Great looking schedule... If this does not get racers excited I don't know what would.

MMSA returns to its roots and hits the road!



The MMSA welcomes 2014, with a great schedule, standardized rules and many new faces.

First off we would like to welcome our new competition director Carin Campbell. Carin has big shoes to fill with the retirement of MMSA co founder and promoter Bill May. Bill has been in contact with the MMSA staff guiding us through our off season. Bill is doing well and has spent the winter enjoying Florida. Replacing Bill has been nearly impossible but Carin has experience and the drive to be a great asset to our group. Carin has been around racing her whole life, and was a key part to the UMRAs success from 2002 into 2012. Working along side Travis Stickles during the UMRA years the duo helped the group secure growth, secure big dates, and amass a sizable points fund.

" I attended my first race when I was four years old, so I have been around racing most of my life. My father Billy (Soupy) Campbell raced the U.M.R.A TQs from 1961-1977. Dad was racing at Salem Speedway the night I was born, he won the feature that night! I worked with Travis during the five years he was president at the U.M.R.A. We worked long hours during the winter months to bring exciting changes to the club, we were a very successful team.

I enjoy the family environment that racing provides. I am very excited and looking forward to working with the MMSA in 2014!

See you at the track!
-Carin


Another first for series this year will be the addition of a full time traveling announcer. Jay Tinder of Indianapolis has taken the position of the "voice of the MMSA". There are many positives for our group obtaining its own announcer including more exposure for our drivers and sponsors.

The traveling series does just that in 2014, with a an array of new tracks on the schedule. Premiere facilities cornerstone the agenda in 2014 culminating with the season finale National Race at the "Class Track" Tri State Speedway.

We also find ourselves teaming up with Mid American Lightning Sprints also a National Rules* series to bring you multiple high level events. Including national level events at New Florance Speedway (MO), Chandler Motor Speedway (IN) and Clay County Speedway in Illinois. These races have higher payouts and start money to help pay for the traveling.

An informational meeting will be open to current and potential members on April 5th, at 1:30 pm at the Steve Kinser Racing Headquarters in Bloomington, Indiana. Bring a lawn chair, and come and join us. If weather permits we will be grilling outside. With food provided by Wolfes Auto Auction and Hoosier Speed.

We would like to thank Randy and Steve Kinser for their continued support, as well as our track promoters, sponsors , and series partners.

Thanks to returning series sponsors: Mensendieke Auction Service, and Bradley-Myers and Sons Excavating for their continued support.

A special thanks to JayHawk Millright, it's owner Phil Heavelow, and MALS promoter Mark Billing in there assistance with our National Events schedule.

Re: Lightning Sprint Racers
 

The Thunder Valley shows are Saturday? Is this a typo? They only race Fridays. Also, Brownstown doesnt have the May 17th show on their schedule. Is that a typo on their part?

Re: Lightning Sprint Racers
 

Salem switched to Saturdays

Re: Lightning Sprint Racers
 

They switched back to Fridays after they switched to Saturdays. You might want to double check with Mike and make sure everything is still a go.
