    Dear Fellow Promoter and Racers,

    We are excited to announce the REVOLUTION SUPER LATE MODEL SERIES based out of Morgantown, WV!

    The REVOLUTION concept is planned with the out-of-control tire bills dirt racing teams are experiencing on a weekly basis.After speaking with HUNDREDS of dirt racing teams throughout the tri-state area over the winter, the biggest concern for the weekly and regional super late racer was tire expense.

    With that in mind, we have decided to create a regional super late series that will DRASTICALLY cut tire expenses by utilizing a spec compound rule of Hoosier 1600 on right rear, 1350 all other corners.

    PERIOD.

    Those are harder compounds which will have much longer life saving the racers money. They will know EXACTLY which tires to race with at each event, eliminating the scores of tires normally necessary to be competitive. Also, we believe this will allow the weekend warrior who doesn't have top-tier horsepower to compete as well as the CT525 sealed crate engines, steel block engines etc. since the hard compound on the right rear will limit grip.

    So, we have proposed an ideal way where the weekly racer can compete regionally for a good purse without spending thousands on race tires. A program where the race winner isn't decided by money and horsepower alone. This is going to require the winner to drive straight, keep the car under him and a little finesse with that right foot...just like back in the good old days of dirt track racing.

    We have included an attachment of proposed purse structures. You will notice we are not necessarily interested in the Dolly Parton-type purse structures. The traveling racer is more concerned with start money than top heavy winners share.


    REVOLUTION SUPER LATE MODEL SERIES is a brand new regional touring series. We understand
    we have to prove ourselves to some degree. We are very confident that this series and its rules, particularly tire rules, is rooted in sound financial principles-- taking away,for competitions sake, the huge advantages those with unlimited tire budgets and unlimited horsepower has over the weekend warrior. As a promoter, ask yourself this?---how many of your loyal locals attempted to qualify for the big race at your last nationally sanctioned event? Or worse, how many qualified? As the years go by, less and less locals show up for bigger races because they can't afford to buy “their” tires and they know they can't compete.

    Can a spec tire rule save the racers money, boost car counts at your bigger shows and put more butts in the stands? We feel confident the answer is YES! And we are basing this on months of conversations with local racers who travel off-and-on and simple arithmatic, from a racers point-of-view.

    As a former car owner, I am well aware the dreaded tire bill. But we can change this issue.

    Now. Before we price our super lates right out of business.

    Do you have the courage to think outside the box?

    Please contact me, preferably by email at your convenience to book dates for the 2016 season.
    Racers, we'd love to hear from you, too.

    Thanks,

    Jimmy Henry

    Why a hard spec tire rule?
    --Drastically cuts tire bill
    --Car count increase at series events because horsepower
    isn't as important if you can't put it to the ground.
    --Puts driver back in charge of winning races.
    --Minimize "around the bottom"and locked-down tracks
    --Side-by-side-racing...remember that?

    ****UPDATE RULES INFO***

    After a lot of further debate the decision has been made for this tire rule:

    1600 right rear
    1325 rf
    1325 lr
    Open lf

    We want to make it as easy as possible to race with us yet not make it so you have to carry 20 tires to do so.
    We are also VERY concerned about keeping costs down. After much discussion and debate, the rules above will stand.

    Thanks to those car owners, racers and promoters who spoke with us last night. It is exactly because of conversations like that that took place last night why we can make REVOLUTION Super Late Model Series successful.

    Thanks,

    Jimmy Henry
