MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY PREPARES TO HAND OUT THE CASH!!
MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY is excited to announce the recipients of The 2011 BAEHMAN LAW B-MOD POINT FUND!! As announced on March
29th, 2011, USRA B-Mod racer - and class fan Jack Baehman decided to fund an unbelievably generous point fund for the USRA B-Mod class for the 2011

The point fund pays a whopping $3000.00 to the "Point Fund Champion" and pays back through the top 20 competitors who met the point fund criteria.
There is also a $250.00 bonus paid to the competitor who raced every point fun show and ended up with the lowest point total.*
The 2011 BAEHMAN LAW B-MOD POINT FUND awards checks will be presented during the 2011 MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS BANQUET
scheduled for Saturday December 17th at the Riverport Inn & Suites located in Winona, MN.
"I can't even begin to explain just how fortunate the USRA B-Mod racers are to have a supporter such as Baehman Law at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER
SPEEDWAY," said speedway owner Bob Timm, "and any time we can find a way such as this to reward our regular drivers by putting a little extra
cash in their pockets, is a win-win situation for all involved. We all owe a HUGE Thank You to Jack Baehman and Baehman Law!"

With the season finale at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY came over 160 cars to compete at the Western Wisconsin oval for Friday Evening's portion
of the two-night affair. National Championships were being chased for the USRA B-Mods with the top three contenders in attendance. The WISSOTA Super
Stocks and the WISSOTA Street Stocks also had the top two in each division present to duke it out for their national titles, and duke it out they did
. . .
With Friday's action completed, the pits were almost bursting at the seams for Saturday's final on-track action at MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY
and the racers were bursting with anticipation to hit the high-banks and sweeping turns. With new National Champions needing to be crowned in two
WISSOTA divisions and a tight battle for national points in the USRA B-Mod division the race fans in the grandstands were amped up as well for a night
of action . . .
