There was a few weeks that their car count was low but in the latter part of the season it really picked up. The Hobbies/Sportsman put on great shows down there as well as the Modifieds. LD

who cares
so by there being "A" and "B" classes of mods does that mean guys that are usually infront like billy smith, brent thompson,kenny kennedy, joe geisler and so on will run "a" and guys that run middle of pack and back like John Bohn, Tommy Worley Sr.,resingers,and so on will run "b mods"? and what's stopping from say an "a" mod guy taking his car and going into the "b" mod class to win more? is there a mechanical difference between these two classes or are they the same? if theyre the same then why split them up? that's dumb. someone fill me in on this whole thing, cause by Millsey saying that the "a" mods arent going to be UMP why make two classes of the same cars??????? and to be real honest i think UMP would be great at Fredericktown if they could get enough cars...Be pretty neat seein Scott Weber flyin around "the rock" or shereck, what other tracks that run UMP mods on friday nights are there? Belleville?That's the only one I can think of....so where does all the UMP missouri guys run on friday nights? give some info on all this would someone?

Guys, a "B" mod class is another entry level form of racing. It's also less expensive. We actually had some guys who would have qualified for "B" mod rules that ran last year with us at Fredericktown. This just allows some of the people who were wanting to get into modified class a chance to do so without the huge expense of trying to run with the big names of the class. Have you looked at the "B" mod rules???
