I'm hearing possibly Casey Noonan. Same kind of deal for Devin Shiels.

I believe the AELMT Facebook page has listed Brian Ruhlman as confirmed.

Anyone know the status on the Berlin event. I'm assuming they are putting dirt down again, of course. What else do they have scheduled

by the looks of the schedules this year once berlin puts dirt down they will have 2 Ethanol LM/MOD shows and 1 sprints on dirt show, doesn't look like there is any chance of a WoO date being added this year, the Ethanol championship night is on Oct 7th so they will be competing with Eldora's UMP fall nationals hopefully that $10,000 purse will draw some more cars up this way

Don't be surprised if you see 40 LMs for opening night at i96 in a little over a week.

I spoke with Chuck Noonan yesterday, and they are, in fact, going to run the entire AELMT schedule.

Maybe Jeep will drop in for a few of these. He had them on the schedule last year but he didn't make it to most of them.

Might see some more Ohio/Indiana guys with a couple of races down there. I saw that the Wiles boys plan on running the series,at least to start. Possibly Fairbanks also. Pretty cool series they have going for the guys up here in Michigan that have been kinda negelcted over the years.

I foresee it taking over the ALMS series in a few yrs and expanding to atleast 1 to 2 new tracks each season. Isn't the June 14th Merritt race the first night of SN?

yes June 14th is the Brownstown openerThe june 14th race at merritt is 10k to win! Hope they get a good car count. I am planning on make the trip up for that show! It is also the first time the late model tour will join the new american ethanol ump mod tour at the same track!

looks like you might be able to take Schlenk off the list he just posted he will be running ALMS Friday at Attica, doubt he would miss the first race of the tour if he plans on running for points

Will Austin Dillon show up to race a few this year? Didn't he race in one or two last year?

He raced the event at Tri City which I think Cup was also at Michigan that coming weekend.
