About

The UMSS Traditional Sprint Car Series is a value-based racing organization for the participants, race tracks, and race fans. Based in the Twin Cities, the popularity of UMSS is gaining momentum by establishing reasonable rules for the participants, an economical purse structure for the race tracks, and an affordable race ticket and fan-friendly program for the race fans. Just starting this new exciting Traditional Sprint Series was a vision of the UMSS board of directors and will be a growing attribute to all of motorsports and the UMSS. Having the different classes within the UMSS will allow for drivers to be part of one of the most talked about organizations in the country! Also coming on board is the Micro Sprint League of the UMSS in which you will see the micros hit the track for the first time this season.

With the Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series (UMSS), the economics of sprint car racing have changed for the better. Although the cost of building a sprint car and keeping it on the track continues to increase, the rules for the UMSS traditional sprint car realistically allows the potential participant to build a top-of-the-line car for under $10,000. Good used sprint car rollers cost between $3,000-$5,000, and a competitive engine can be built for between $2,000-$7,000, depending whether you build it yourself or use a professional, or buy one used. In addition to the initial low cost, the cost of keeping it on the track is estimated at under $100 per night. For more information, call Ron Bernhagen at 612-363-5302 or Joe Kouba at 612-751-4646.

Race Fans: The UMSS will entertain race fans with our brand of wild-looking race cars and very fast, and sometimes very volatile, racing action at a value-based price. Race fans will appreciate the addition of the UMSS program at the night's traditional cost or a slightly higher ticket price.

The UMSS has a niche in the Upper Midwest for an affordable sprint car series that will attract participants, allow race tracks to put on a special night of racing with something different, and entertain race fans with edge-of-your-seat action. For more information, call Ron Bernhagen @ 612-363-5302
