Sorry about the split, but I think I see why the two series are going in opposite directions.
Take care and Happy Turkey Day,

Tim the reasons behind this split are large and deep but don't let the "flash" of the new series fool you, when you're spending money that your club isn't earning, ie your own money, then it's easier to make alot of offtrack noise. The UMRA continues to put on races for it's members with the money it earns as a promotional body, not by using some rich persons money to buy "show trucks" and rent tracks and so on. The UMRA will celebrate 50 years this coming season and will be around for a long time. The UMRA has a great season sponser signed for 2010 and several tracks. The UMRA races on pavement and dirt. The UMRA is home to the best racers TQ has to offer and when you compete with and beat them then you have beaten the best. The UMRA is a club for the racers and teams ran by the racers and teams.
