With three remaining Lane Automotive Bracket Series points races remaining in the 2010 season, work is well underway internally for this year’s team slogan.  We will be using “Lane Automotive All Stars”.  The last and most important portion in planning for this year’s event is how the 2010 team will be formed.  With an outstanding number of racers entering into the US 131 Motorsports Park points program we have come up with the following number of racers from each class for this year’s team:

Top ET – 16

Modified – 20

Street – 6

Motorcycle – 4

Jr Dragster – 4 (3 Advanced, 1 Beginner)

If you are interested in participating please be sure to sign up at Customer Service/Souvenirs during the final upcoming Lane Bracket races.

Because of the terrific support from all of our bracket racers our sponsors have taken notice.  Thank you for making US 131 Motorsports Park successful and please consider our sponsors when making your next purchase if you aren’t already customers of theirs.

Lagana sweeps for third time this season; ‘Madman’ Manners, Gallen cap wild weekend

MARTIN, Mich. (August 14, 2010) – Unpredictable racing, 300 mile-per-hour dragsters and jets, daredevil wheelstanders, the world’s best drivers and the single biggest payout of the year.

Just another weekend on the Nitro Jam tour.
