Please forgive the lack of proper information. My presentation skills are lacking, and I intend to return to this later.

If you know of me, you'll know that I run some offline leagues within what is called the TM Universe, the setting based on Cynon's TM Master Cup Series. My leagues take place under two different American sanctioning bodies that exist separately from Master Cup. Federated Auto Racing Championships (FARC) and American Stock Car Championship (ASCC).

FARC is my older league, a Midwestern sanctioning body whose national tour emphasizes short track racing and drivers of diverse backgrounds and... skill levels. FARC's leadership is infamous for trying something crazy every other season, such as trips to Europe and Japan (Hey, ARCA West did it in the '90s...), a convoluted playoff system that only saw one year, and more than one rain race on an oval. Still, FARC has enjoyed great success in the years after the stock car split, going from a near laughingstock to a hotbed of untapped talent for the higher ranks.

Yes, there was a stock car split, occurring back in 2010 when a significant number of older American TM Master Cup teams defected in protest of Cup's increasing international footprint, going on to revive the Southeastern American Stock Car Championship. ASCC is the second league I run, having borrowed it from Cynon. ASCC is marketed by its media giant owners (and their advertisers) as America's superior stock car series, with a primarily Southern presence and a championship that is contested with a playoff format on most of America's superspeedways. However, ASCC's boasts of supreme talent have been challenged by many yellow-filled events and the immediate success of the FARC drivers who have moved up to the series in recent years.

As of this writing, the current season is 2021. It is a reset of sorts, inside and outside the fourth wall. In-universe, racing has returned after a zombie pandemic (yes, really), and behind the scenes, I have moved from editing and posting video recaps, which I eventually had a horribly difficult time getting myself to do, to live streaming every race on YouTube, joined by a peanut gallery on Discord and hosted by what I'm pretty sure is NR2003's first Vtuber.

More information and signup opportunities will be coming, for anyone here who would like to enter. I will be running 7 combined championships under the FARC and ASCC banners; the national tours are the FARC Lowe Dollar Series and the (try saying this quickly) ASCC Cotnam All-American Racing Series Fueled by Donnie's Great Big Deals, and while the season is underway and full-time entries have already been decided, I will be accepting part time and one off cars all year.

Also underway are the ASCC East and West Series, ASCC's development series that race the same cars as FARC, complete with a few crossover races. FARC's ladder starts in late model racing, and I am still looking for full time entries in the two FARC regional tours: The Super Series, which holds races from the upper Midwest to the East Coast, and the Tornado Alley Tour, which races up and down the central US and currently sanctions FARC's crown jewel Rockford 200 in Illinois every November. Also, in one of FARC's latest harebrained schemes, the inaugural FARC M-Pire Rent-A-Car Challenge will be contested at select Lowe Dollar Series weekends, featuring regular people with no racing experience slinging rental cars around for a chance to start the following Lowe Dollar race in a specially prepared car.

Every race stream will be archived on YouTube, and you can watch in the playlists below.

Be warned that the peanut gallery chat will not be for everyone, as there are many different personalities on the call. A general language and hot button subject warning is in effect, but this group does enforce zero tolerance for the bigotry that has unfortunately flared up in our culture in recent years.

This coming Sunday, October 2, will be the live stream of the Nashville 500 for the ASCC All-American Series, the first race in which the four division point leaders will fight for a spot in the Playoffs!
