19TH ANNUAL ULMS LATE MODEL REUNION AT THE HIGHBANKS OF WOODHULL ON AUGUST 14TH
The ULMS Late Models will heading east on I-86 and Rte 417 into Steuben County in New York state for the 19th annual Late Model Reunion at Woodhull Raceway in wonderful, Woodhull, New York on Saturday, August 14. The 358 dirt modified fans get their annual taste of the 2200# lightning on dirt super late models on the high bank 3/8 mile oval. The 30 lap event will pay $2000 to the winner and is expected to bring cars from central and eastern Pennsylvania along with the ULMS travelers. Bob Close has dominated this event over the years and with 2010 looking to be his last year of full-time competition; this may be one of his best opportunities to grab that first win of 2010. Boom Briggs has finished second to Close two of the past three years; he will no doubt be looking to improve on the high banks. It appears that two of the past winners of this event, Jeff Hoffman and Al Brewer will not be participating as Hoffman reportedly lost a motor at Little Valley earlier in the month and Brewer sold his late model over the winter and no ride seems apparent for this event at a track he raced at in the 70s and early 80s before the late model division was dropped.
A great following of dirt late model teams have jumped on the Northern Tier Inc ULMS Late Model Series wagon as Bump Hedman of Sugar Grove, Pennsylvania and Mike Knight of Ripley, New York are both expected to be on hand along with ULMS point leader, Dennis Lunger. Other ULMS entries expected to be on hand are Dereck Frank of Jamestown, NY, Greg Oakes of Franklinville, Brent Rhebergen of Clymer, “The Captain, Jason Dupont, Ed Carley are a few of the lighnting fast dirt late model entries that are expected on hand along with the stars of Clinton County Speedway.
Drivers are reminded that Raceivers are mandatory in 2010 in all ULMS Racing Series events. Raceivers will be on hand for rental at the ULMS trailer. The standard ULMS $20 entry fee will be in place for all ULMS competitors upon registering their cars at the ULMS registration table. Race fans will see the drivers draw for their heat race qualifying spots and race their way into the main event by virtue of their heat or consolation finishes. The top two finishers in the heats will participate in the Coors Light Redraw determining the top three or four rows for the main event. Fans are reminded they will want to come early as this event always packs the joint in the pits and in the grandstands as the car counts have increased the past few years with last year 28 late models being on hand.
