In the USRA Hobby Stocks, Corey Roe of Webster City pocketed the $300 top prize while Lance Deal of Fort Dodge got his second win of the young season in the USRA Stock Cars.

Tyler Droste of Waterloo picked up $600 in the USRA B-Mod special with his first win of the season at the Mineral City Speedway, and third new winner in Bill Crimmins took the checkers in the Kemna Auto USRA A-Mods.

A-Mods utilize the USRA’s “alternative” rules package for Modifieds which requires a flat tappet/steel-headed engine or GM Performance Parts CT525 crate engine. Aluminum heads and roller cams are not allowed. Drivers may run a five-inch spoiler, but that is not mandatory.

The American Racer KK-704 is the Official Tire of the USRA Weekly Racing Series, but drivers in the USRA A-Mod, USRA Stock Car and USRA B-Mod divisions may run the stamped Hoosier G60 racing tire. All other USRA rules apply to all four USRA-sanctioned classes.

For complete rules, check out the USRA website at www.usraracing.com. Econo Stock and Hornet rules can be found at www.mineralcityspeedway.com.

Licensed drivers will earn track and national points in the USRA Weekly Racing Series. USRA A-Mods are competing for a track points fund worth up to $1,500 to the season champion. USRA Stock Cars are battling for $600 to win the points battle while USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks square off for a $500 paycheck to the 2012 track champion.

Drivers not participating in points funds may purchase a Temporary License good for one (1) event only for $10. There is no requirement for any driver to purchase a Competitor License, and no cost-inflating parts such as stickered wheels or stamped cylinder heads are mandated by the USRA rulebook.

The Mineral City Speedway is a 1/2-mile semi-banked dirt oval located 0.9 mile north of US 20 on US 169, then 0.5 mile east on 230th. For a complete 2012 schedule, complete weekly payouts and more check out www.mineralcityspeedway.com online.
