With the new year upon us and the days are now getting longer, hopefully warmer, that should get all of us excited!!
For that means only one thing....
MT410 racing season (March 15th) will be here before we know it!
Schedule is in its final phase, (22-24 events, 6 venues).
It took some extra time to strategically place perfect dates, attempting not to impede on others sanctioning bodies or tracks to help give you, the racer, every opportunity to support the series and track of your choice.
The competition rules will mirror the 2024 season, (pretty much sprint car rules)
The 2025 payout and point fund is on pace to be like 2024.
With some added good news come Sunday.....
As I have done for several years with MMSA. I plan to have a zoom meeting, the meeting will be this Sunday evening at 6:00 EST (fast time) for Midwest Thunder 410 series.
I will post zoom link here Sunday morning for all those wanting to join in.
Promptly at 6:01, my staff and I will do the MT410 intro, continuing on we will chat about the 2025 schedule, payout and point fund, along with a few notes of interest for the racer, and then to put a wrap on it with a Q&A session.
Hope to see you online Sunday evening!
Thanks for supporting MT410s

That's a nice schedule, opportunity for racers to limit travel and run for some decent $. Opportunity for fans to hit several events. I hope it is well supported.

The track promoter put it best in drivers meeting, half of the drivers wanted to choke him the other half wanted to hug him,
for moving the event up one day to beat mother nature.
Although the date changed several racers plans for the weekend, the event was a great success, and proud Midwest Thunder 410 series was part of the No Way Out 40....Done looking forward to 2026 No Way Out 40!
Thanks Paragon Speedway and crew for a safe and fun night.

If true it just shows that half of the racers don't give a rats about the paying customer. That promoter did what he had to do to get the event in. Kudos to him. If the weather forecast (and it was fairly accurate) interfered with someone's plans, too bad.
