Beebe, Arkansas (3/11/09) - The O’Reilly MSRA Super Late Model Series has announced that it will allow the Hoosier LM 40 tire compound for the 2009 season.
The decision to allow the Hoosier LM 40 was made after conversations with Hoosier Tire Engineers in regards to the similarity of the compound with the other compounds currently allowed in O’Reilly MSRA competition. In addition, the Hoosier LM 40 was scheduled to already be allowed in seven challenge events with other series in 2009.
The O’Reilly MSRA tour already allowed the Hoosier LM40 to be run on the front of the cars. By now allowing these tires on the rear of the car, it will allow a racer to groove the tire themselves, while also keeping the Hoosier 1600/Hoosier 55 option, which are pre-molded, allowing for two options similar in performance.
O’Reilly MSRA Series Competition Director, Cary Jones, comments, “The revised tire rule allows our racers to be able to run the same compounds each race night, and in the long run we feel that this will save the racers money.”
Less than a month remains until the O’Reilly MSRA Super Late Model tour gets the season underway at 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Arkansas on Friday, April 3rd. On Saturday, April 4th, a trip to Tracey Clay's I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, Arkansas will cap the opening weekend.
The complete, tentative schedule is posted on the official O'Reilly MSRA website at www.MSRADirt.com . Check the schedule often as more dates are soon to be added.
The 2009 rules and point's payout have also been posted at www.MSRADirt.com . Rule changes for 2009 include more points to win a race and bonus points for leading the most laps. The "Lucky Dog" award will also be in effect for 2009 as the first driver, who is one lap down, at the time of a caution will be moved to the tail of the lead lap.
The O'Reilly MSRA is sponsored by and would like to thank primary sponsor O'Reilly Auto Parts, their Associate Sponsors- GRT Race Cars, Hoosier Racing Tires, COMP Cams, Larry Shaw Race Cars, Weld Racing, Kuntz & Company, JFR Graphics, RiceTec, ASI Racewear, ROCKHARD Powdercoat, Inc., Fatheadz Inc., and MSR Mafia.com Marketing Services; and their contingency sponsors - Scott Wire, Duralite Racing Wheels, Suspension Spring Specialists, BSB Manufacturing, AP Racing, Wiles Drive Shafts, Boston's Restaurant and Sports Bar Pizza, Joe Gibbs Racing Oil, Schaeffer Oil, & FSR Products.
