I realize that is Father's day weekend and my truck show in Ashland.  Ugh.  I'm going to try to get out of my responsibility at that event so I can race.  We'll see how it goes.

Sounds interesting. Fathers Day weekend AND the summer solstice, so plenty of daylight available.  I like that it's all Ford, with an emphasis on the FE. At least it won't be a 20:1 ratio of Chevy cars! I hope to be there.

Larry, when does UMTR typically post their schedule? I notice they don't even have a 2020 schedule up yet.

Two?  Who's the second??   LOL!

Doug, our banquet isn't until Jan 25th, so we won't have a schedule for quite a while yet.  Mike might have a few things in the works, but time will tell.

Any idea when more information will be posted about the classes? Also, will it be ran 1/8th or 1/4 mile? Thanks

There's probably not much to add. Bracket races are self explanatory; you guess your ET, then run as close to it as you can. Closest wins. Doesn't matter if you have a 9 second car up against a 13 second car, they run together. Quick 8 is exactly that, the quickest 8 cars in the field do a run-off.

Dragway 42 is a 1/4 mile track that has recently been re-done, so I see no reason why they would run 1/8 mile.

Look for a Flyer to be out in the next couple days. All FE classes will be 1/4 mile. ALL FORD Brkt 1 Box class will be 1/8th mile.

It's up now. Unfortunately on Facebook, which I'm not on, so I can't blow up the picture to see the details.  ::)
