$50,000 Cedar Lake June 15-17 MODIFIEDS

[jhanson]

I'm just back on the board so maybe this has already been discussed. How many of you fans are coming to Cedar Lake for the $50,000 to win mod show on June 15-17 ?
Also, how many mod drivers will come to Cedar Lake to compete for the $50,000 top prize ? names ?

I will be there. I was at Farly Speedway on May 13 and saw Kyle Strickler win 50 thou in a Longhorn Chassis. By the way , it was a modified special with IMCA rules enforced.

[Forward Bite]

So is anyone else going to Cedar Lake ?, or is it too far North ?

[Forward Bite]

No response to this thread. Okay, who is not going ?

[Forward Bite]

Are you still around Jim Hanson ? If so, are you going to Cedar Lake ?

[Forward Bite]

Who is going to be the driver with the best chance of winning the 50 thousand ? I say Cade Dillard.

[jhanson]

Are you still around Jim Hanson ? If so, are you going to Cedar Lake ?
I only live 63 miles from Cedar Lake so I do not camp, but they have great camping. I probably will only be there Saturday evening. I sit just off turn #2 on the backstretch in a director's chair. The bleachers are hard on my legs.
I see that the Ogilvie, Minnesota speedway is having the USMTS mods on Wed. June 14 as a make-up for a big mod show they had washed out. Ogilvie, MN is around 80 miles from Cedar Lake Speedway, so putting the two sites together, you have racing 4 nights in a row. Pray for no rain.
Blessings,
Jim Hanson

[Forward Bite]

Good to know you are still around here. Do you know who all are entered for the big money race ?

[jhanson]

Sorry, I don't.

[Forward Bite]

I am betting Ricky Thorthon jr , Kyle Strickler, Ryan Gustin, Rodney Sanders, Cade Dillard, Jason Hughes, and Terry Phillips will be there.

[Forward Bite]

Be cool to see Clayton Wagamon show up and race.

[Forward Bite]

After watching the USMTS race at Deer Creek , Josh Angst could be the one to win the 50 grand. The kid goes for it.

[Forward Bite]

Does anyone know if Michael Long is going to race for the 50 thousand dollars ?

[31KMOD]

My $$ is on 2 twenty eight of Mars

[Forward Bite]

You think Mars will be there ?

[31KMOD]

I believe so...

[31KMOD]

I believe so... Car belongs to Gerdes

[Forward Bite]

Has anyone seen a list of the drivers entered ? I mean the race is coming soon and I do not know who all are entered. For all I know Jimmy Owens may show up in a Loose Gruuf Chassis.

Pre-Entry list should be out late today or tomorrow sometime

[Forward Bite]

Great ! I will be waiting impatiently.

[Forward Bite]

I just read the press release posted on this site about Jimmy Mars recently racing his own #2 modified. He must be getting serious about the $ 50000.

[Mud]

Jimmy Mars and Craig Thatcher have both said that they will race.

[Mud]

Should be a ton of MB Customs Mods there since many of jimmys late model customers also own one of his Mods.

[Forward Bite]

I agree, there will be a bunch of MB Customs . To be competitive in USMTS , it looks like you need an MB. I just wonder if any UMP racers dare to show up at Cedar Lake.

Impressive list of mod racers, but where are the UMP racers ?

[Mud]

This is a list of drivers pre registered as of 6/12 per USMTS

[TUTY]

$400 entry fee if before March 31st, it's a $500 entry fee right now. That's crazy, $200 To non-qualifiers of the last chance qualifiers, $350 to C-Main non-qualifiers, $500 to B-main non-qualifiers. I'd race a home track for $700 to win also.

[Forward Bite]

I am surprised Michael Long is not entered. He has run well in UMP and IMCA.

[Forward Bite]

Is there any driver not entered that you all want to see race ?

[Forward Bite]

I see Jake Timm beat the USMTS pros on Wed. at Oglivie . We just may see a surprise winner take the 50000 dollars at CLS. There could be late entries from a bunch of racers who ran so well at Oglivie.

[Forward Bite]

Wow ! So Zack Vanderbeek wins the USMTS race Thursday. I would love to see the qualifying heats on Friday, but cant make it till Saturday. Hope all racers can keep from wrecking. I want to see everyone race Saturday.

[Forward Bite]

Has anyone heard anything from Cedar Lake ? Will they get the Friday program completed ?

[Forward Bite]

By golly, they did get the program completed. Josh Angst to start from the pole.

[Mud]

Jimmy Mars knocked out of race on thursday while leading by lap car, with 3 laps to go. Bad call by officals.

[Forward Bite]

What a shame ! He will be one to watch. Should be fun to watch Kyle Strickler make it into the feature..

[dirtkart30]

any updates ??

[drich24]

Jimmy Mars knocked out of race on thursday while leading by lap car, with 3 laps to go. Bad call by officals.

Actually, it appeared Jimmy flat out mis-judgeded the speed of the slower lapped car on the backstretch. At the last second he hit the brakes and basically squarely and fairly lightly hit the rear of of the lapped car and then spun around. Didn't appear to be any damage to either car. I don't think it was a bad call.

Jimmy is one my favorite drivers and I was watching him when this happened and they showed the replay numerous times on the track's big screen It sucked, but that is how I saw it.

[Forward Bite]

Too bad the rain played havoc with the race. I felt sorry for Kyle Strickler getting into a wreck in the B. He sure was flying around the high side in the C. Ryan Gustin was leading the 70 lap feature before the rain shut down the race last night. I left the track at 10 PM..

[Forward Bite]

Well, Ryan Gustin won the 50000 thousand. There were only a couple of Hughes chassis entered, but a Hughes chassis ended up in victory lane. Will be interesting to see who wins next year. I hope the weather is better.

[Scott Boesel]

Really wish more ump guys would have tried it guys like Gilpin, Harrison,Curl or Mickinny

[Forward Bite]

I was thinking the same. Maybe next year the UMP racers will show up.
