Season Debut of SK Light Modified division at Speedbowl May 21
Combines X-Modified and SK Lights for limited 2011 schedule
Waterford, CT — Earlier this year Waterford Speedbowl management announced an increase from five to six weekly racing divisions for regular Saturday night NASCAR Whelen All-American Series programs in 2011, including the addition of an SK Light Modified division for seven events. The division will make its debut during May 21’s racing program and compete approximately once per month during the season.
The events combine the Speedbowl’s X-Modified division, which formerly raced in the track’s Wild ‘n Wacky Wednesday series, with the SK Light Modified division. Races are scheduled to be 20-laps in distance to begin the season. Cars eligible for competition include those adhering to the respective Waterford Speedbowl X-Modified and Stafford Motor Speedway SK Light rule books. Either set of rules may be utilized for competition, but any crossing of the two rules formats will not be permitted. A full review of the rules for car eligibility can be viewed by clicking here or visiting http://www.speedbowl.com/Uploads/Rules-SK-Light-Modified.pdf.
Eligible tires are Waterford Speedbowl SK Modified®, Stafford Motor Speedway SK Modified® or Stafford Motor Speedway SK Light Hoosier tires. Tires will be inventoried via bar code serial numbers and a tire purchase/use rule will be in effect. The tire schedule is posted on Speedbowl.com, under the Saturday SK Light division dropdown menu listing.
Car owners and drivers must be NASCAR licensed for competition. The division will compete under the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series banner in 2011 as the Division V track representative. Eligibility questions should be directed to the track office.
In addition to May 21, the division is scheduled to compete in events on June 18, July 16, August 20, September 3, September 24 and at Finale weekend October 8-9. Race winners will take home a $300.00 payoff.
More information on the division, including car number registration information, is available by emailing the track office at info@speedbowl.com. The 2011 schedule of racing events is available by visiting Speedbowl.com.
