I am happy that the Iowa Cup is being organized again this year. I feel that linking local races together as a series can only help but increase the attendance and competition. You can check out the race schedule and current standings at the official Iowa Cup Blog Spot.
I am not sure what you win this year, but I most enjoy watching riders progress up and down the standings throughout the year.
In the Cat 3 division, there is a 3 way tie for first and second, so really too early to make any predictions. Not all of the contenders are listed just yet, either, as the series has just begun. Ryan Jacobsen was the most consistent at the first two IC events and Derek Cassaday had the most impressive win.
Sean Walker won last year's Cat 1/2 division, but Jared Osterloh and Ryan Nenninger seemed poised to prevent a repeat victory.

The third race in the Iowa Cup series is this Saturday. This is a great race, well organized with decent payouts. I will be racing in the 50 mile Cat 3 event.
I imagine after the results are posted for this race, the future Iowa Cup winners will be listed somewhere amongst the leader boards of their respective divisions, as it would be difficult to win the series missing the first three races. Upgrades, absenses, late season dominations, etc, make this a very interesting race series, usually not officially decided until the last one or two races. Check back to see how this Saturday's race affected the placings.
