Heard a rumor that DirtCar was trying to buy IMCA from the Roots. Anyone else heard this?

talked to Brett and this RUMOR is entirely FALSE. IMCA is going nowhere and wants ZIP to do with UMP.

The Smiths have backed IMCA for many years.JMO

IMCA has plenty of cash, I suspect UMP was a little stunned when IMCA turned them table on them and countered with an offer to buy UMP lol

I like the underdog... little ol' USRA/USMTS. Best purses for Mods, best racing on dirt and you don't have to run a foreign built crate motor. IMCA gets car count but fans don't go out of their way to watch them unless buds with or related to a driver.

There should be a front gate variable in all of this somewhere...

USRA has some things going would like to see them move east and do battle with ump so there would some options other than ump.

It would also help if you actually had a modified!

team Jarvis: can you elaborate any on this. Not disputing, just curious since I race USRA. I do know that Todd at our 3-day show in Las Cruces ,NM was saying in our drivers meeting that some of the shocks that were being used were to be outlawed the week after our show. He named off a few shocks and something called "pass thru shocks" which I don't even know what he is talking about. We also had USMTS there so maybe he was referring to that sanction. Thanks

Thanks have not heard the shock deal but what I know is last year at some of the big usmts show there were some Rf control arms that were lets say extra long and a few racers took notice. i dont know how this was addressed in the end.

Y'all need to check out Renegades of Dirt on the East coast. They're quickly building into one of the top tier sanctioning bodies for modifieds... big purses, real teching, and more and more big name drivers traveling to hit up their events.

Are those like our emods or are those the Big block mods? If they're the big block type of car we want nothing to do with that. We'll run limited Late Models instead.

The Renegade series runs emod style cars.
