Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
The following comes from Brian Danko's Whelen Modified Tour Report:
THOMPSON THINKING OF NON SANCTIONED EVENT According to one person in the know, officials of the Thompson Speedway are thinking of running a major non-sanctioned race, much like the old Thompson 300 format that would be open for cars from the modified tour, ROC and True Value series.
I happen to think that if done right and that means compromising on the rules so those cars from all three can compete evenly, that this could be a home run.
Naturally, Thompson would have to offer a competitive purse and if they offered guaranteed starters like before, this could bring the stars, the cars and the fans of drivers with those spots to Thompson for a big shoot-out.
With Thompson dropping two of their modified tour events, this would be a good way to schedule a major race in June or July when the schedules are Very light, especially on the modified tour.

If I had to GUESS Sharpie, I would say that Don Hoening (the tracks owner) saw the amount of cars he good get for the three SEPARATE races. Now if if he combines those three events, he will still make the money from the cars coming BUT with LESS PAYOUTS.
Just my GUESS.
