There has been a new southern tour in the works for awhile and when all is definitive the news will be on the front page of TCH.

Here we go again......

I was thinking the same thing.

Talked to a guy yesterday that races a mod at Ace Speedway; their cars there are a cross somewhere between a tour mod and a IMCA mod, if I understand correctly. Brad Allen, promoter at Ace, is a board member of this new series, presumably to draw a few Ace guys to tour, but the cost will be too high for them, IMO. I can't imagine this tour drawing a large crowd, as a lot of the Bowman Gray regulars don't tour. Tim Brown is not even entered at Caraway for the first southern tour race. Randy Myers is the director of the new series, and I give him credit; he has tried everything for touring mods and weekly mods. promoting Friendship speedway after putting down asphalt some years back (ruined a great dirt track, by the way!) and he will give it a go, but I think the odds are against them. I truly hope it works, but Hickory will be make or break for them.

An unresponsive PR dept.....not exactly what a new series needs......

I guess I am their new PR department. :-) Scary thought!

HISTORIC HICKORY MOTOR SPEEDWAY TO HOST INAUGURAL
“KOMA UNWIND MODIFIED MADNESS SERIES” EVENT

(King, NC): It is with great pleasure the Southern Modified Race Tour announces the inaugural “KOMA Unwind Modified Madness Series” event will take place on Saturday, March 22 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway. The “kickoff” event for the new series is the first of two races set for HMS in 2014. The series will return to one of the longest running tracks in the South again on July 5th for a big Independence Day weekend show.

“We couldn’t be happier to announce HMS as the first track on the new SMRT schedule” said series Director, Randy Myers. “Hickory Motor Speedway has a long and storied history with the Modifieds going back to the days of Junior Johnson, Ned Jarrett and the Myers Brothers, Billy and Bobby. Harry Gant, Bobby Allison, Hank Thomas and many more great racers drove the Modifieds back in the day and more recently the old SMART Modified tour competed there. This series mission is to create close and hard competition and to build the fan base for the Modifieds back to where it was a few years ago. With that in mind, we wanted to kick this season off “close-to-home” for the Modifieds. Many of the drivers competing in the “KOMA Unwind Modified Madness Series” will also race at another historic track in the area. Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem hosts the Modifieds every Saturday from late April through mid-August and events like this give their fans a chance to see them at other area tracks, Myers said. The “Relaxation Revoluation 125” will be the feature division and the Southeast Super Trucks and the East Coast Flathead Ford Racing Association will be the support series.

Hickory Motor Speedway General Manager, Kevin Piercy stated, “The fans got a taste of the Southern Modifieds at the CARS X-1R ProCup Series race last year and we are excited to bring them back in 2014”.

Racing action for the “KOMA Unwind Modified Madness Series” kicks off in just a few weeks so make plans to see the inaugural Southern Modified Race Tour event on March 22 at Hickory Motor Speedway.

David, you should frequent the front page here. I had this story up for over a week....
http://www.thechromehorn.com/news/20...ews030914a.htm
And the series info is on the left with all the other tour series' on the front page here.

I know Richie. Not everyone knows to look under SMRT when looking for KOMA. Sorry, just trying to help. Won't happen again.

I meant the story was posted on the front page.
Additional info is posted under the side area.
And no problem with posting, just have seen occasional PR's posted in the forum when they have been already posted on the webpage. It seems some come here but never view the webpage and that is where the news is!
Oh, and it is listed under SMRT only because that is the sanctioning body.
I am going to change it to SMRT KOMA, that may help.

I see on KOMA's facebook pagethey announced Jeremy Mayfield will be warming up a mod. Don't know if I'd be bragging about that. This series seems to get sketchier by the minute.

I believe KOMA was Jeremy's sponsor on his team when he got into trouble with Nascar, probably has an association there. About all they need is 15 mods, anything more is a bonus, and I believe they will get that. At least 75 percent of the tour is not at one track *cough* Caraway*cough*. Tim Brown is going to run all the races in the 02 car. I plan on going to Hickory .
