Wild West Modified Tour
Series Information
WWMT originally ran from 2007- 2014 and has been recently resurrected this year by popular demand (Special Thanks to Ken and Shelly Hansen). Over 120 drivers have signed up for the tour this year, with 10 events scheduled for IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Northern SportMods. This will be the ninth year for this resurrected tour. It travels to six different tracks in five states including, Aztec NM, Vernal UT, Winnemucca and Battle Mountain NV, Rock Springs WY and Idaho Falls ID.
Car counts will determine nightly purses, with Modifieds racing for a minimum of $1,000 to win and as much as $2,500 to win their Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifiers. Stock Cars and Northern SportMods both vie for top checks of at least $750 and as much as $1,600.
Start money ranges from $50 to $175 for the Modifieds and from $50 to $150 for the Stock Cars and Northern SportMods.
Modified entry fees will be $100, Stock Car and Northern SportMod entry fees $75. Registration fees go into point funds for each division; drivers must compete in half the tour races held to be eligible for point fund shares.
One hundred dollars will be paid to drivers making the longest tow each night in each division while non-qualifier pay is $50.
IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing National, state, special series and track points will be awarded each night. Modifieds also earn Larry Shaw Race Cars Western Region points and Stock Cars race for EQ Cylinder Heads Northern or Southern Region points.
Tour point leaders will be eligible to compete in race of champions qualifying for their respective divisions at the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
