DIRTcar UMP Hoosier Tire Rule In Place For World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Winter Freeze’ Feb. 8-9 At Screven Motor Speedway
SYLVANIA, GA – Dec. 11, 2012 – The DIRTcar UMP Hoosier tire rule will be in effect for the 2013 World of Outlaws Late Model Series season-opening ‘Winter Freeze’ on Feb. 8-9 at Screven Motor Speedway, series and track officials announced on Monday.
The decision puts Screven’s doubleheader in line on the tire-rule front with ensuing WoO LMS events at Bubba Raceway Park in Ocala, Fla. (Bubba Army Late Model Winter Nationals on Feb. 15-17) and Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla. (UNOH DIRTcar Nationals Presented by Summit Racing Equipment on Feb. 21-23). Hoosier LM 10-20-30-40 compound tires will be the only rubber permitted in the eight February racing programs.
“I’m pretty much game for anything that works best for the racers and I think using the (DIRTcar UMP) Hoosier tires will help everyone,” said Screven owner Redd Griffin, who will host the WoO LMS lidlifter for the second consecutive year. “All the other World of Outlaws races after us (in Florida) are using the same tire rule, so it makes sense for us to simply things and go the same route. Now all the drivers who travel far to come down and race for a couple weeks won’t need to bring even more different tires.” (more…)
