USLMA is an asphalt late model series. In fact it may be the largest this side of the Mississippi.

[arts22]

They have 44 registered drivers for the 2006 season. Their next race is May 6th at Colorado National Speedway(awesome facility). There will be 30+ cars at that race...... Whats that series doing to get so many teams?

[txtom]

They have several things going in their favor--

 

Geography. Look at where the racers are from, and at the tracks available to them. A guy living in Colorado is down to about 2 or 3 tracks (asphalt) within a few hundred miles. The 3 number would include Sandia. Then think about the expense of driving down here.

 

Here is a list of the bodies they can run:

The following are examples of approved models eligible for competition: Buick 1996-1999 Regal, Chevrolet 1996-2006 Monte Carlo, Dodge 2001-2005 Intrepid, 2005-2006 Charger, 1996-1999 Avenger, Ford 1998-2005 Taurus, 2006 Fusion, 1996-1997 Thunderbird, Oldsmobile 1996-1998 Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac 1996-2006 Grand Prix

What does that have to do with it?

They don't make someone stay home because they don't have the ABC body.

 

They also have a few other cost items, such as a requirement for a point ignition. No crank trigger. maybe a little primitive to some, but cost effective to the guys who race them. (We ran 'em for years with no problems)

They also have a tire purchase rule that keeps the "new tire practice" down to a minimum.

 

I know a few guys in that series, and they like the way they are treated by the series, the officials are not afraid to make calls, and the tech officials make their calls without interference from series management.

 

NOTE-I am NOT implying anything here. Just posting what I am told by guys i know who run there.

Thanks for the info..... they're doing something right.

 

Congrats to Corey Roper, finished 3rd in the race.....
