Busy Weekend Coming Up for MDLMS Late Models
by Dusty Wiegert
SALINA, Kan. -- A busy doubleheader weekend for the MidwestDirt Late Model Series is on the horizon as the series heads to two new venues this Friday and Saturday night August 5 & 6.
On Friday night the MDLMS stars will head to the Salina Speedway in Salina, Kansas for their first trip to the fast and newly re-opened 3/8 mile. It will also be the first time in five years that Late Models have raced at the Speedway. Pit gates open at 4:30 with Hot Laps at 7:00 and racing scheduled for 8:00. Admission prices are $15 for adults, kids 6-14 are $5, and kids 5 & under are FREE. Pit passes are $25.
The 30 lap feature event will pay $1,000 to the winner with an additional $50 on top of that along with a random drawing for $50 to a lucky driver, courtesy of Steve's Auto Care, owned by former Late Model driver Steve Foster. The event will pay $200 to start and will also feature a $100 to win Cash/Pole Dash sponsored by G&G Dozer.
On Saturday night the series heads east to the Thunder Hill Speedway in Mayetta, Kansas. This once again will be the first time the series visits the 4/10 mile high banked oval.
