looks like Late Models will be back at Holland (after a one season absence) with a Limited Late Model format spear headed by car owner Gord Trank (#99). Sanctioning body will be known as LAMOT and here are some of the features:
$3100 crate engine; $750 header claim; $469 MSD ignition and box; $674 carb, $115 shocks, $1850 tranny (claim rule), rear ends-$1000 9" or $1800 quick change, 92 octane pump gas, hard Good Year slicks (estimated tire budget $900 for the season).
Guess they're hoping some Super Stock drivers move up or some existing MAARA (Lake Erie) or Lancaster guys move down. Just didn't seem right at Holland last year with no weekly late models. I wonder if any Canadian drivers might be interested in testing the waters if their cars come close to this new format?????

If those rules stay the same I would really like to take our LM down there. Since you can run the quick change and 4 speed tranny we would only have to swap the engine and raise the car.

Gord Trank will have the full rules posted shortly on the Holland Speedway website. FYI

yes but we are only running a limited schedule. I may make an appearance with the LLM at sunset and other specials as well.

good to hear, make sure you come a few times.

From what I'm reading, it's being viewed by most people as the answer to the question nobody was asking...
-
After looking at things, I applaud their enthusiasm, but at the same time I can't see any way for it to work. A couple of things done differently (headers, engine package, *maybe* tires) and they'd be alright, but I doubt they last the year.

hey mike,
whatever happened to the MAARA series?
-
MAARA got side-tracked when Joe Lewondowski (at least Im pretty sure that's his name) left Lake Erie for somewhere in NC, although they were kinda sidetracked when Jennerstown had its leadership change last winter too. I've heard they're definitely looking to bring it back for 2009, and I've also heard someone's putting up funds to have some sort of unofficial LM tour for this season...
EDIT: Holland has a "MAARA Late Model 75" race listed for sometime in July, who knows if it's a typo or not...
-
You know what else is funny? These LAMOT guys apparently don't have a complete racecar ready to go, so they're going to the big car show in Buffalo with a 350 crate engine only....lol...

wow@going to a car show with just an engine

The best thing about is you can only run the 602, and you can only buy it from one GM dealership in order to run...

I think they'd be perfect for a double-header weekend, but that's just me...
