I was advised that I need to congratulate a good friend of mine! Jason Pahnke, 78, got his very first heat race win during the Kokomo Klash. Congratulations Jason, I know you have been working VERY hard to accomplish that task! Sorry I missed it! My apologies in the delay. I never received heat race results from Kokomo and was unaware as to who had won the heats.
Keep in mind that the 2012 Banquet is next weekend, Nov. 10th. If you have not gotten your tickets yet, please contact Bridget to arrange for them, you can email her if need be. Congratulations everyone. Enjoy the banquet, the upcoming holiday season and we hope to see you all at the track in 2013!

Congratulations to Mike Kingma on his win at the 6th annual Kokomo Klash this past Saturday. There were 15 I-Mods present for the evening. Thanks to everyone who put up with the weather and the drive to make the 2012 Kokomo Klash a success for the I-Mods.
The 2012 I-Mod Banquet of Champions will be held on Saturday, November 10th, 2012 at the Moose Lodge in Rensselaer, Indiana. Doors open at 5 with dinner at 6 and awards and DJ to follow.

As you are well aware, the 2012 I-Mod Divisional Points have now been re-tallied. All drivers kept their top 21 nights and the rest have been wiped clear. For those driver's that did not have 21 nights on their schedule, no races were dropped. You will notice a big change in the final point standings. If anyone has any questions or wishes to see the tally sheets, please feel free to email me, and I will forward you both the ongoing yearly score sheet and the Final Score sheet dropping everyone's worst nights.
Congratulations on a competitive and clean 2012 season. Enjoy the banquet, rest up for a bit and tackle those cars for the 2013 race season! Keep checking for future updates and schedules.
On a personal note, it has been a pleasure working with all of you, drivers, crews, car owners and sponsors, over my 6 years as I-Mod administrator. I have made many friends and I am very grateful for those connections. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. I'll be seeing you - Amy Geruska, I-Mod Administrator

Due to lack of sponsorship for this race it has been my decision to Not have a race of champions at this time. With the rescheduling of the races at ShadyHill conflicting with Kankakee i don't feel that it is fair to the racers or the tracks to have this race on this weekend. I did not know about this until late in the season and did not have time to plan it out. I may choose to have this at Kokomo at the end of the season if i can get sponsorship and can get the track to go along with this decision. I know i have had to change things from the past administration as this has been a learning experience for me as the new owner. I will have a race of champions in 2013 season. The I-MOD Association is currently seeking a new title sponsor for the 2013 season and hope to have some news by the banquet.

My apologies for the delay in updates. I am officially settled into my new home and ready to roll!
First off, there has not been much racing the past couple of weeks. Sept. 1st was rained out at Shadyhill Speedway. Then for the first time in a couple years, Kankakee County Speedway actually rained out on Sept. 7th and Shadyhill Speedway was closed for Eldora Weekend on Sept. 8th.
Nick Pasek picked up his second feature win of the season on August 31, 2012 at Kankakee County Speedway. Congratulations!!
There is a schedule change that you all need to be aware of. Since the Labor Day Celebration was rained out at Shadyhill Speedway on Sept. 1st, they have extended their season. Sept. 15th Shadyhill Speedway will run their Labor Day Celebration with fireworks. Then Sept. 22nd will be their final race night with their Season Banquet being held on Nov. 3rd.

Way to go Terry!! And on Saturday at Shadyhill Speedway veteran Mike Kingma added another feature sticker to his sail panel.
The 2012 race season is winding down. There are only two nights remaining at Shadyhill Speedway, six nights at Kankakee County Speedway and we end our 2012 points race at Kokomo Speedway on October 20th. Check out the Schedule page for the remaining schedule.
Just a reminder, the 2012 points structure means that only a driver's top 20 points nights will count towards the final points. So be prepared to see the points race shift around as the weeks wind down. Good Luck and Race Hard!

Effective as of 8/1/2012 the weight rule is 2400# I think this will benefit most of the drivers that have gained some weight over the years and even them with the young drivers that are still learning to drive without having to add so much weight to these cars! With the prices of lead and others metals going up all the time we want to make this more affordable for all the racers!

Congratulations to our feature winners from this past weekend! Neil Martin took his 88 machine to victory lane on Friday night at Kankakee County Speedway for the second time this season.

Another weekend of racing is behind us. Congratulations to Mike Kingma on his back to back feature wins this past weekend. That gives Mike a total of 4 features this season.
As many of you are aware, there were a couple of issues found during tech on Friday night at Kankakee County Speedway. After the tech tools were checked for calibration, the ruling is that the two cars were indeed illegal. Therefore, those drivers have lost all I-Mod points for Friday night and will not be allowed to run until their cars are re-teched for legality. Therefore, all driver's who finished under those cars have been bumped up in the finishing order and given points accordingly.
This Friday, June 8th, KCS will have a full program with the Crosstown Cup Race #2.
Saturday, June 9th SHS will have a full nights program plus Teen-4 Doubles night.

The car count is wonderful at Kankakee County Speedway. We had 20 cars the first night and 19 cars on our second appearance. However, our car count at Shadyhill Speedway is rather low, 10 cars so far on both nights. In an effort to pull cars, the I-Mod Association has received an anonymous sponsor that is adding funds to increase the Shadyhill Speedway winners purse to $275 for the next four (4) weeks.
Also, this coming Saturday at Shadyhill Speedway is the I-Mod "Who Ever" race. Meaning after all the regular nights events, anyone can climb into an I-Mod EXCEPT the actual driver. It can be another driver, a sponsor, a spouse, a potential buyer, anyone. Lets get some interest in our class and get those cars out to Shadyhill Speedway!!
Finally, if you have not turned in your paperwork and registration fees, you will not receive I-Mod Points nor are you eligible for I-Mod Sponsored bonus monies. Make sure you get your paperwork and fees turned in ASAP!

My apologies to all. I understand that everyone checks the website almost immediately after race night. Since I am no longer a weekly staple for the I-Mod Association at the race tracks, I have to wait for the official results to be emailed or faxed to me. Being that it is the first week of racing, the race tracks do not have all the kinks worked out in their publication departments. Bear with all of us, it will get better.
As it is clearly stated, points will only be issued to registered drivers who have paid all Association fees. So if you don't see your name, don't worry, once fees are paid, all points from all races ran will be issued.
If anyone would like to submit a short written story regarding any I-Mod racing event, please email it to imodweb@yahoo.com . As long as the story is completely neutral in content and is written only about the racing action, I will post it here. I will NOT post any story that is one sided or complains about the race tracks. I use to write the stories weekly, but again, since I will not be attending the races, stories will be needed.
Also, ANY I-Mod video will be gladly used if you provide me the youtube link. I understand that if you are video taping, its is probably for the purpose of a particular driver. That is okay. I would love to include those videos. Just email the link to imodweb@yahoo.com.
Again, thanks for being patient with me. Things will get rolling smoothly in the next week or so.
ATTENTION DRIVERS!!
Please be advised that is MANDATORY to have a Raceciever if you plan on running at Kankakee County Speedway. You can purchase the Racecievers from Kankakee County Speedway for $100, it includes the earpiece. Kankakee County Speedway will be utilizing the transponders to line-up all classes on restarts. You will use Channel 110 Frequency 451.3625
Attention Drivers. On opening race day, you will be given a sponsor decal packet. These decals are to be placed in a specific location on the left side wing near the driver's door. Please make sure you leave a 10" wide by 20" tall spot near the driver's door open. These decals are vital! In order for any driver to be eligible for bonus moneys, special races or special awards, these decals MUST be in the location specified. Below is a sample of the way these decals would be placed, we are working on the possibility of 1 more in addition.
If you have last year's decals still on your car, you will have to remove ALL OF THE OLD SPONSOR DECALS!! They have all changed.
The new Hoosier Tires are available for purchase! Contact Series Director, Roy Mitchell to purchase.
Also, The I-Mod Association will be at the 3rd Annual Kankakee County Speedway Race car show at Northfield Square Mall on Saturday April 14th and Sunday April 15th during regular mall hours. You may pick-up your Registration Packets, 2012 Rule Books and meet the new Series Director, Roy Mitchell.
August 18, 2012 is scheduled to be the I-Mod Doubles Night at Shadyhill Speedway. Shadyhill Speedway doubles the pay of the Winner of the main feature and doubles the points for the rest of the drivers that night.

Paul's Auto Yard of Westville has stepped up to the plate to make it a true Double night for all I-Mod Driver's involved. Paul's Auto Yard will double the payout from second place through the last place finish.

Hoosier Tire Midwest is pleased to announce that the I-MOD Association has
come on board and will utilize HOOSIER Racing Tires as the official spec
tire for the series for the 2012 season and beyond. With a substantially
lower retail price to the consumer than current pricing and a point fund
contribution to the series, new I-MOD owner Roy Mitchell seen this move as a
win-win for everyone concerned. Hoosier Tire Midwest has made provision with
the series to allow the competitors to continue to use their existing spec
tires until July 1, allowing for a burn off and insuring that competitors
don’t get stuck with tires they may have in stock that can no longer be
used.
Tires will be available soon and can be purchased by contacting I-Mod Association Series Director Roy Mitchell for information on availability.
Hoosier Tire Midwest wishes luck to all of the I-MOD Association competitors and look forward to being able to provide a long lasting, repeatable product that will save the competitors money.

We here at RaceStar Concepts, LLC would like to announce that the I-MOD Association has been purchased by Roy Mitchell. Roy has been involved in motorsports for many years and has worn many hats including piloting a late model in the World of Outlaws national tour. He will take over all operations of the I-MOD Association immediately. Roy has also looked over the recently released 2012 schedule and points structure and has eagerly approved. He has also committed to keep moving the I-MOD Association in the same direction RaceStar Concepts, LLC has for the last 2 years.
On a personal note, everyone here at RaceStar Concepts, LLC would like to thank the drivers, car owners, crews, and fans for their continued help and support of the I-MOD Association. We have come a long way and the future looks great for the division. We wish Roy great success.

After much consideration the 2012 points
structure has taken shape and will give the
driver that only competes one night a week a shot at being Champion! There
are 42
scheduled nights for the I-MOD Association for 2012 between 3 race tracks.
While some
drivers may choose to run in every event, only the driver's top 21 feature
finishes will
be considered for the I-Mod Association points race. Heat races will no
longer be scored
for I-MOD points. Heat race finishes, however, will still be used by the
race tracks for their
feature line ups as I-MOD has NO hand in that process. This structure will
not only
simplify the points process, it will not penalize a driver for a few bad
finishes or for even
missing a race or two.
As in the past, there are
three (3) I-Mod Association Double Point nights. On these
particular nights, the feature points will be doubled and will only count as
one night of
racing.
It is time to gear up guys, racing is right around the corner! Good Luck this Season.
The 2012 I-Mod Association Race
schedule is now complete and posted!
