Southern SportMod license combination
VINTON, Iowa (Jan. 7) – Drivers won’t be allowed to compete in both
IMCA Modified and Southwest Racing Specialties Southern SportMod
divisions after the 2010 season.
Thirty-nine racers did double duty in the two classes last year. The
dual license combination had been allowed since the Southern SportMod
class was introduced in 2004.

are starting to see more drivers the class was not intended for
competing at higher paying specials. We want drivers who are
dedicated to the division racing against their peers at specials and
weekly events.” Continue reading »
