    Hi, i'm Steve, I raced for a few years back using nascar3 and rfactor. My wife passed in 2014 and I just got out. Would really like to get back in but I have no clue how to do anything as far as track loading or car skins. Not necessary to race this year but would love to be able to join the Thursday practices for now. Please let me know if I am eligible.

    You're welcome to join us on a Thursday night. Track loading is much easier through the Steam Workshop. We can help you get RF2 setup, templates etc for a custom skin or one of the guys can paint one with the theme you'd want. Feel free to drop in our teamspeak server, address is happy-hour-racing-league.teamspeak3.com Send me a message here if you have questions.

    Steve, hope to see you soon!

    Tomorrow 8:40 EST is our Thursday night practice for the first of three HROC races this season. The HROC serious is a fun 3 event series we run on our usual Monday time for the weeks NASCAR doesn't have an event. Usually each event has several sprint races with qualifying order based on inverted HHRL season points, details to be sorted out soon.

    For this HROC event we are considering using the Stock Car Resurrection vehicles at Joesville. This is a great opportunity to drop in and race with us!

    We are about halfway through the regular season and we've had some great racing! Feel free to stop in our teamspeak3 server (happy-hour-racing-league.teamspeak3.com) Thursday evenings at 8:40 EST during our practice sessions to join. There's still opportunity to make the playoffs.

    This week I've added a custom HHRL pace car to the RF2 steam workshop. Search "HHRL" and subscribe. An HHRL carset is in the works too.

    To join our server you'll need to subscribe to the weekly track, the HHRL Pace Car, Stockcar 2015, and the 2017 SCSR carset.

    We just had a great event at Indy last Monday night with some great racing throughout the entire race. Thank you to Heath Johnson for broadcasting the race and posting it on his YouTube channel (link here)!

    Be sure to check out more of Heath's racing coverage of HHRL and SCSR events and subscribe to his YouTube channel here.

    The 2017 HHRL Carset is now available in the RF2 steam workshop!

    The regular season is nearing the end with the race tomorrow evening at Darlington (Brookdale) and then Richmond (Northside) on Monday.

    After those two races we start the championship chase! Not too late to join, stop in our teamspeak channel, info is posted above.

    Hi Ben, sorry this page had old information, I just updated it with the latest. We ran a couple 20 lap practice races last night. To join the server make sure you're subscribed to these: 2019 HHRL Carset, HHRL Pace Car, Atlanta Motor Speedway from the Steam Workshop. If you have any issues let me know. Have you raced in cup leagues before?

    We are now using Discord for voice and text chat. Here's the invite link https://discord.gg/nWr4Tp9
