We recently met with Jim Curtis of Thompson Raceway Park to discuss adding an '8.90 heads-up index class' to run at the track and the
meeting went extremely well to say the least. We will be having a 'test session' in early May and if we have a good showing Jim Curtis
will be adding the 8.90 class to run on all of Thompson Raceway's ASPHALT WARS dates!!! (final dates to be announced) Below are the rules

I was hoping the rules would be a little different so some of the UMTR North stick shift cars could race in this program. Good luck with it. Jim Curtis and his staff are the best people to work with. I will be there to watch as long as the race dates aren't on my UMTR North dates.

Dennis,

No problem just let me know when or if you need help.

Gerry,

I've been on here for a little bit figured i would register and share my 2 cents for anybody that needs help.If my junk was fast enough to run the class and i didn't have to work Saturdays i would try it out.

Later Mark.
