Valley and Central Missouri Speedways First Tracks to Adopt ULMA Rules Package!!!
By Sam Stoecklin

Warrensburg, MO (Jan. 21, 2007) - The United Late Model Association (ULMA), fresh off the heels of its most recent meeting, received some exciting information from two of the Midwest’s most well-known and respected racing facilities! Grain Valley Speedway, Grain Valley, MO, and Central Missouri Speedway (CMS), Warrensburg, MO, both adopted the ULMA rules package and have become the first two tracks to be affiliated with ULMA! ULMA is excited about this new partnership and looks forward to working with Earl and Susan Walls, promoters of CMS, as well as Mark and Debbie Evinger, promoters of Valley Speedway. Special event race details for ULMA at both tracks are being finalized.

In other news, the association finalized the point disbursement plan that will be used to determine the inaugural ULMA champion for 2007. Ongoing plans for special event purse payouts are still being discussed at this time; however, the association has decided it will invert the top 6 starters for their special event feature races. This method will be utilized by the association only at ULMA-ran special events; associated tracks will use their own line-up methods on a weekly basis for their late model race programs. The association is currently lining up additional track and special-event affiliation and will make announcements as soon as details are finalized.

ULMA representatives will be on hand to accept new member applications and answer questions about the association at the January 27th and 28th, 2007 “Bodee's Racers’ Auction and Trade Show.” This event will take place at the Missouri State Fairgrounds’ Mathewson Center at 2503 West 16th Street, Sedalia, Missouri. Members who have already paid their 2007 dues are encouraged to send a picture of their car to the association’s e-mail address to be uploaded to the association’s Website.

ULMA’s next meeting will take place on February 10, 2007 at 1 p.m. in Sedalia, MO, at the Ramada Inn Restaurant/Lounge located at 3501 West 50 Hwy, near Wal-Mart. Personnel wishing to join the association’s news release information group should send requests to unitedlatemodelassociation@hotmail.com . ULMA encourages everyone to visit its Website at www.ulmaracing.com  for the latest news and information. The association may also be reached through its “forum” board at http://ulmaracing.com/Forum/index.php. We hope to see you at Bodee’s Auction and beyond in 2007!
