4-11-2012 – The FL United Promoters Series announced some changes for the series today. “After listening to the competitors who have competed this season we felt that changes were needed to increase the car count” stated series director Rick Williams. “The racers have expressed their thoughts on the tire impound rule & the tracks opening early on Sat. morning making it a very long day”.
“Starting with our next race on 4/21 at Desoto we will open the pit gate at noon. and there will be no tire impound. All tires will be checked for softness. The pit gates will open later to give teams that travel the option of coming Friday night or Saturday morning. The tracks will continue to have Friday night Test-n-Tune for all classes, please understand it is not mandatory for FUPS competitors to participate”.
Another announcement from FUPS today is the cancellation of the May 4th race at Orlando Speedworld. “Track owner Robert Hart informed us today that they will not be hosting this event due to lack of fan participation and low car counts. FUPS will work to replace this event and hope to have a replacement race and date to announce soon. FUPS wishes FASCAR well moving forward”.
The series is set for its next race coming Saturday April 21st at the Desoto Super Speedway. David Rogers was the winner of race #3 at New Smyrna on April 7th. We will have more information and updates as well as a race day schedule out next week.
