rebelracewriter Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 The next weekend March 14-15 the USMTS Southern Series will make a stop at the Saratoga Speedway in Corpus Christi, TX for the first ever USMTS Texas Nationals. This race will be a complete show each night and will pay $2000 on Friday and $2500 to win on Saturday. The first race of the USMTS southern series took place two weeks ago and three different winners in three nights of racing.

After the first three races Johnny Bone has a one point lead over Eddie Martin with Scott Drake sitting three points out of the top spot. A total of sixty-three different cars raced the first southern series race in Texas. A open practice will be held on Thursday night starting at 6:30 pm and going non stop until 10pm.

hubb44 Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Your story brings up an interesting point. There was no mention of this show Saturday night when the speedway opened their regular season and word has it that the promoter of the series and the track have not reached an agreement as yet. Maybe you need to contact someone at the speedway. 361-767-7676 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerneracehounds50 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hubb,From my understanding,the race was canceled due to a large usmts show at west plains in missiouri,so due to low car count and running into problems,Todd Staley is looking at running the show may 2nd and 3rd and the guys will pull up to waco/Bellmead for the sunday show on the 4th,$2000 to win each nite.

rebelracewriter Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hubb, That was direct from the USMTS web site, but BRH50 is correct, that show has been postponed until May. Sorry for any confusion, there have been several other USMTS races with the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
