IMCA adds another track in Michigan (Winston Speedway)

Winston Speedway under new ownership for the 2020 racing season with Dean Wilkerson and family running the show has decided to add IMCA modifieds to the weekly line up. Looks like UMP is fading faster and faster in the Wolverine state.

Merritt Speedway Merritt Mi. ( B-mod )

Mt. Pleasant Speedway Mt Pleasant Mi. (B-Mod)

Mid Michigan Raceway Park Palo Mi. (open modified)

Adventure Mountain Raceway Greenland Mi (Wissota Midwest mod rules)

trend may continue as costs for running UMP only go up. although I like the Mod rules at Mt. Pleasant.

Rumor has it MT Pleasant may be going IMCA as well..

MI B Mod rules seem like a cool deal, crates are NOT forced on everyone like UMP B Mods. UMP costs are crazy and it has to slow down at some point. I suspect UMP will start pushing the CT525 and suggesting that this will save money for everyone, but leaving out the point that UMP will make money on everyone purchased. Then if enough people don't switch they might alter the rules a tad like IMCA to entice others go with the crate.Really if UMP would go to an IMCA type tire this would help bring costs down....but I fear they are going to go the crate angle with CT525 instead.
