could be. Again, we will be looking into certain situations a lot more closely now and keeping a better tally and communication of any questionable incidents for our own records and for the drivers knowledge.
We would also like to highly advise ALL drivers save their own replay of the race. As replays can look and vary greatly from driver to driver. But your replay will give a 100% accurate representation of your car, which may need to be known to prove the reasoning for a penalty to be overturned. You do not need to keep the replays for a long period of time (realistically, at most a few days to a week) as they can take up a lot of space on a hard drive. This isn't a rule, but a major suggestion to save them for a short period of time.
As always, if anyone has and questions, concerns, comments etc, please feel free to contact admin(s) via message or TeamSpeak would be best.

A couple reminders:
-In general, when spinning or wrecking, it's usually better to lock up the brakes. Please use your better judgement if this happens.
-When exiting the pits, our rule to enter on the backstretch has changed to now using iRacings pit exit/blend line/blue cone rule.
-For Watkins Glen (as with any road course) we will have one competition caution approx. half way. When the leader completes lap 20 and passes the pace car/pit exit, the yellow will be thrown.
We have a great group of racers with various speeds/talent levels. For the most part, everyone is very respectful. As with any competition, tempers may flare briefly, but there is no better place I would rather race.

P.S. Thanks to all of the drivers at AMS. We have a great group of guys. Based on the car count and length of the races, many of our races have few cautions.
Kansas was a rough one. Hopefully we got that out of our systems and continue to have some really great races.

UPDATE 04/18/2018: Based on the poll results and the fact that Hammer doesn't have a Richmond setup posted, we will be using iRacing's default setups starting at Richmond.
In regards to using 70% fuel, we are going to keep using it for race strategy. However, we are looking into weight transfer options to combat the low fuel and any handling issues it causes. More on that will be posted at a later date.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 04/12/2018: Congrats to Randy Armes on the Cup Series win at Texas and to Jonathan Schwartz on the Dirt Series win at Daytona.

UPDATE 04/12/2018: If we ran 100% of the real world races, 100% fuel would be used. Our races are 40-50% of real world races, so in theory, the fuel would be set accordingly.
6-7 years ago we compromised on the fuel percentage to 70%, better than 50% yet closer to full fuel for handling.
The main purpose for less fuel is to promote green flag pit stops/strategy etc. which is all about putting a complete race together. 100% fuel at some races would require only 1 stop (not gonna happen).
Regardless of which setups (Hammer's or iRacing's) we use moving forward, we will not be making changes to the actual setups (for obvious reasons), but we are always exploring options such as weight penalty to mimic the weight of full fuel etc.
We understand that not everyone will agree with everything..... that's human nature.
We appreciate all of the feedback (even if you think nobody's listening... we are).

UPDATE 02/27/2018: AMS Cup Series Competition Change: Due to the overheating issue at Atlanta, all setups used from John Hammer will be limited to 40% tape. This is a maximum limit. If the setup only has 25% tape, it will stay at 25%. But, if the tape is at 50%, it will be lowered to 40%. That is the only changes that will be made to the setups.
Also, if you are practicing the setup in test or in an iRacing practice room, your fuel will be at 100% there. While we only run 70% in our races. This will tighten the setup up some in comparison, primarily on entry and center. So keep that in mind when practicing.
Details on the Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday league practice sessions will be posted in the next few days.
Here is a link to John Hammer's setup in the forums: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3593717.page
Note: John does have 3 versions to his setup. We are using his base one. It's the original and the other two versions are there to give people using his sets in open races different options on loose to tight. This will always be the case if he has multiple, the base one will be used.
UPDATE 02/27/2018: The AMS Staff would like to apologize to all the drivers last night for the overheating issue on the setup. It was an oversight by us during testing and it was only noticed as an issue late Sunday night.
We want to also thank all of the drivers for their persistence and maturity in dealing with that adversity last night.
Due to the small time frame we had before the race to make a change, we felt it best to let it play out. As we did not want to make a change to the setup, especially with such short notice, and we did not know what the weather in the race would be like, which didn't play out in our favor. Obviously, these decisions effected the race and ended some drivers races, and again, we apologize.
In the future, more extensive testing will be done with the setups to make sure issues like this don't arise again.
This is the first time we've tried using third-party setups as our fixed setups. Again, we are doing this to give the drivers a more raceable setup. Outside of the overheating issue last night, we believe, along with comments from multiple drivers, that this was a step in that direction.
Thank you, and see you all in Las Vegas.
UPDATE 02/23/2018: Congrats to Hank Allen on winning his first AMS race, the Cup Series Daytona 250 presented by Children's Dream Racer and also Congrats to Derek Fisher on the Dirt Series win at Eldora.
Great job guys.
All AMS race sessions OPEN at 7:30pm ET (8:30pm ET for Dirt Series) for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET.

We had a good turnout and good racing at Daytona. Thanks to all of our great drivers.

Thanks to Matt Eagan and everyone at American Sim Network for putting on a quality broadcast.
The Atlanta setup has already been posted in the FB group and the home page here, at the top.
The Las Vegas setup will be posted in the next day or so.
Keep an eye out for practice sessions each week (not mandatory).
Good Luck and Have Fun.
UPDATE 02/22/2018: AMS Cup Series Update:
A competition change is being made to the AMS Cup Series, effective immediately.
Due to the typical ill handling nature of the iRacing fixed setups, AMS staff has decided to use different setups for our races. The series will still be fixed. But we will be using John Hammer's setups off of the iRacing forums, as he plans to post one every week.
After testing Atlanta with both sets and knowing how some of the fixed setups are at other tracks, we believe this move will help provide everyone a better race environment, while still keeping the nature of a fixed series.
I've attached the setup that will be used for the Animal Rescue Foundation 200 at Atlanta this week. There is also a link to the forums where John Hammer posted this setup.
A post will be made each week with the setup by Tuesday night prior to the race, with a link to the posted setup on the forums.
Also, when testing this week, remember that we do use realistic weather, so be aware that the weather could be anything in the actual race session. The Atlanta race will also be in the late afternoon.
Thank you and good luck to all of the drivers this week.

Added:
Several times a year over the last several years this subject has come up. Many options have been brought up, but up until now, none have passed the "smell test". We wouldn't even make a slight adjustment to tire pressures or tape etc as to not give the appearance that it would benefit one of the people making the decision.
John Hammer's setups have some thought put into them unlike iRacing's default setups the last few years. He has also been very helpful to the iRacing community in general.
-He is not friends with, nor has any affiliation with AMS, its admins or as far as we know, any of our drivers.
-He will not be allowed to race in AMS races.
-We have zero input in the setups and will not make any adjustments.
-His setups will be posted on the iRacing Forums, in this section http://members.iracing.com/jforum/forums/show/6312.page and after posted there, we will post it on the league website and Facebook group.
Please don't judge this decision based on the Atlanta race, but give it a few weeks and we will definitely welcome comments/input etc.
If we find those setups to be problematic in the future, or if he stops posting them, then we can always go back to default.
Any track that we go to, if he does not have a posted setup, we will use the iRacing default setup for that track.
I'm hoping that this comment and some of the comments in the Facebook group help answer many of your questions/concerns.
Thanks
P.S. The setup will be preloaded in the league race session as always, but will be posted here and the Facebook group approx. a week early for you to download for practice.

Thanks
Edit to the original post.
A couple of things about last nights race:
1. When leaving the pits, under green flag, you must enter on the backstretch. Dalton was caught not doing so and was given a black flag (stop and go) penalty verbally. While not unusual to give a verbal penalty for this, it was done so in admin chat and should've been said in race chat.
He immediately served the penalty as can be seen in the replay. He did not have an iRacing black flag as can be seen in the results.
It can be viewed at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/EventResult.do?&subsessionid=19008024&custid=81770 towards the top left, under Race results, you can click on session events. (Any penalty given or cleared by an admin will say, Penalty cleared/given by admin (name): )
2. When a caution happens and nobody calls it, an admin will ask about it. Please leave it up to those involved to call it (or not). While it seems helpful to let us know your opinion on it, sometimes it may not be as it seems (especially if you are on track) and will be reviewed post race.
We keep track of the cautions so if someone brings out 2 cautions in a race, they will need to park it. If we have to review cautions post race and find that someone brought out a second caution, they will be scored finishing on the lap that the second caution happened.
3. Every AMS driver has, or should have read the code of conduct. If you have an issue with someone on track, a brief civil comment is fine, but no one wants to hear someone swearing or going on about an incident at length. Please be respectful to all of the drivers and wait until after the race to bring it up, or at the very least, not do that in race chat.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

***A couple updates regarding a previous post about donations. First off, Thanks to those that have made donations.
TeamSpeak is good for the next year. Again, Thank You.
Based on that previous post that said we needed about $50. to cover the remaining broadcasts: Forgetting about the $50. in the account already committed to Championship payouts, it should've said that about $100. was needed. Due to a couple donations, we are still about $70. short.
Next weeks race at Bristol is already paid for. We have about half of what's needed for the Brickyard race and still need Atlanta's broadcast (season finale) to be covered.
To those that have already contributed/donated this season, please don't feel obligated to donate.***
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL and we'll see you at Bristol.

UPDATE 11/17/2016: After further review, based on a late race issue in Monday nights Truck race at Phoenix, Dalton Baldwin is suspended for 1 Truck race and on probation for the remainder of the season.
While we do our best to make calls/decisions during races or post-race, sometimes via meetings (sometimes several) throughout the week, some calls/decisions are made a few days later based on much dialogue and/or other evidence.
Also, a few drivers were removed from the league for attempting to disparage AMS during the race/broadcast on Tuesday, among some other reasons.
A couple of them may be considered for acceptance back into the league if they apply during the off-season that starts mid January, and a couple are no longer welcomed back.
Below is a quote that we have posted multiple times on the website and Facebook group.
"One of the main goals of AMS is to have a place drivers can come to every week and have an enjoyable experience without having to put up with alot of B.S.
We have drivers of various talent levels as well as some drivers ranging from very chill to very aggressive. We DO encourage hard racing and we also understand that accidents will happen.
We also DO encourage any driver to let an admin(s) know if they are seeing issues with certain drivers or just want to voice an opinion or suggestion. This IS your league."
With that being said, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns such as rules, or why certain calls were made or not made, or ANYTHING league related, please contact an admin(s).
Admins can be reached via Facebook message, iRacing message, email or TeamSpeak. If you would like to meet with multiple admins at once, pre-race or post-race on TeamSpeak is the best time or setting up a meeting is also an option.
Thank You and we'll see you on the track,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 11/14/2016: It's getting close to that time of the year to renew our TeamSpeak server. AMS relies on donations to keep it running. Some people will donate more/less, but even a $6.00 donation equals out to less than 12 cents per week for 24/7 access.
We appreciate any help we can get.
To donate to the TS server, please follow this link. https://www.typefrag.com/billing/deposit.aspx?id=00866de2-94c6-4e6f-9b57-66de55b01eff
Also, since we switched broadcasters this season to someone reliable that shows up and does a great job, the price is of course higher, although a very fair price.
We have enough in the AMS account to cover the broadcasting of the next several races, but we still need to raise at least $135. to cover the final few races.
Any donations to help cover those costs will be very much appreciated.
To donate, please click on the Paypal "donate" button.
It cost hundreds of dollars per year (2 seasons per year) to keep AMS running, not counting broadcast costs. Every penny goes back into the league. No admin or anyone else makes a penny off of it (not counting broadcaster/iRacing/etc).
We definitely are very Thankful to those who have made donations and/or sponsorships in the past and future.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

A few notes:
-We have completed our third week of points racing and a couple drivers received the caution warning (bringing out a caution 3 weeks in a row).
-Rule 42.1 was added recently, regarding entering pit road under caution.
-For violating Rule 18, Clay Dildine received a 20 point penalty and 4 weeks probation. The reason the penalty was much lighter than a suspension(s) is because it backfired on him as his car was wrecked early because of it and no one else was involved in the incident, and since some drivers may not be aware of this rule, it gives everyone notice about it.
Moving forward, NO substitute drivers are allowed during any AMS league race.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

Some of the cautions appeared to have a slight netcode affect when cars were side by side or side drafting. Something to keep in mind for these longer races at Daytona.
Please keep in mind the caution rules: 2nd caused caution will require you to park it. Also, if you bring out at least 1 caution per week (Truck/Cup) 3 weeks in a row that you race, you will be given a warning.
Cautions are inevitable, but we all would like to have alot more long green flag runs this season.
Again, Thanks to everyone that showed up to the Shootouts and we look forward to a great 2016B season.
UPDATE 08/02/2016: Next up: OUR 23RD SEASON - 10TH SEASON on iRacing: 2016 Season #2 (2016B) will start Aug. 15th - 17th with the Shootouts (non-points). The first week of points racing starts with the Daytona races Aug. 22nd - 24th.

Thanks to Kennan Miller (Reid Super-Save Market) for sponsoring extended practice for all 3 series'.
Just a reminder that AMS has continued its partnership with Digital Forge Broadcasting Network to broadcast live, The Children's Dream Racer Cup Series races every Tuesday. Other series' races may be added.
We do expect all AMS drivers to at least check out the rules page on the website. You will not be quizzed on these. The rules have been added/updated/etc. over the past 7 or 8 years and even the admins at times need to go to the page to reference some rules.
A few rules of note:
-6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night. (Only 43 drivers per race gets points)
-12. No promoting other leagues or politics during a race, in race chat (including paint scheme).
-27. Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch.
-32. Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution/pacing!
-36.2. If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension.
-40. If you're the cause of a second caution in a race, you will be parked.
-41. If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race or even in a single race, you will be given a warning and further action may be taken!
-56. All AMS league races will be run under the league section (league sessions) of iRacing.
-On starts/restarts, the leader of the race has the choice of going anytime between when the pace car pulls off and green flag.
Most answers to questions can be found on this website or if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact an admin, join our TeamSpeak server or post in the Facebook group.
And last but Not least, we have a few new drivers this season and we would like to WELCOME you all to AMS and WELCOME back to all existing AMS drivers.
Let's have a Great season and we will see you all on the track soon.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 07/05/2016: Hi all,
A couple updates:
Starting next season, 2016B, since our races are at the beginning of the week, we will be pushing back our races by 1 week (mostly Truck and Cup) to give everyone more on-track time at that track before our league races. Basically how our next weeks season finale races at Kentucky are.
Links to next seasons schedules can be found here http://www.amsleague.com/2016-season-info.html
We will also be freeing up some single and double digit car numbers over the next couple of weeks. If you haven't participated in an AMS race since before April, and you have a single or double digit car number, we will be giving you a 3 digit placeholder number.
If this pertains to you and you DO plan on racing with us next season, please contact [email protected] If you do have a 3 digit placeholder number, you will still be able to race next season, we will then get you in a single or double digit number. Your numbers can be found here http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27
We will also be thinning out the league members section at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 by removing any driver that has not participated in any AMS races over the past 2 seasons (2015B and 2016A). Again, if this pertains to you and you DO plan on racing next season (starts August) please contact [email protected]
If you are removed and then decide that you would like to race at AMS, just contact us and we can add you back.
We look forward to racing with you all next season (and of course those that are still racing this season).
Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 07/01/2016: Congrats to Glenn Murphy Jr. on the Truck Series win and to Steven Landry on the Cup Series win, both at Daytona. Also, congrats to Chris Ostrander on the IndyCar Series win at Auto Club.

THANKS to all of the drivers that have stepped up and helped reduce the caution count. Over the last 2 weeks, we have averaged about 5 cautions per race (not counting Sonoma). That is a huge improvement on the caution count. Again, THANK YOU.
UPDATE 06/24/2016: Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win at Gateway and to Ryan Cobb on his dominating win in the Cup Series race at Sonoma and to Kennan Miller on his dominating win in the IndyCar Series race at Road America.

Dylan Landry has been suspended 1 Truck race for violation of rule 36.2. "If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension."
Also, 2 drivers received the caution warning, meaning that if they bring out 1 caution over the next few races, they will have to park it.
We've had some great racing this past week with only 5 cautions (huge improvement over last week) at Gateway. Great job to everyone.
UPDATE 06/17/2016: ***Special announcement below***
Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win and to Thomas Conheady on the Cup Series win, both at Iowa.
Good job guys.
Next up: June 20th - June 22nd : Gateway/Sonoma/Road America
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Chase race #3 - Gateway 120 (night)
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Chase race #3 - Sonoma 70 (35 laps) - Broadcasted Live
Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Chase race #2 - Road America 30
Good Luck to All.
***Effective immediately, rule #40 has been changed to "If you're the cause of a SECOND caution in 1 race, you will be parked or removed from the race." (previously it was 3 cautions)
rule #41 may be re-written, but basically this is how it goes: If you bring out at least 1 caution per week (Truck and/or Cup) for 3 consecutive weeks that you race, you will be given a warning that if you bring out a caution in the next few races, you will be parked.
Since cautions are off at road courses (Sonoma), except our mid race competition caution, this could be carried over to the following week.
If you have brought out at least 1 caution each week over the last 2 weeks, (and there are some), you may want to avoid bringing out a caution. Also, if you have brought out a caution last week, you may want to be careful about bringing out more cautions.
We understand that there will be cautions, and we all have/will bring out a caution at some point, but there is a difference with those constantly bringing out cautions and those that bring out just a handful of cautions per season.
We enjoy and appreciate racing with everyone each week and we hope these rules will drastically reduce the amount of cautions we are having.
Thank You in advance for your cooperation.
UPDATE 06/10/2016: Congrats to Lance Carpenter on his first AMS win, the Truck Series race at Texas, and also, Congrats to Glen Murphy Jr. on the Cup Series win at Michigan and Kevin Troczynski on the IndyCar win at Texas.

Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Chase race #1 - Texas 110
Good Luck to All.
As of this writing, there is not yet a written rule re: the controversial final restart at the Pocono Cup race.
Moving forward, a restart like that, just like intentionally self spinning to bring out a caution will be considered cheating (as it is on iRacing and real world racing series') and will be dealt with accordingly.
A little respect goes a long way just as a little disrespect can also.
Most of us all race with each other on a weekly basis and 99% of the time everything is fine overall. It's racing... incidents happen (always have/always will), but as far as cheating, hopefully we won't have to deal with that moving forward.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 05/27/2016: Congrats on the dominating wins this week with Dalton Baldwin taking the wins in the Truck and Cup series races at Charlotte and to Chris Ostrander on the IndyCar Series win at Indianapolis.

Philip Nease has been put on a 1 Cup race suspension. Violation of rules 1.1, 32 and 36.2
One thing that we have been very firm on over the years is no intentional wrecking someone under caution. While we do not condone intentional wrecking anytime, doing so under caution/pacing is a guaranteed 1 race suspension.
UPDATE 05/20/2016: Congrats to Dylan Landry on winning The ALL-STAR Race at Kentucky and to Stewart Joyce on the IndyCar Series win at Charlotte.

Good Luck to All.
Although we know that Martinsville can bring out the best and worst of drivers, thankfully that's in our mirror.
A few penalties given out:
As per the rules (32 & 36.2), Craig Embree and Lance Carpenter have been suspended for 1 Cup race due to intentionally wrecking another driver under caution/pacing. A second violation of that rule this season will be a much harsher penalty.
Although we had way too much wrecking under green, We DO NOT tolerate wrecking under caution/pacing.
Daniel Bowman has been suspended for 2 weeks for a couple of reasons. violations of rule 41, continuing to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race... and rule 1.1, and violation of our 'Boys Have At It' Policy (bottom of rules page). He did receive multiple warnings before we acted.
One of the main goals of AMS is to have a place drivers can come to every week and have an enjoyable experience without having to put up with alot of B.S.
We have drivers of various talent levels as well as some drivers ranging from very chill to very aggressive. We DO encourage hard racing and we also understand that accidents will happen.
We also DO encourage any driver to let an admin(s) know if they are seeing issues with certain drivers or just want to voice an opinion or suggestion. This IS your league.
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/30/2016: The points have been updated as of now. After reviewing the replays later today, penalties may be accessed.
Since we had to start another session because of the pace car glitch, the 5 drivers that did not start the second session were awarded points, including Will Jones getting credited with the pole and leading laps. Any driver that legitimately led a lap in the first session was also credited with that.
Since Kennan was in the first session, and could have/may have run laps if it wasn't cut short, he was allowed to start the second session. His "penalty" reflects the lack of laps from the first session.
Although DanLisa is a good scoring program, it has more limitations than RPM had (as far as adjusting finishing positions and other things).
If someone feels that the results/points are not accurate or if you have any questions about them, please let me know. Again, penalties may be accessed after reviewing the replays later today, ie; clearly causing at least 3 cautions or intentional contact under yellow.
As per the rules (32 & 36.2), Craig Embree has been suspended for 1 Cup race due to intentionally wrecking another driver under caution/pacing. A second violation of that rule this season will be a much harsher penalty.
Although we had way too much wrecking under green last night, We DO NOT tolerate wrecking under caution/pacing.

UPDATE 02/25/2016: Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win and to Cameron Hearn on the Cup Series win and to Chris Ostrander on the IndyCar Series win, all at Atlanta.

Next up: February 29th - March 2nd: Las Vegas
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Las Vegas 110
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Las Vegas 188 (125 laps) Broadcasted Live
Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - OFF
Good Luck to All.
Reminder: ALL Tuesday night Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races will be broadcasted live beginning at 9:30pm ET.
Because of logistics with the broadcasts starting at 9:30pm ET, the race sessions will open at 7:45pm ET for extended practice with qualifying at 9:35pm ET. "league sessions"
UPDATE 02/18/2016: Whew, Daytona is in our mirror. We did have some good racing. ***PLEASE read the below announcement as it affects everyone.***
Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win and to Tim Matthews on the Cup Series win and to Scott Tucker on the IndyCar Series win, all at Daytona.
Good job boys.
Next up: February 22nd - February 24th: ATLANTA
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Atlanta 110
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Atlanta 188 (125 laps) Broadcasted Live
Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Atlanta 110
Good Luck to All.
Starting this Tuesday at Atlanta, ALL Tuesday night Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races will be broadcasted live beginning at 9:30pm ET.
Because of logistics with the broadcasts starting at 9:30pm ET, the race sessions will open at 7:45pm ET for extended practice with qualifying at 9:35pm ET.
Since we had to move the Cup sessions by 15 minutes, we have decided to make it universal with ALL 3 series sessions starting at 7:45 pm ET with qualifying at 9:35pm ET.
We apologize if this slight time change will cause any problems with you.
******From here on out, ALL race sessions will open at 7:45pm ET under "league sessions". While we aren't sure how many plan to race, it is better to sign in to the session as early as possible to guarantee a spot in the race - first come, first serve.******
Finally, we are having to clear WAY TOO MANY black flags under cautions/on restarts. Everyone will need to work together to tighten up the field under caution/on restarts and get in your proper place (it tells you right in the middle of your monitor who to pass/let by/etc). As per rule 33.1, you can be given a black flag if you are not paying attention as to where you should be, and others get a black flag because of it.
We had a good week at Daytona and look forward to racing with everyone each week.
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 02/15/2016: LEAGUE ANNOUNCEMENT:
(Please Read.)
Qualifying Rooms to be hosted in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION.
...
This week's, and possibly more, races in the AMS Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series and Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series are going to have qualifying rooms to help facilitate the amount of drivers we currently have.
TAKE NOTE:
- Qualifying rooms, and likely the race, will be in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION.
- 2 qualifying rooms will open at 7:25pm ET for practice. (Admins will be present in both rooms.)
- Qualifying will still start at it's normal time of 9:20pm ET.
- After the 5 minute qualifying session, the race room will be sorted and put up within 10-15 minutes.
- The top 43 qualifiers will make the race.
- The race room will have approx. 10 minutes of practice for everyone to join.
- After that, the race will begin and run as usual.
Qualifying Rooms to be hosted in TOURNAMENT SESSIONS in the HOSTED SECTION. NOT in league sessions.
This is to help facilitate and handle the high amount of drivers we currently have wanting to race in the league; and give each of those drivers a fair opportunity to make the race.
Qualifying rooms will be used in both the AMS Truck and Cup series until further notice. If the amount of drivers showing up reasonably lowers below 43, we will go back to not having qualifying rooms.
You only need to join 1 of the practice/qualifying sessions. If you plan on practicing with teammates etc., you may want to message them to let them know what session you will be joining. Good Luck.
Thank you all,
from the AMS Staff.
EDIT: If LESS than 43 drivers record a qualifying time:
In the event any drivers do not record a qualifying time, they will be placed as follows:
- For the first 3 races, drivers with no Q time will be ordered by last season's points standings, and then by practice times.
- After the first 3 races, drivers with no Q time will be ordered by this season's points standings, with practice times being a tie breaker.
There will be NO guaranteed spots for any drivers. Top 43 qualifiers, straight up.
UPDATE 02/11/2016: Thanks to everyone that showed up to The Shootouts. Congrats to the winners, Chris Ostrander - Truck, David Bradford - Cup, Dan Lee Ensch - IndyCar.
Great job guys.
Now that they are out of the way, the official 2016A season starts Monday. All AMS race sessions OPEN at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET. Truck & Cup Sessions will fill up early.

Good Luck and have fun.
AMS is a free to race league that depends on donations and race/series sponsorships (which are also donations). We would like to again THANK all of those that have donated to the league.
Starting Tuesday, Feb. 23rd (Atlanta), all Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races will be broadcasted live.
More info on sponsored races can be found here.
At AMS, we use iRacing default setups for that track. IF iRacing doesn't have a setup for a particular track, we've usually found a default setup for another track that works well (possible gear change). For the IndyCar race at Daytona we will be using the default Auto Club setup which is much more stable than the Shootout setup we used.
Again, we would like to WELCOME all of the new drivers this season and WELCOME BACK to existing AMS drivers.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
P.S. If we decide to do duel style qualifying races or even separate qualifying sessions, we will update this post, create a new one, email, iRacing message, etc. to get the word out.
UPDATE 02/08/2016: Tonight starts the season opening Shootouts for Season 2016A. All AMS race sessions open at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET.
All AMS drivers are eligible to race in the Shootouts. As we are not aware of how many drivers plan to race, it is first come, first serve (43 slots).
The following week will be our first points races of the season and if we feel that more than 43 drivers plan to run the Daytona Cup race, we MAY do Duels style qualifying races. More info on that will be posted in next weeks weekly update.
Other than possibly doing duel races for the Feb. 16th Cup Race at Daytona, ALL other AMS races will be first come/first serve.
Next up: February 8th - 10th: Shootouts at Daytona
Monday - Childrens Dream Racer Truck Series - Shootout 50 (day)
Tuesday - Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series - Shootout 50 (night)
Wednesday - Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series - Shootout 50 (day)
Good Luck and have fun.
UPDATE 02/02/2016: We are less than a week away from the season opening Shootouts for Season 2016A. All AMS race sessions open at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET.
All AMS drivers are eligible to race in the Shootouts. As we are not aware of how many drivers plan to race, it is first come, first serve (43 slots).
The following week will be our first points races of the season and if we feel that more than 43 drivers plan to run the Daytona Cup race, we MAY do Duels style qualifying races. More info on that will be posted in next weeks weekly update.

Good Luck and have fun.
Just a reminder that AMS has partnered with Digital Forge Broadcasting Network to broadcast live, The Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series races every Tuesday beginning February 23, 2016. Other series' races may be added. If a race is to be broadcasted, it will be reflected on the schedule(s). The links to all series' schedules can be found all over the place on this website. * At least 2 races in the Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series will also be broadcasted live - The Indianapolis 200 on May 25th and The Season Finale Kentucky 110 on July 13th.
We do expect all AMS drivers to at least check out the rules page on the website. You will not be quizzed on these. The rules have been added/updated/etc. over the past 7 or 8 years and even the admins at times need to go to the page to reference some rules.
A few rules of note:
-6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night. (Only 43 drivers per race gets points)
-27. Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch. (no more pulling right on the track at pit exit or drivers WILL be penalized.)
-32. Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution/pacing!
-36.2. If you intentionally wreck someone under caution/pacing, the minimum penalty will be a 1 race suspension.
-40. If you're the cause of a third caution in a race, you will be parked/removed from the race.
-41. If you continue to cause a decent amount of cautions race after race or even in a single race, you will be subject to a League hearing and further action may be taken!
-56. All AMS league races will be run under the league section (league sessions) of iRacing.
-On starts/restarts, the leader of the race has the choice of going anytime between when the pace car pulls off and green flag.
Most answers to questions can be found on this website or if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to contact an admin, join our TeamSpeak server or post in the Facebook group.
And last but Not least, we have several new drivers this season and we would like to WELCOME you all to AMS and WELCOME back to all existing AMS drivers.
Let's have a Great season and we will see you all on the track.
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 01/11/2016: Thanks to Cameron Hearn on his donation, plus sponsoring the upcoming Cup Series. The 2016A Cup Series will be named The Wounded Warrior Project Cup Series.

Again, until RPM gets their stuff together and gets back up and running, our points/standings will be here http://www.danlisa.com/scoring/league_series.php?league_id=682
Thanks
UPDATE 12/16/2015: I just spent the last few hours getting our points/standings done. All points/standings are accurate with the exception of provisionals.
I don't have the list of provisionals since RPM is still down. To my knowledge, no provisionals have been called since the chase(s) began, so those points are accurate.
Because of the lack of provisionals in the regular season, if you KNOW that you should be in the chase in 1 or more series, or if you are in the chase and KNOW that you shouldn't be, please contact me so I can fix it.
If/when RPM comes back online, our points/standings will be completely accurate including provisionals. Either way, moving forward, I will make sure that I have a backup provisional list so this doesn't happen in the future.
You can get access to this link via the large calendar on the league homepage. http://www.danlisa.com/scoring/league_series.php?league_id=682
UPDATE 12/11/2015: ***Due to iRacing issues, last Tuesdays scheduled Cup race at Michigan has been re-scheduled to Monday 12/28/2015.***
Even though Race Points Manager is still "working on it", we are hopeful they will be back up and running soon. Although the admins can go back and figure out the points manually/all 3 series (and at least get up to date points, especially on the chase drivers), it would be a grueling process, and we will do that if RPM is not back up and running in the next couple weeks.
In the meantime, the schedule has always been on the website http://www.amsleague.com/2015-season-info.html
Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win at Michigan.
Good job.
Next up: December 14th - 16th: Daytona/Road America

UPDATE 11/24/2015: I have freed up some numbers.

With the new surface model (NSM) still being new to us, we want to find a happy medium on what % to start our race sessions.
The IndyCar race session at Richmond was started on a green track, and while it did rubber up some throughout the race, we are considering starting our next race session at around 25% rubbered in.
After a few more days of experimenting, we should have a better understanding of the NSM.
If we decide against 25%, we will update this thread with the % that will be used.
Thanks,
AMS Staff
P.S. Input for the NSM or anything else is always welcome by all AMS drivers.
UPDATE 09/03/2015: *** As long as the new build is released on Tuesday, we will delay our Cup Series race session by 30 minutes to give everyone extra time to download/install the new build. It will open at 9:30pm ET instead of 9:00pm ET.
We will host at least 1 practice/test session around 6 or 7:00pm ET (participation is optional)
If the new build is delayed, and doesn't get released on Tuesday, we will open the session at the regular time, 9:00pm ET. ***
All future updates re: the new build etc. will be updated on the Facebook group.
UPDATE 09/03/2015: We had some really great racing this past week.
Congrats to Kevin Scholefield on his first wins at AMS, Charlotte in the Truck Series and Watkins Glen in the IndyCar Series. Also, Congrats to Craig Embree on the Cup Series win at Darlington.

The new build usually comes out on Tuesday of week 13.
PLEASE give yourself plenty of time to download/install the update.

We will probably host a shortened practice/test race around 6 or 7pm ET to feel things out.
UPDATE 08/28/2015: We had some great racing at Mosport (CTMP) and Pocono. Although we don't say it enough on race nights, we DO appreciate everyone that shows up to race. We have a Great group of racers.

Good Luck to All
Also, reminder of rule #6. Provisionals - 5 for Cup Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Indy Series. If you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for by 9:25pm ET on race night.
UPDATE 08/25/2015: In light of recent developments, Wednesday nights IndyCar Race has been renamed, The Justin Wilson Memorial 60.
UPDATE 08/24/2015: At the time of this posting, IndyCar driver Justin Wilson is in a coma in critical condition. Our thoughts/prayers go out to him and his family.
As a goodwill gesture, one of our drivers has sponsored this weeks AMS Fresh From Florida IndyCar Series race at Pocono and renamed it The Justin Wilson 60. There will be a payout of $5.00 to the winner and $3.00 to second place.
UPDATE 08/19/2015: Bristol was predictively very eventful. A rough Truck race and a rough first half of the Cup race. The second 100 laps of the Cup race went caution free and was even a fuel mileage race. It was fun for some and not so much for others, but we move on.
Again, everyone is still easily in the hunt for the Chase.
Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Truck Series win and to Jeff (Stewart) Joyce on the Cup Series win, both at Bristol.
Great job guys.
Next up: August 24th - August 26th: Mosport/Pocono
Monday - Truck Series - Mosport 35
Tuesday - Cup Series - OFF - our only off week for the Cup Series
Wednesday - IndyCar Series - Pocono 60
Good Luck to All
UPDATE 08/13/2015: Thanks to everyone that showed up to the Daytona races. We had a great 100 lap Cup race, with just 1 caution. The IndyCar and Truck races had a few more cautions than we would like to see, but we're sure that will improve drastically over the next couple weeks.
Congrats to Dalton Baldwin on the Cup Series win and to Tim Matthews on the Truck Series win and to Jeff (Stewart) Joyce on the IndyCar Series win, all at Daytona.
Great job guys.

Attn. new drivers, all drivers need to have a 1 or 2 digit number. The best way to pick a number is to go to the members list at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 and see if your number is available, or pick a different one. It must be a 1 or 2 digit number. The drivers on the list that have 3 digits are drivers that haven't raced with us in over a season or drivers that have yet to pick or be assigned a number.
All league races will be run under "league sessions" on iRacing.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 08/02/2015: We would like to WELCOME all new drivers and WELCOME back all existing AMS drivers.

Starting next week, August 10th, all AMS races will be run through the league section on iRacing.
ALL NEW DRIVERS: Please make sure that you are registered on the RACE Points Manager site http://www.racepointsmanager.com/pm4/league/1687/register and with the league on iRacing. http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27
Many are all set, but there are a few that are registered on one and not the other.
We are slowly getting everyone in their requested car number, if available. If you have a triple digit number next to your name at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 we need to get you into a single or double digit number.
-All drivers are welcome to jump in the Teamspeak server AMS-SA.typefrag.com
-All drivers are required to familiarize yourself with the rules. You will not be quizzed on these. After 8 years, even admins have to reference the page on occasion.
Some rules of note:
6.- Provisionals.
20.- You MUST use a wheel.
27.- Exiting pits under green flag stops, you must enter on the backstretch. (no more pulling right on the track at pit exit or drivers WILL be penalized.)
32. & 36.2 - Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution!
40.& 41.- Causing cautions.
-Teams: If you have a team and would like it added to the team page, please send info (logo, drivers, sponsors etc) to [email protected] and if you have a team with 2 or more drivers competing on a regular basis, we can add a Teamspeak room for your team.
We'd like to see more drivers in each series. It's your league, so if you have friends or just notice some clean racers, feel free to invite them to race with us this season.
We are not a Rookie league, nor are we a Pro/DWC league - therefore the vast majority of iRacers are eligible to race at AMS.
Again, welcome to Season 2015B and we hope everyone has a GREAT season
Thank You,

Kennan Miller and Thomas Conheady are on league probation for 2 weeks for violating rule 1.1. Actions detrimental to AMS, its staff, and/or its members.
While AMS does have a "boys have at it" philosophy, our definition of that is (if you so choose) - race drivers the way they race you, race drivers the way you want to be raced.
Intentionally wrecking someone, affecting the outcome of the race / causing others to be involved is not in the spirit of that philosophy.
We encourage clean racing, but understand that accidents will happen.
The issues with Kennan (Bristol) and Thomas (Talladega) were not accidents.

We would like to thank Hoyt Smith for sponsoring the first half of the season in the Cup Series. We are currently looking for sponsorship for the second half of the season which starts now.
Although we are in our 7th season of running the Cup Series on Thursday nights, we have alot of competition with other leagues that run on Thursdays and our biggest competion (we feel) is the Thursday NIS race.
We would like to hear from AMS drivers via the poll to see if changing to Mondays would allow for more drivers to compete in the Cup Series.
We feel that Tuesdays is perfect for the Truck Series and Wednesdays is fine for our mid-week fun series, the IndyCar Series.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

Although it costs hundreds of dollars a year to keep AMS up and running (not including race payouts), we continue to be a free to race league. NO DRIVER IS EVER REQUIRED OR EXPECTED TO PAY ANYTHING TO RACE AT AMS.
With that being said, donations are always accepted (via link on homepage) and we also have several races available for sponsorship.
To those of you that have donated, sponsored series and/or races, we Thank You and appreciate your generosity.
http://www.amsleague.com/sponsored-racespromos.html
We DEFINATELY APPRECIATE all of the drivers that show up and have raced with us.
If you know of anyone looking to race in a league or maybe talk some friends into trying league racing, feel free to send them our way. We generally accept new drivers throughout the regular season and on a case by case basis once the chase starts.
It doesn't cost AMS any more, whether we have 10 drivers or 50 drivers, plus most drivers would like to race with bigger fields.
Again, if you have any questions/comments/suggestions, you may contact an admin directly or [email protected]
Thank You,
AMS Staff
UPDATE 03/16/2015: ATTN: All AMS league drivers,
Starting with next weeks races at Martinsville, ALL AMS league races will be run under the league section of iRacing, (league sessions).
**This weeks race sessions will be our final week using the hosted section of iRacing.**
Please make sure that you are a registered driver at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 in order to get into AMS league races starting next week.
Also make sure that your car # is correct there. If not, or if you need/want to change your number, please go to http://www.racepointsmanager.com/pm4/league/1687/driveredit to change your number.
If you do change your car number or if your car number is not correct at http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 please respond to this message/email or send a message to [email protected] so that we can correct it.
Remember that at AMS, triple digit car numbers are not allowed. So if your car number is showing a triple digit number, that will need to be corrected.

We had some great racing at Las Vegas and look forward to a great week at Phoenix.
Please keep in mind that we do not tolerate any messing around/contact under caution/pacing. There were a couple of issues during the Truck race and this will serve as a reminder to familiarize yourself with rules 32, 36, 36.1 and 36.2.
Also, we have a poll on the Facebook Group re: when we should start running the new Trucks. Right now the majority is leaning towards the March 17th Pocono race about 1 week after the new Trucks are released.
As always, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact an admin.
Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 02/27/2015: Congrats to Craig Embree on the Truck Series win and to Stewart (Jeff) Joyce on the Cup Series win, both at Atlanta.
We had some good racing at Atlanta and we also had some not so good racing. The Truck race had 10 cautions (too many) while the Cup race had 4.
While none of the drivers at AMS are Pros, we are also not rookies. Car control is one of the biggest things we expect of our drivers. You can't win it early, but you sure can lose it or cause others to lose it.
While we do NOT tolerate drivers intentionally bringing out cautions, we also have rules in place for drivers that bring out too many cautions.
Cautions/wrecks WILL happen. It's just part of hard racing, but we can all do our part to help reduce them.
With that being said, As we get more familiar racing around each other, the races will get cleaner with longer green flag runs and even races going caution free.
Next up: March 3rd - 5th: Las Vegas
Tuesday - Truck Series - Fusion Racing Network 110 - $3.00 to the winner.
Wednesday - IndyCar Series - Las Vegas 110
Thursday - Cup Series - Stewart-Joyce Racing 188 (125 laps) - $5.00 to the winner.

It's getting to be that time of the year to renew our TeamSpeak Server. We have decided to keep Typefrag as the server based on excellent reliability. There are some servers out there that cost less/more, but it's not worth saving literally a few dollars to deal with the frustrations of downtime and unreliable service.
Although our TeamSpeak Server is available free to all AMS drivers to use at anytime, we do depend on donations to keep it up and running.
You can go here link disabled to donate any dollar amount. We Thank You in advance for your support.

This coming Wednesday, Stewart (Jeff) Joyce will be hosting a fun, pre-Turkey Day race that all are invited to participate in. Time/track/car will be announced soon.
And finally, based on a few incidents/violations (including, but not limited to again, intentionally or appearing intentionally bringing out a late race caution/single car spin while being several laps down) in Wednesday nights IndyCar race at Iowa, Rule 1.1 along with 32 & 41, Greg Elliott is suspended from the IndyCar Series for the remainder of the season.
Since Greg is still on probation, any other violations in the forseeable future will be grounds for removal of all AMS events.
Some drivers will understand this ruling while others may not. These decisions ARE NOT made easily. This ruling has been discussed by all admins in the past and was made for the betterment of the league/races.
As a reminder, Under NO condition should rulings or appeals be tried/argued on the Facebook Group.
Thank You,
AMS Staff

UPDATE 01/17/2014: Ams League
Following last nights AMS Cup Series Firecracker 225 at Daytona International Speedway, Ryan Cobb, driver of the #51, will be suspended for one AMS Cup Series race and put on probation for the remainder of the 2013B season for violating rules #36.1, #32 and #1.1. The suspended race will be the Childrens Dream Racer 175 at the Brickyard at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
#36.1: If you spin a car out under caution, you will serve a Five lap penalty and/or a larger penalty...
#32: Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution.
#1.1: Actions detrimental to AMS, its staff, and/or its members.
Marvin Turnmire Jr., driver of the #16, is being given a warning for violating rules #36 and #32. Since it was an accidental incident under caution, it is merely a warning and a reminder to all drivers to be careful under caution.
#36: If you make contact under caution with another car and it's a bump/hit or nudge, you MAY serve a one lap penalty.
#32: Absolutely no wrecking or messing around under caution.
*In the past, when intentional wrecking under caution has happened, the penalized driver has received a 1 race suspension on top of the 5 lap penalty. We have given this to other drivers in the past who have done the same and are just being consistent with our past penalties.
Just a reminder that AMS does not tolerate intentional wrecking under caution/pace laps. We understand that you may get frustrated at another driver(s) at times, but under yellow is not the time to take out those frustrations.

UPDATE 09/10/2013: Ams League
After reviewing the replay of tonight's AMS Truck Series 120 at Chicagoland Speedway, we have determined penalties resulting from an incident occuring on lap 90 between #19 Justin Page and #01 Brent Nicholls. The incident saw Page appear to drive slow and turn up the track with intentions to wreck Nicholls. The two wrecked and afterwards, under the caution period, Nicholls drove his truck into Page's, causing more damage to both trucks and spinning himself out.
Penalties Issued:
#19 Justin Page
1 Week Probation...
#01 Brent Nicholls
1 Week Probation
5 Lap Penalty - Rule #36 (Issued to the final results of tonight's race.)
#05 Robert Peters
1 Week Probation - Rule #32
Also, we'd like to remind people to try to remain calm and be careful with your language during the race, especially if the language is towards another driver. We're all adults and we can all be mature in the race room. If bad language and/or name calling continues and becomes a habit of a driver, we will be forced to levy penalties on them.
Thanks and Good Luck, AMS Staff
Also:Chris Ostrander
My personal thoughts re: last nights Truck Race at Chicagoland. I know myself along with others were embarrassed/disappointed at how the race turned out (almost 50% ran under caution).
Some of us knew going into the race that there will probably be a few more cautions than normal based on iRacings new (loose) Truck setups. Many (not all) of the cautions were due to lack of car control because of this. All of us got loose at times, but many of us were shocked at how many cautions there were at a 1.5 mile track. In the past, Martinsville was the track where we would see more than the usual amount of cautions due to the unique driving style that some drivers have yet to fully adapt to, but a mile and a half track with that many cautions was totally not expected.
Although we are a mature league (all adults), the excessive swearing and bickering back and forth definately went overboard. An occasional swear word is not going to
offend most of us and briefly discussing (if necessary) an incident you have with another driver is fine, but then drop it, and if you feel that more discussion is necessary, please wait until after the race to continue your discussion.
In closing, I would just like to suggest that with these new Truck setups, the more
practice the better going into future races. Also, I, along with AMS would like to apologize to those that had to deal with all of the issues that you had to deal with and moving forward, hopefully we can put this race behind us and move forward with much better racing. Thank You.
Also: Dalton Baldwin
Just to add to that, the trucks are notorious for having loose fixed setups. Some
worse than others. iRacing's season 3 setup for Chicagoland was undoubtably very
loose. I have yet to try the Las Vegas set, but I would not be surprised, seeing as they're similar tracks, if it is as loose as last nights.
To try to help people keep the trucks under control (self spins, etc.) a trick/secret I learned from Byron Daley: When you go into the turn, lift off the gas, but only to about half way. DO NOT lift completely off the throttle. Just back off to half way or wherever you feel comfortable. DO NOT get back to full throttle until the the exit off the turn and you are on the straightaway.
(Honestly, don't even start applying more throttle until you're out of the turn.) Getting back to full throttle as soon as possible is something that just takes practice and experience, and varies from track to track.
In short - Turn in - Let off the gas to half throttle - HOLD at HALF throttle through the turn - At the exit, SLOWLY get back into the throttle. - Once on the straightaway, full throttle.
I'm not sure how many know about driving it this way, but if some don't and are
having problems, this is a good piece of info to try.
Also, this mainly only applies to loose truck setups like the one last night. But it
is almost always a good technique and starting point to drive a truck at a 1.5 - 2 mile track.
AMS would like to announce an affiliate league - SpeedAffair - which will be running a Fixed Setup Gen-6 Series late Sunday nights. This gives us all another option in league racing. Although SpeedAffair is an affiliate league, they do have their own rules/procedures. Please visit http://www.speedaffair.com for more info.

http://www.speedwaymedia.com/ has agreed to limited sponsorship for the 4th straight season. Right now it's looking like Daytona for now with more possibly later in the season. When the details are finalized, it will be posted at http://www.amsleague.com/sponsored-races.html

The Trucks and National Series will be at Iowa, while the Cup Series goes to Kansas for the first time. Good Luck to Everyone this week.
We will be holding our first tryout race of the season this Friday 8pm ET at Michigan in the Trucks.
AMS is officially announcing that there will be NO league fee for next season - 2013 Season #2. (2013b)
Several members have committed to sponsoring races throughout the season (which means that there WILL be payouts for those races).
We will be continuously looking for sponsors and there is also a "donate" button on the leagues homepage http://www.amsleague.com/ where you can specify what race you would like to sponsor. When nothing is specified, we will use some to have payouts for more races and set some aside towards the Championships.
This decision was mainly made for two reasons, 1) most drivers aren't racing for the money (although it is a nice bonus for winning), and 2) we could get some more good drivers that normally wouldn't join a fee to race league.
We will re-evaluate the fee/no fee issue again before 2014 Season #1.
Again, if you know of any clean racers looking for a great league to run in, point them in our direction. We will also be holding more tryout races throughout the next
few weeks.

The new Chevy SS class A Cup car (G6) is scheduled to be released by iRacing in early March. AFTER it is released, we (league drivers) will vote to see if/when we want to start using it.
We of course will start the season in the same class A Cup car that we currently use, but since our season doesn't end until August, many drivers will probably want to use the "new" car before that.
As far as the new Ford Cup car, iRacing is still working on a development project to hopefully enable hosted/leagues to use both in the same race (not multi-class and so everyone can see both if you only own one).
We will keep everyone up to date as we know more (hopefully by early March). Thanks, AMS Staff

UPDATE 12/30/2012: Enrollment for new drivers for next season (2013 Season #1) is now open. 2013 Season #1 starts in February. There will be payouts in every Cup and Truck race.
$10.00 league fee covers all 63 races. (Cup, Truck and National Series)
You may race in as many or as few races as you would like. Some drivers choose 1 or 2 series to run full time and pick and choose races in the other series(s). Some drivers attempt to race all 3 series full time....it's your choice. For more info on next season, click here.
We will be holding tryout races starting this Friday 01/04/2013. Fridays race will be at Atlanta in the Trucks at 9:00pm ET.
If you cannot make the tryout races, you may contact us [email protected] or http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=27 and let us know so that we can spectate a couple of your races.
We are looking for clean racers that are willing to follow the rules. Speed (fast or slow) is not an issue as long as you are a clean racer.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 12/29/2012: Due to popular demand, for 2013 Season #1 we will be replacing the Nationwide Series with the National Series (more short tracks).
UPDATE 12/25/2012: MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS - From AMS Staff
2013 Season #1 will be starting in February. If you know of anyone interested in joining AMS, please let them know.
We are not a "rookie" league, nor are we a "Pro Series" league. With that being said,(for potential new drivers), anyone with a Class A or B license, 1700+ irating and less than an average of 4 IPR will probably be accepted rather quickly. On the other end of the spectrum, Pro Series drivers or drivers with 5000+ irating.... well, staff will vote on that, just as we will with all potential new drivers.
We will be holding tryout races throughout January (days & times TBD). Any driver regardless of class or irating will be allowed to tryout. We may request some drivers to participate in more than 1 tryout race to make sure that we are comfortable with them and them with us.
The above info is for potential new drivers only. Of course ALL existing AMS drivers are all welcome back and encouraged to join 2013 Season #1.
Most info for next season is here: http://www.anarchymotorsportsserver.com/next-season.html
Other than the schedule, the only major change for 2013 Season #1 are the new starting times. The rooms will open at 9:00pm ET and qualifying will begin at 9:20pm ET. This was voted by popular demand via the poll that has been on the website for 3 months. By starting the races 1 hour earlier, may also enable more potential new drivers to join.
This announcement may seem a little early, but there is not alot of time between the end of this season and the start of next season.
Thank You for taking the time to read this. AMS Staff
UPDATE 12/19/2012: Ams League
Again, we would like to thank a benefactor - Brent Nicholls for paying for our 2 hour hosted sessions for all 63 races for 2013 Season #1 just as he did for 2012 Season #2. Thanks Brent
UPDATE 12/18/2012: Ams League
Due to iRacing having technical issues, we have been forced to cancel and reschedule our AMS Truck Series Talladega 85 to January 1st. We know that it will now be on New Year's Day, however we wanted to keep the race on a Tuesday, and that was the only open Tuesday other than Christmas Day for the rest of the season. We apologize for the inconvenience this poses to anyone. We have a list of people that were present for the original date, anyone who can not make the rescheduled date will be given a provisional that does not count against the ones they were originally given for the season.
We try to make sure when things like this happen that people are not inconvenienced from it. Unfortunately, this time it seems that people will be affected, so we've already started and will continue to find better ways to be sure that we have options for every race to be rescheduled without affecting anybody.
UPDATE 12/17/2012: ATTN. AMS members: We have had a 2013 Season #1 info page (Next Season) on the website for some time. Since the new season will be
starting in February, we will be holding tryout/practice races/rooms for potential new members starting January and in February, (dates/times TBD by staff). When we do, we will post the dates/times on Facebook and the league website.
So, if you know of any drivers that would consider racing in AMS, please stay tuned. Thanks, AMS Staff

UPDATE 10/09/2012: http://www.speedwaymedia.com/?p=49272
UPDATE 09/19/2012: Whew..We got through Martinsville. Many of us knew going into that race that it would be the race with the most cautions/wrecks(always has been). It seems like it's one of those tracks that you've either got it or you don't. We also figured that it would be the toughest race to admin, although it went better than expected.
Putting Martinsville aside, we (admins) have to make calls throughout each race rather quickly and be as fair as possible. Nothing's perfect, but we really do try our best.Unfortunately, (unlike NASCAR) we don't have officials/admins that can spectate every race (and not race) to be able to look at every incident/replay instantly. That would be ideal, but finding someone to volunteer to do that every race would be virtually impossible. Paying someone to do that would be an option for future seasons, but without raising the league fee (which nobody wants to do), that would reduce and in some cases eliminate prize money for each race. So for now, we've got what we've got.
As far as the caution rules (#39 & #40), they were put in place to reduce cautions in the race (which they did, sometimes dramatically). Most cautions are usually the fault of one driver more than the other (and alot of those are just from mistakes rather than aggressive/wreckless driving). Very few cautions are a draw. There are times when a caution comes out and an admin asked "what was that caution for?" and nobody speaks up. Sometimes a driver will take fault for a caution not knowing 100% if it was their fault. If a driver does not take responsibility for a caution and during the post-race review it is found to be their fault, they will get penalized for it. Yes, it is a double-edged sword, but if you already have 1 or 2 cautions, it would probably be wise to drive a little less aggressive or wrecklessly. But in the end, it is
up to each driver how they deal with that situation.
In closing, many of our races have seen alot of long green flag runs and good side-by-side racing. I'm confident that us drivers and admins will continue to do our best and learn from our mistakes and others and just make AMS more successful. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 08/20/2012: Special Thanks to Dalton Baldwin for paying extra to extend our Cup (Thursday night) race rooms. As with all of our races, qualifying will still be
at 10:20pm ET, but the Thursday night Cup rooms will open at 8:30pm ET to give drivers extra time for practice.You may join the room anytime after 8:30pm ET, but remember that qualifying is at 10:20pm ET. Thanks
UPDATE 08/20/2012: Effective immediately, the second place finisher in the Cup Series races will receive $2.00. (Any races that are sponsored will have more
payouts as usual)
UPDATE 08/09/2012: We would like to thank Frontstretch.com for sponsoring our Michigan Cup race to be held on August 23rd....the Frontstretch.com 200
UPDATE 08/23/2012: From Frontstetch.com: "First off, on behalf of everybody here at Frontstretch, we'd like to wish all of the competitors in tonight's Frontstretch.com 200 the best of luck!
Second, if it's not too late, we'd like to send the top 3 finishers the following prize packs, courtesy of Frontstretch.com:
1st prize: Limited edition Mechanixwear red, white, and blue gloves & an insulated travel tumbler
2nd prize: Custom Wypall 1/24 sacle diecast, Bass Pro/Bojangles pack (mouse pad, can holders, sunglasses, tumbler cup)
3rd prize: Team Chevy.Hendrick Motorsports pack (mouse pad, towel, water bottle carrier)"
UPDATE 08/14/2012: Just a reminder, Rule #6. Provisionals - (2012 Season #2) - 5 for CUP Series, 4 for Truck Series, 3 for Nationwide Series.
Meaning if you can't make one of the races, you could use one of your provisionals that night. Your provisional will allow you to gain last place points rather than no-showing and getting 0 points. So for example: if there are 24 Racers at the race, you would get 25th place points rather than getting none at all. Provisionals must be called for before 9:59pm ET on race night. If you do need to call for a provisional, you may do so on the Facebook group or at [email protected] Thanks
UPDATE 08/09/2012: We do have a TEAMS page. If you join/create/etc. a team and need info or logo added or changed, please contact [email protected]
We also have a link at the top, click more... for the AMS Forums
UPDATE 08/08/2012: Congrats to Kevin T. for winning the NW Shootout. Many of us had a rough race..4 caution in 50 laps. Restrictor plate races can go either way. Some drivers are better than others at plate tracks, while some are better at non-plate tracks. Also, luck, good and bad plays a role. We will forge through these races and with time we will all get better. Good Luck at the next race.
UPDATE 08/07/2012: Thanks to all that showed up for our first race of 2012 Season #2. Congrats to Kennan for winning the Truck Shootout. We had a great Truck race tonight. 3 cautions...but alot of give and take.
Kevin Ford made a pass on the last lap below (way below) the yellow line going for the win. 1 thing to clear up.....at restrictor plate tracks, you can not pass BELOW the yellow line for position, especially the win. There are a few exceptions such as if a car slams you down there (would be reviewed by admins). Also there are times during the race that cars are 2 or 3 wide and a car may briefly/slightly go below the line to avoid a wreck would normally not be a problem.
If you blatantly go below the line and gain a position(s), you must immediately give back the position(s) or be given a black flag. This is regarding restrictor plate tracks only (Daytona & Talladega). I hope that clears up a few things. If not, feel free to ask an admin any questions. Thanks, AMS Staff
UPDATE 08/06/2012: Open letter to all AMS drivers.
First off, welcome new drivers. This week starts the opening of 2012 Season #2 with the Shootouts (Truck-Tuesday,NW-Wednesday and Cup-Thursday). Although these are non-points/non-payout races, this will give many of us the opportunity to race with each other for the first time.Most of you have registered on Race Points Manager, but some drivers need to log-in http://www.anarchymotorsportsserver.com/league-info.html and pick your number etc. In order to do this, click on edit series and you can go from there.
Remember that you must be a paid driver in order to participate in any league races (many of you are). Some drivers will be paying in the next week so they will be eligible to race when next weeks points races start.
Only a couple rules have changed slightly since last season, namely rule #6 -Provisionals -we have added an extra provisional per series. Also, rules #36 & #39 pertaining to cautions and/or pace laps. Please take the time to go over the rules if you haven't done so already.
Again, welcome new drivers as well as welcome back existing drivers. Hope to have a great/competitive/fun season. Thanks, AMS Staff

2. Aside from tonight, races will be run on Tuesday nights.
3. There will be unlimited fast tows (that does not mean drive like an idiot).
4. It will be fixed setups.
5. Dover and Iowa already have a fixed setup that we will be using.

Update: 04/20/2012: AMS League Announcement:
We have a great league, with drivers of all skill levels. Yes, some races have had more cautions/wrecks than we would like to see, but with time, we feel that with each race, that will get better and better. We are not the iRacing Pro-Series, but we all are trying to do the best that we can.
One issue that the staff and members have is with certain comments etc, that be-littles or puts down the league, the staff or other members. That cannot be tolerated.
We are all here to have fun, yet be competetive to finish the best we can. With that being said, during official league races, the comments/texts should be kept to in race topics. Remember, the league does have a Code of Conduct.
As stated above, we are all here to have fun, yet be competetive. Sure, sometimes if you get wrecked, a quick comment might be said....that's understandable, but any lengthy discusions should wait until after the race.
We appreciate all of the members of AMS and the dedication and profesionalism that has been shown. Thanks, The AMS Staff
