IMCA open-wheel modifieds racing in 2008 at Volunteer Speedway
http://www.volunteerspeedway.com/
BULLS GAP, Tenn. — After hearing from competitors gauging their interest regarding Volunteer Speedway running open-wheel modifieds in 2008, under International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) sanctioning/rules ... the decision has been made. "The Gap" will be bringing back open-wheel modified racing in 2008.
In talking with IMCA, at least for the 2008 racing season they are willing to work with Volunteer Speedway and the competitors' to allow any UMP-legal chassis to compete. However, the rules the class will follow will be strictly IMCA, thus meaning quick-change rearends will not be permitted. Otherwise, really any UMP-legal open-wheel modified in the East Tennessee region would be able to race. Also, the sanctioning body is going to work with race teams regarding engine rules for 2008. The class will run IMCA-legal tires (one-compound), too.
Stay tuned here on the Web site for more information to be released regarding the IMCA-sanctioned open-wheel modifieds. But all East Tennessee (plus neighboring states of North Carolina and Kentucky) race teams, be preparing for your return to racing at Volunteer Speedway. It's very important that race teams show up in good numbers to support the decision to revive open-wheel modified racing at "The Gap."
***Note: In order to give all regional racers time to get their race cars ready, the first race night for the IMCA open-wheel modifieds will be the first Saturday night in April.
