RMLSA returns to action this Saturday May 6th in Fort Morgan, CO at I-76 Speedway.

To all RMLSA potential members.

The RMLSA held our annual rules meeting on January 28th, for the 2023 race season.

Elections were held and Gale Ingram was elected to retain his President title, as well as Dave Boos retaining his Vice President title. We had four nominations for the BOD (Board of Directors). Mike McMillen, BJ Sauer, Brian Aldrich, and Brock Purvis. Voting was held and we have appointed three BOD’s with one alternate to the BOD. Mike McMillen, BJ Sauer, and Brock Purvis were appointed to the BOD with Brian Aldrich being appointed as the alternate. Maegan Irvine will retain her position as Secretary. Don Irvine and Brian Aldrich were nominated for Tech Directors and have accepted those positions.

We thank all members that voted as well as all for accepting each position.

Items of discussion were general club information, sponsorships, tires, community outreach, and ways to grow our club. However, the most exciting item of discussion was the payouts for the upcoming 2023 season. We have entered a sponsorship that is allowing us to increase our payouts and we have concluded our payout for each race will be as followed:
-1st Place A-Main Finish: $500
-2nd Place A-Main Finish: $300
-3rd Place A-Main Finish: $200
-Hard Charger Award: $50
-At the conclusion of each A-Main, the 1st place finisher will draw two positions out of a hat and each position will be paid $75.
-Every position to start the main will receive $100 tow money.

This means a first place finish can receive a payout for a total of $600 for a night of racing. As well as a last place finish to the main still receiving $100 for their night out at the track. This is very exciting news, and we are very appreciative of our sponsors for the upcoming season.

We are encouraging any Lightning Sprint in the USA to come run with the RMLSA at any of our scheduled 18 points races for this upcoming season. If you, or any friends are looking for a car to buy, or need any information about the most affordable open wheel racing in the region, please contact any of us.

The feature was a great race with no cautions and saw #24B Johnny Boos and #26 Chris Crowder lap much of the field. The two of them weaving thru lapped traffic on the tacky fast track was incredible. When the checkered flag flew, the #24B Johnny Boos took the win, with #26 Chris Crowder finishing second and #27 Weston Olson for Minnesota rounding out the top three. #1 Troy Ullery and #13 Josiah King rounding out the top 5.

Saturday the sun came out, it wakes up some, and the action was hot!

Again 14 cars competing for the last race of the year.

Saturday heat races were won by #13 Josiah King and #24B Johnny Boos.

The feature lineup put those heat winners in row three.

#9F Andy Flood took the lead with #13 Josiah King, #24B Johnny Boos, and #26 Chris Crowder all close behind. King eventually passed Flood for the lead, but a caution negated that pass. After the racing resumed, the battle between those 4 cars was epic. When the dust settled #24B Johnny Boos took the lead , but #26 wouldn’t let up running the top of the track and tracked him down with two to go with Crowder taking the win.

The 2022 RMLSA Championship was decided with #24 B Johnny Boos winning the championship for the second year in a row.

Congratulations to all the racers, crews, and families that made 2022 a great season.
