UFo 2011 Tour Now Blasts Off At Tyler County on April 9!

(MARS PA) – Extremely cold weather has forced the cancellation of the UFo “Chiller Thriller” at Mercer Raceway Park for March 26 as well as the March 27 rain date. The 2011 UFo Race Championship Tour will now begin with the $4,000 to win “Topless 51” on Saturday night, April 9 at the Tyler County Speedway.

The “Topless 51” will be the 1st of 4 UFo Super Late Models invasions on the high banks of the Tyler County Speedway in 2011, on Saturday night, April 9. The “Topless 51” will feature the UFo space cars without roofs for the only time on the UFo Race Championship 2011 tour.

The “Topless 51” will feature an Area-51 lap UFo Super Late Model championship paying $4,000 to win, $350 to start, and $150 to all non-qualifiers that complete a lap on the track. No car entry fees will be charged to the Super Late Model drivers to compete in this event. The FASTRAK pro-Late Models, TSMA E-mods, TSMA Hot Mods, Mod-Lites, Eco-Flyer 4-cylinders and junior-age Mini-Wedges will also be on the racing program.

The UFo Super Late Models will run without roofs at this event. Race teams are permitted and recommended to seal off the top of the roll cage halo with sheet metal. Standard UFo/Tyler County car rules apply. GM 602 and 604 crate motor cars will not be permitted to compete with the Super Late Models since Tyler offers a separate class for those cars.

Tyler County, under the leadership of Circle Track Management Group, has become a stronghold in the UFo galaxy of race tracks. Tyler County will be the site of 4 UFo Race Championship events in 2011 including the “WV State Championship” on Friday night, September 2 which will proceed the $50,000 “Black Diamond” on Saturday night September 3. Previous UFo Race Championship winners at Tyler include defending “Topless 51” champion Paul Wilmoth, Jr. of Clarksburg, WV, Jared Hawkins of Fairmont, WV, Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, IA, Zack Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV and Tim Dohm of Cross Lanes, WV.
