USRA SLM AND ARTS SCHEDULE CHANGE

Instead the event will be replaced by the ‘Fall Brawl’ at San Antonio Speedway on the same date, November 19, 2005. The ‘Fall Brawl will be the final points race of the season for both the Super Late Models and the Trucks.

“There were several logistical and cost considerations for many of our teams that we did not anticipate when we first booked the November TMS date,” Dickerson said in making the announcement. “I hate that we had to make a schedule change a month before the date, but after talking to a lot of our USRA teams, quite a number of them are actually pleased that we are making the change. This change actually saves the teams a lot of work changing their drive trains and suspensions for the road course and will probably save some of our teams some major travel expenses as well.”

The Texas Super Racing Series (TSRS) Late Models were scheduled to run with the two USRA series on the November TMS program. TSRS founder and owner Mary Ann Naumann made an announcement about their schedule change late last week.

“It is with deep regret that the Texas Super Racing Series must announce the scheduled November 19th Texas Motor Speedway road course race has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. Our drivers were really looking forward to being able to race there again this year,” Naumann said. “We looked at several options since that was our final race and would decide our season championship. After talking with the Bakers at Houston Motorsports Park and taking a pole of our drivers and officials, the Texas Super Racing Series Late Models will run our last event of the 2005 season October 29th at the beautiful Houston Motorsports Park. We would like to thank the Bakers for their invitation to join their big weekend of racing with the USRA SLM, USRA Trucks and their local racing series. It is always a pleasure to be at Houston Motorsports Park. Hope everyone will be able to make this change in their schedule and join us for the exciting end of the season finale at the Halloween Bash 60!”

The USRA has not finalized the race format for the “Fall Brawl,” but will be making an announcement at some point after the next USRA event at Houston Motorsports Park on October 29, 2005.
