Calls From Drivers Come From Many Midwest Areas!

Warrensburg, Missouri
As seven years have come and gone at the 'Home of the Mighty Modifieds', Central
Missouri Speedway in Warrensburg, the three yearly, holiday 'big one' Modified
specials continued to grow to large proportions. And for the final 'big one'
scheduled for this Saturday night, more calls and references have been placed than
ever before.
With a $22,000.00 total purse and $2,000 for the "7th Annual "Missouri Modfied
Mania", 40 lap championship feature, the title means just as much to the drivers
than the big dollars. If they don't receive the honor as a winner this time, they
probably will not be unhappy; 2nd pays $1500.00, third, $1000.00, $900 for fourth,
$800 for fifth and stays super-solid all the way down the 24 car pay list.
The weekly top classes of Limited Late Models, WOFC Sprint cars and the wild and
wooly Street Stocks will also participate in a complete set of runs.
Top drivers from the Midwest will be seriously competing against CMS' best.
Kansas City's "Fast" Richard Layne, CMS' 6-time CMS Modified champ, won his very
first 'big one' in the running of last year's 'Bowl'. And he hasn't stopped winning
them since. His third, consecutive big win happened during this year's first 'big
one', the Memorial Modified Mayhem. Successfully driving the Bobby Hunt/McEwan Farms
modified, he's still one of the top CMS drivers that midwest competitors will be
gunning for.
The second 'big one' of the year, the July 4th "Bar-B-Que Bowl", was claimed by CMS
regular Basehor, Kansan Tim Karrick in his Price Chopper/Blue Bunny/Skyrocket
machine.
As always, if the Saturday night event is rained out, the race will be run the
following day, Sunday, with same times and schedule.
Gates will open at 5 pm, hot laps will get underway at 7 and the first qualifying
heat race will be green flagged at 7:30.
Although the special race show will once again pay out the heavy dollars, the
grandstand admission fee will stay on the low side: Adults-$12, Sr. Citizens-$10,
ages 6 though 11-$8 and under 6, free. Pit passes will hold at $20.
It's suggested than fans arrive a bit earlier for the best seats.
CMS is located five miles north of 50 highway and 11 miles south of I-70 on Missouri
route 13 (exit at Higginsville).
