Date Set for UFo “Mega-Speed” at Hesston!

(MARS PA) – The 2011 UFo Race Championship tour finale has been set. The Hesston Speedway will present UFo “Mega-Speed” on Saturday, October 22.

UFo “Mega-Speed” will feature twin 28-lap UFo Super Late Model features paying $4,000 total to the winner. The track’s Limited Lates will also be competing in a 28 lap championship race, giving fans a triple thrill of 3-28 lap late model features. The UFo twin feature format always provides excellent racing and gives drivers two chances to win feature payoffs. With each feature awarding ˝ feature points, UFo “Mega-Speed” could tighten up the points race. Additional classes for UFo “Mega-Speed” will be announced. This initial version of UFo “Mega-Speed” will be the basis of a major fall event at Hesston.

Hesston Speedway will become a major force in Super Late Model racing in 2011 with 4 major Super Late Model events, including UFo “Triple TNT” on May 29 and UFo “Mega-Speed.” The 4/10 mile track is undergoing further improvements for 2011 including improved banking on the racing surface, expanded fan parking and seating and a relocated outer pit area.
