USRA Summit Weekly Racking Series

The Mighty Tri-State Speedway To Be USRA Sanctioned In All Classes In 2021

We are happy to announce that the mightyTri-State Speedway will be USRA - United States Racing Association sanctioned in all four classes for the 2021 race season.
We have thought long and hard about our full body classes and we feel USRA sanctioning will provide competitive racing with cost reduction while providing a year after year rule package that will deliver overall longevity.
We will be requesting USRA to visit our track from time to time to ensure that we are keeping all of our cars to USRA standards. We are purchasing new tech equipment and will strive to keep improving in this area year after year.
The Super Stock class will have a one year transition period for the 2021 season. Please refer to USRA Street Stock Transition Rules on the USRA website for full details. An offset roll cage was a concern for our current Super Stock cars and after clarifying with USRA, the cage can be offset as long as it meets the minimum roll cage dimensions.
USRA Factory Stock will have two track amendments, posted soon on their site: 1) A floater rear-end and 2) a right rear bead lock will be permitted at TSS. Also, added roll bar to the halo area will be permitted to meet USRA specs. Refer to USRA Factory Stock 2021 updated rules, when posted.
Also, in 2021, after each A-Main, we will now be sending top five cars to tech, but only the top four cars will be teched. When vacuum and crank compression is being checked, the top five drivers will be allowed to observe this process. Only the top five drivers will be allowed in the tech area unless the tech man requests an additional crew member. The tech man can also approve an additional crew member upon the driver’s request.
We are excited about the 2021 season and hope you are, as well!
Watch for schedule to be posted soon. We have big money races in all four USRA classes!

CANCELLED - Modster Mash - Episode 1: King of the Ring

CANCELLED - Modster Mash - Episode 1: King of the Ring

CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has won.
We are forced to CANCEL the Modster Mash - Episode 1: King of the Ring scheduled for the mighty Tri-State Speedway on Thursday, October 29th, 2020.
With rain over the last few days, rain overnight on Tuesday, rain continuing on Wednesday and forecasted to continue through at least noon on Thursday, there is no way to get the track prepared in time for this huge, naitonal event.
We are talking about a reschedule date with USRA and will see if the rest of the Modster Mash week happens. If all the three remaining races left on Friday at Lakeside for the 5th Annual Grant Junghans Memorial, Saturday at the 81 Speedway for the Mel Hambelton Ford Modified Spooktacular presented by Park City, and the Halloween Hangover at the Humboldt Speedway on Sunday the race for us will not be rescheduled.
If, for some reason, something happens with these other three events, it is possible that we may take over one of those nights. If that happens, we will definitely let everyone know ASAP.
