If it's anything like when the Pro Stock division was dumped, just watch for the 2010 schedule and see if your class is on it. If you're waiting for that personal phone call, forget it. :rolleyes:

The Late Model division has provided some of the most competitive racing this season. The Factory Stocks (Thrillers) have been around since the beginning of the Mountain Speedway era, and has been an excellent feeder division for many who have moved up into other classes.
There are no plans to get rid of either division.

Every division has an "off" night from time to time, when car counts drop. But, one thing that could be looked at over the winter, is a division that consistently has low car counts and little interest. In the best interest of providing a quality racing program, this may be looked at by track management.
A good idea might be to get out and support your division or the one you plan on competing in...now, by showing interest so that if there is a weak link, so to say, we can look into a solution or an alternative.

Pro Stocks are welcome to compete with the Late Model division. If you have a Pro Stock and it fits the old Mountain Speedway Pro Stock rules, you can use a box stock 650 cfm four barrel (bolted directly to the intake-no spacer)
Thanks to those who inquired about getting back out to the speedway.

I guess with a 9 car Late Model field, the Pro Stocks finally have a use again?

that response got me no ansewers and actually has me more confused.....is there a chance that there will not be a factory stock division next year before i waste more money??? the problem with the division right now is that for the last 2 years there have been dominate cars. This gave people no motivation to build new ones. now this year i think everyone relizes that moyer is dominating because for the last 2 years he was building his car to try and compete with the dominate ones and interest among beginner drivers is starting to grow.....if the track and the powers that be really want to save this divison then over the winter they will get the drivers together have a meeting and say ok what do we need to do to the rulebook schedule exct to make this division they way it was in 2005 or 2006.

This is the last line of Mike's response in the first paragraph...

"There are no plans to get rid of either division."
