Thursday Night Summer Stampede for Limited Modifieds at TMS 6/23!

Ft. Worth TX (6/3/11) by DarinShort.com. Area Limited Modified drivers are going to get their
chance to take on asphalt racing, when the Thursday Night Summer Stampede series
presented by Smiley’s Racing Products and Hoosier Tire Southwest kicks off on June 23rd  at
Texas Motor Speedway.

The 10-race series will be contested on the ¼ mile asphalt track located on the tri-oval portion
of Texas Motor Speedway.

There is a lot of information for the competitors contained here. Please take a few minutes to
read it, as it will save you a lot of time when you arrive at the speedway:

The Limited Modifieds will be using southern sportmod rules and must use either an IMCA
Hoosier 500 or H500 tire.

Speaking of tires, drivers that have been practicing are finding that even older tires that are
too “used up” to work on dirt are working well on the TMS ¼ mile asphalt track. So this series
could provide racers with a great use for “less-than-perfect for dirt” tires, thus, saving them a
lot of money. Also, your car will stay much cleaner racing on asphalt, saving even more time
and money at the car wash following the races.

A practice night will be held on Wednesday June 22nd (the night before the first Stampede
event) and drivers are highly encouraged to participate. The practice will be held from 6pm-
10pm. The cost is $50 per racecar and that includes driver and crew pit entry for the evening.

On June 22nd, the first 50 race teams registering (in all race divisions) will be parked in the
covered Cup parking garage, which includes lights and electricity. If you choose to leave your
car in the parking garage after practice, you will retain that parking space for the June 23rd
opening race night. If you arrive after 50 teams have been registered, you will pit in the
adjacent ‘Competitor RV’ parking area.

The Limited Modifieds will be competing with the LoneStar Legends and Bandolero’s. Click

LoneStar Legends.

ALL competitors must go through credential office (next to ticket office) to get armband and
pay practice fees before coming to south pit gate tunnel to enter the infield.

You will be parked in the order that you arrive. So if you want to be parked next to someone,
you must arrive together.

On race night (starting June 23rd) pit passes will cost $25 per night per person (all ages).
There is a one-time driver registration fee of $40 – unless you participated in the April 15th
practice night – in which you get a free registration.  You must complete your driver’s
registration and W9 forms in order to receive a pay card. Your pay card will be used weekly to
draw in and to receive payback at the end of the night.

June 23rd, the pits/garage will open at 5pm, with hot laps at 7pm and drivers meeting at 7:
30pm. Grandstands open at 6pm. After June 23rd, the pits/garage and grandstands open at
6pm nightly.
