Hello and welcome to the 4th Annual St Jude Race For The Kids! This will be a 4 round event with custom tracks made for each stop of the series that will be starting on May 3rd at 9pm EST (Friday) then every Friday after that for the next 3 weeks. Each track will be revealed roughly 2-3 days before the race each week. All I ask is you please give a $5 (or more) donation to the St Jude charity link that is included in this post. The link below is a link on the official St Jude website, that way no one will worry about the donation actually reaching the charity. If you know someone that is willing to cover your donation please make sure that they include it in the donation memo. I am never one to advocate paying for a series, yet this is something important and a way to give back to a great cause. There will be both an Am and Pro Open class.
What is St Jude?
The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. Over that last 4 years my channel (with the help of this community) we have raised over $29k+ for the charity during the St Jude Play Live Event that lets streamers give back and help out by doing what we love doing. This is the 4th time I am getting the Sim Community involved with a great race series and thank you all for being a part of this and making it as big as it is. You all are amazing and lets hit this $30k goal!
St Jude Donation Link:
Donate here! https://tiltify.com/@motoagogo/motoagog ... 019/donate (Link is direct to St Jude, all donations cannot be refunded and never touch my pocket. Please remember this is for a great cause and lets play for more than bragging rights)
ALSO PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR UID NUMBER AS WELL AS WHO YOU ARE COVERING IF YOU DONATE MORE THAN THE $5 IN THE DONATION DESCRIPTION. THIS YEAR WE ARE CHECKING DONATIONS AND YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE IF YOU DO NOT DONATE OR HAVE SOMEONE COVER YOU.
Race/Qualifying Server and Signup:
Thanks to the amazing people over at RF they have stepped up to be the official host of the 2019 St Jude Race For The Kids!
Signup at: http://racefactorygaming.com/Events
How Qualifying Will Run:
This event will follow the RF National format which means we will have open pro and rookie qualifying where the top 36 will go straight to the Motos. Then we will have a two lap LCQ for 37th+, and will have the top 4 to Motos for each class. With a really short 2 lap LCQ it will make the racing exciting for the last few trying to make it in!
After each round of racing if you are seen to be in a class lower than your speed you will be moved up in the series. Please this is for bragging rights and a good time for charity, not a championship.
Track Links will be placed here as each track is released:

Prizes!!!
So far all I have to offer is a Motoagogo T-Shirt to the winner of each class. If you wish to add to the prize pool please let me know!
Stream:
I will be streaming the event over at http://www.twitch.tv/motoagogo yet one thing different about this years stream compared to the first year is that we will actually have the children of St Jude's Children's Hospital watching the event, so please be on your best behavior and I will not allow any foul language or poor sportsmanship during this series. Remember we are doing this for an amazing cause and we are here to have fun! Also I will be streaming all throughout the month of May for St Jude, the play live event lasts from April 28th through May 31tst so if you wish to stop by the channel during the event I would appreciate it.
Huge thank you to:
Track Builders: Bradley Clay, Dcope, Evan Webb (AtlasZoor), Jakob Hubbard, and RF for the series.
Also huge thank you to JLV for giving us a great game to have a series like this!
