New Mexico Motor Racing Association (NMMRA)
White Sands Speedway - Tularosa, New Mexico
May 16, 2009
The NMMRA Non-Wing Sprints were the show of the night! This was their first show at WSS. The difference was very noticable compared to the restricted Wing Sprints. Their cars were not as stable at high speeds and they had a huge horsepower that most had a hard time planting it to the ground. There were 18 to start in the heats and 18 finished in the main without 1 caution! The sprint drivers struggled to hold a steady line, still getting used to the new track, but were 3 and 4 wide passing and sliding around all over the place as the track went from wet and tacky to a slight dry slick in the main. # 40X Scott Box was the one who gave the highlight of the show by driving in to the top of turn one and launching out of turn 2 like a rocket! Like most, the bottom of the track was good but Scott found the sweet spot and typically passed 2-4 cars just out of turn 2 to turn 3. He tried the bottom with no better luck than the rest, but the speed he grabbed out of turn 2 was spectacular and without much effort, he took the win.
We want to thank the UMP Limited Late Models and the NMMRA Sprints for their awesome performance, despite the weather conditions and they proved to be a great show for the fans!
Please join us again at the races next Saturday Night!
