MYTON, Utah (Jan. 15) – The third annual EQ Cylinder Heads Wild West Northern Tour will take IMCA Modified drivers to seven different tracks in Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
Fourteen series dates have been announced, with the first Friday-Saturday doubleheader at Aztec Speedway April 24-25.
Following are twinbills at Diamond Mountain Speedway May 15-16, Desert Thunder Raceway June 12-13, Battle Mountain Raceway June 26-27, Sweetwater Speedway July 17-18 and Fairgrounds Speedway Aug. 14-15, before the Sept. 18-19 finale at Atomic Motor Raceway.
“This is another very driver friendly schedule,” noted Tour Director Ken Hansen. “Promoters at tracks that are part of the tour have gone above and beyond in working out race dates that make it possible for more drivers to follow.”
Winners of features with 40 or more entries earn a $1,000 share of a $5,600 purse and become candidates for the 2009 or 2010 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot.
Any event with fewer than 40 entries will pay $750 to win as part of a $4,425 feature purse.
National, ButlerBuilt Western Region and Smiley’s Racing Products State points, as well as special series points, will be awarded at all events. Ricky Alvarado is the two-time defending tour champion.
Top 10 drivers in final point standings earn shares of a $3,000 point fund along with contingency awards from series sponsor Enginequest.
The top 20 drivers in points will also be invited to compete in a Shootout during the Duel in the Desert special at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in November. Top 10 finishers in that race advance to another event, opposite the top 10 from the Shootout for Rotating Right Wild West Southern Tour drivers.
