USRA Modifieds Info for 2018

January 29, 2018

USRA Modified drivers, here is some helpful information about the 2018 racing season at the Hamilton County Speedway...

We will utilize USRA "Alternative" Modified rules. If you raced at the Hamilton County Speedway in 2017 you are 100% legal again in 2018 and these will be the rules that will be used all season and the next few seasons of our contract.

The USRA "open" Modifieds are welcome, but must remove the spoiler and add 50 pounds if running aluminum heads.

The biggest thing we would like to see changed in this class is for every driver to use the American Racer racing tire to get you eligible for the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points funds. The guaranteed track points funds will be paid no matter which tire you run.

Rules and information will be handed out at the driver's meeting Saturday, Feb. 3, along with sign-ups for cement pit slabs, USRA licenses and more.

We hope to see you in 2018 at the Hamilton County Speedway.
