Rules
A pair of rule changes will affect the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders in 2010. First, regarding wings, a 1” wickerbill will be allowed on flat wings only. Dish wings will not be allowed a wickerbill. Also, lapped cars will now go to the back of the field on restarts, instead of holding their position.
New Board Members
Two new board members have joined the Sprint Invaders. Tony Anderson, of “Dirt, Dust and Speed” and a Stronghurst, Illinois native, and longtime mechanic Tom Brockett of Muscatine, Iowa have joined the board. The Sprint Invaders family would like to welcome both.
