The
1000cc Midwest Mini Sprint Association will
be racing at the
Ripley County Fairgrounds in Osgood, IN on Friday night, July 3rd.
This will be an all open wheel night with the TQ's and the steel
block sprint cars (SCORA) joining us.
The gate will open at 4:00 PM EST
Hot laps at 6:30
Races at 7:30
Osgood, IN is located on Highway 421 (called North Buckeye Street in
Osgood) a few miles north of Highway 50 at Versailles, IN.
The fairground and track are located on West Beech Street, the 2nd
street past the railroad track if you are going north on Hwy 421, in
Osgood.
The pit entrance is located off of West Fairground Avenue (the road
behind the back stretch) which is the 3rd street past the railroad
track if you are going north on Hwy 421, in Osgood.
We hope to see everyone there to support mini sprint racing. Without
your support, promoters will not schedule mini sprints back to their
tracks.
MMSA members need to support Mason at these
tracks. Not only does he provide the MMSA a
multi-date schedule at Twin Cities, but also
provides us several events at his 1/5 mi.
track at Salem, IN, including the "Open
Wheel Nationals" in September. He was very
instrumental in the MMSA obtaining the two
race dates at Brownstown. Many, if not most
drivers, prefer these size tracks. I
strongly suspect the future of mini sprint
racing will grow and thrive on these smaller
tracks which are less demanding on the cars
and motors.
I encourage you to support the MMSA and
Mason on Friday night and Saturday night.
The future of the MMSA depends on your
support. We have been successful in
obtaining financial support from sponsors to
maintain the best payout for mini sprints in
the Midwest. With support from you, the
racers, the MMSA will be able to continue
and grow with even more sponsors in the
future. We need to supply the promoter a
large field of cars. I hope to see you at
Thunder Valley Friday night and Twin Cities
on Saturday night.

We
should have our programs available at the MMSA
track booth this weekend. The cost is $3.00 per
program. All the money made from the sales of the
program will go toward the weekly purse. Please
see Bill May to purchase your program.
We will pay off as
soon after the Feature as possible. We have to
wait for the official track scoring sheets to get
to our booth. We will pay off as usual. Everyone
must be at the booth & we will pay from 1st
to last in that order. Any complaints about
finishing order will be resolved at that time,
before we move on to paying the next person in
line.
The
track scoring record will be used as the official
Feature results for paying the Feature.
We will abide by all
of the track rules. If you have a problem or
complaint, DO NOT approach the track officials to
discuss your problem. See Bill May & he will
decide how to handle your complaint. We will not
be able to hold the program up to discuss your
problem. Please, just see Bill May & let him
handle it. His ruling will be final.
We want everyone to
come, enjoy the races, and have a good time.
Thanks to the
supportive track promoters and our dedicated
sponsors, the MMSA prize money for this season
will be:
$1,000 to win, $100
to start, $40 if you ran your heat and failed to
make the Feature, $50 “Hard Charger” Award, an
incentive for the highest finishing 600cc car in
the Feature. These awards will be based on 20 cars
starting the Feature.
OR
$600 to win, $100 to
start, $40 if you attempted to run your hot laps
and were not able to start the Feature, $50 “Hard
Charger” Award, an incentive for the highest

will be based on any number of cars less than 20
cars starting the Feature.
The
first 5 finishing positions will be paid by check.
All remaining finishing positions and all other
awards will be paid in cash.
Some
events will have the payout increased. These
events will be announced in advanced.
Many thanks to all our
members for your continued support as we strive to
maintain the MMSA as the premier mini sprint
association in both purse (payout) and
participants.
The MMSA extends
thanks to Steve Kinser for allowing us to use his
shop to measure and seal motors and Randy Kinser
for being a great host. We appreciate all of the
people who brought their cars and/or motors in to
be measured and sealed. We have checked over 30 motors
and found all of them to be within the factory
specifications. Thanks also to Andy Bradley and
Allen Ruppenthal for furnishing pizzas and cokes.
If you
have not had your motor measured and sealed,
please contact Bill May at
859-331-4968 to make arrangements to have this
done before your first race date.
The MMSA is pleased to announce that Mike
Miles, promoter at Bloomington Speedway has awarded the MMSA the
single support class for his two most important events of the
2009 season, both are USAC sprint races, the first on Fri.. May 8th and and again on Fri.. July 17th
(Indiana sprint week). This will be the first opportunity for
the MMSA to perform on the famous "RED CLAY" 1/4 mile track and
is viewed as a HUGE step for upright mini sprints in the region.
These two major events will hi-lite the
MMSA 2009 schedule, paying $1,000 to win each, plus other $$
bonuses.
The MMSA is a STOCK 1,000cc,upright,winged
touring class with provision for 600cc cars to participate, and
are encouraged to do so with performance bonuses. Membership
