This is a full points night for all LSS points divisions, and the FWD 4-Cylinders will round out the 4-division racing card.
This is the first USMTS event at LSS in five years (the past two were rained out), and race fans can expect to see many of the nation's finest Modified drivers taking on the strong contingent of LSS Modified drivers who are poised to defend their home turf.

The new FWD 4-Cylinder division will round out the 4-division program.
