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.
That's GREAT news!! We don't want ANYTHING to do with UMP up here. Thanks for the info.
Funniest post I've read in a while...thank you
but, money talks bullsh!t walks
true and the last time it was discussed UMP wanted to buy IMCA..lol only for IMCA to turn the table and offer to buy UMP, and thus the meeting went no further.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
