               CARNESVILLE, GA – The Ultimate brand of Regional Super Late Model Racing is expanding, as officials of the sanctioning body have announced today the formation of the Ultimate North East Super Late Model Tour that will sanction special events in Pennsylvania.  The Ultimate NE Tour now brings the Ultimate family of Regional Tours to four.

 

               Fastrak/Ultimate Founder and CEO Stan Lester began in the Regional Super Late Model business with the Ultimate Super Late Model Series in the Southeastern United States.  The Ultimate Battle of the Bluegrass Tour was formed in 2016 to sanction super late model special dirt track events in Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana.

 

               This week, two more Ultimate Regions were announced with the Ultimate Mid-Ohio Valley Tour in West Virginia and Southern Ohio, and the Ultimate NE Tour.  Lester has set a goal for each region to keep their events within a three-hour radius of the center of each region.  The races will pay a minimum of $3,000-to-win and $400-to-start.

 

               “The first Ultimate Super Late Model Tour began to draw competitors from over three hours away from the center of the Tour two years ago,” Lester said.  “That’s when we formed the Ultimate Battle of the Bluegrass Tour to accommodate drivers coming down South from Kentucky and Indiana.  Since then, we have been getting calls at our office from Super Late Model competitors in West Virginia, Southern Ohio and Pennsylvania, so we have developed two more Ultimate Regional Tours in the Mid-Ohio Valley and the North East.”

 

               Rose Compton of Pittsburgh, PA has been named as the Director of the Ultimate NE Tour.  Compton comes from a racing family and is ready to take on the task of putting together a super late model tour from the ground up.

 

               “I’m really excited to get the Ultimate North East Tour off the ground and running in 2017,” Compton said.  “I look forward to working with the tracks and the competitors to see that everyone benefits from this.  Stan Lester and I have talked at length about getting this off the ground in Pennsylvania and we will begin low and slow with trying to do five to six races in the first season.”

 

               Lester said the Regional concept of super late model racing is all about economics and creating opportunities for the majority of super late model competitors in the United States.

 

               “Since I formed the Fastrak Pro Late Model Series for dirt late models using the economical Chevrolet Performance Circle Track Engines in 2003, I’ve always been about trying to help the racers save money so they can keep racing,” Lester said.  “There are only a select few super late model teams out there that can afford to travel five and six hours or more to race on a weekly basis.  In keeping our Ultimate Regional Touring races within a three-hour radius gives more teams an opportunity to race in higher-paying special events, and not have a lot of travel expenses.”

Oh boy. Another regional series that won't have any drivers follow it. We already have 2, UFO and ULMS. Really don't think a 3rd is needed?

Guys, we have headed to the NE to provide what we hope are better shows, thicker payouts and in 2018 a very strong championship. It will be a little light this season as we got started a little late. We are not here to bash anyone or actually compete against anyone in particular, but here to hopefully provide a package that makes our teams and tracks a little money and the fans a great show.

 

God Bless;

Only 4 Ultimate teams towed North to run at the Georgetown Delaware show last year. I was expecting Ferguson, Roberts and others. Ended up with Rambo and Kenny Collins.

This isn't part of the main Ultimate tour. It's a regional thing. Think MACS....

If there was a good regional series run like the RUSH LM series for supers, I'd be on board for 10-12 races.  Organized effort, fair purses, run professionally with different points money. Problem is non exist. I recall MACS had a decent following.

That's exactly  what this Ultimate Northeast thing is going to be. A solid regional tour of 12 or so races that pay solid purses and a decent points fund.
