ULMS LATE MODELS PREPARE FOR 08 OPENER AT LITTLE VALLEY
June 13, 2008

Obviously they will have to contend with Little Valley regulars, Ron Davies, Brent Rhebergan, Kirk Bradley, Jeff Hoffman, Mickey Wright, Al Brewer, Doug Ricotta and others.
ULMS Racing Series director, Chris Zuver commented, “I am very excited in returning to Little Valley. It has been a long time since we had a show there and the past shows that we had were some very exciting events. Dick Barton, the 2001 and 2003 champion was crowned at Little Valley. Dick just came off a great win at Little Valley so he will be looking to back up his latest win at Little Valley.”
