Hook's RPM Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 This week at Royal Purple Raceway, Express Racecars presents the Western Flyer USRA HotMods which will use 2012 Battleground Speedway Limited Modified rules. They are the same as 2012 Southern Sport Mod rules with a couple of minor exceptions. Hard tires only. Either stamped 500s or H500. Thursday night pays $500 to win, Friday night pays $600 to win and Saturday night pays $900 to win PLUS for racers who did not compete in USMTS Modifieds in 2011 and will not compete in a USMTS Modified at this week's show either, there is a bonus payout to the top cars. The first Limited Modified-only racers across the flag get an extra $100 on Thursday and Friday and that goes to $200 on Saturday. Each night also has a $100 hardcharger award thanks to Express Racecars of Lafayette, Louisiana. The A-mains pays $50 to start on Thursday, $60 to start on Friday and $100 to start on Saturday. In addition, any Limited Modified driver who races all three nights will not have to pay an entry fee. AND, any Limited that races all three nights and does not make Saturday night's A-main also gets $100! Those that miss Thursday night's race will have to pay ONE $50 entry fee to race the rest of the weekend (Friday and/or Saturday). Race time is 7PM on Thursday & Friday and 5:30 on Saturday. Only 2 classes racing. Pit pass is $35 each night or get a 3-day pass for $100. Wednesday is practice night and that costs a $20 pit pass.

Hook's RPM Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) All set to try again this week! RESCHEDULED for THIS THURS-FRIDAY-SATURDAY, February 23-25 with practice Wednesday the 22nd! Today's 10-day forecast is the best forecast yet since weather.com/Weather Channel had forecasts available for this year's USMTS Texas Spring Nationals for either last weekend's or this weekend's make-up dates! Looks like just a 30% chance of r--- on Thursday morning between midnight & noon and that's it all the way from now through Sunday! With the paved pits helping of course, I got a feeling that the Spring Nats will go on as scheduled this week, practice and all!!! Let's hope it holds like that. 10% chance on Thursday night, 0% on Friday & Saturday night! That's what we've been wanting to hear!!! http://www.weather.com/weather/narrative/USTX0087 Edited February 21, 2012 by Hook's RPM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think a 3 day pit pass would be better than a $5.00 savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook's RPM Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think a 3 day pit pass would be better than a $5.00 savings. Maybe... but show me a similar no entry fee purse for Limiteds somewhere your pit passes average $33 a night? Some will choose to do the $35 a night instead. It's more of a convenience deal than a $$$ saver anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook's RPM Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 TONIGHT sets you Limited Modified-Southern Sport Mod-HotMod guys up for the weekend deal of NO entry fee for being there all three nights and the $100 back no matter what happens to you on Saturday. That gets the drivers pit pass money for the three days back at least. If you can't be there tonight, or you leave Friday and come back on Saturday, it's a $50 entry fee and you'll have to make the A main on Saturday in order to get that $100 then. $150 swing for some teams so the special effort required to make it TONIGHT is well worth it.
