As of now the only dates I’ve seen posted anywhere is Tri-City Motor Speedway(Auburn, MI) opener and Merritt’s Woodtic. Curious to see if they will reign in on the distance it’ll cover as last year they only had 3 teams follow the entire tour. Also the opener at Tri City Motor Speedway is only 2,500 to win when the last 2 years all AELMT races were 4,000+ to win. Really hope this tour doesn’t fold up for the northern Midwest guys as not many tour come through the Michigan, northern Illinois, northern Ohio and northern Indiana area.

The Ethanol series needs a 15 race schedule.
Merritt 3 races (including Woodtic)
I-96 3 races (host season championship race)
Hartford 2 races
Tri-City 2 races
Thunderbird 2 races
Winston 1 race
Butler 1 race (or a co-sanctioned race with ALMS @ Oakshade)
Plymouth 1 race -
tracks around here aren't going to keep paying big $$ to get the same 15 cars that show up every Saturday or Friday night for a local show, also looks like there will be another change with Scott Menlen the tour director taking the GM job with Nashville fairgrounds speedway"Running the bottom is like having a job!" ~ Jack HewittComment

I was wondering the same thing. I thing Hartford being the closest track to where the MARS Series races with be a thought. Even tagged Hartford in a couple of Facebook post on the MARS Series page.Originally posted by SHOESTRING TRVLR View PostNathan Stephens

Guess I got my answer. What a bummer. Might be the nail in the coffin for UMP in Michigan. Down to 1 Friday track and 1 Saturday track and no series.... not good.Comment
