MLMT News & Notes

- To all the teams intending on competing in the season opener at Memphis Motorsports Park, sign up now--March 12th (45 days prior to individual event) is the final day to register for free. Teams will still be able to register after the deadline, but will be assessed a $500 entry fee.
- Fans can expect the Memphis entry list to be made public March 13th. This will include all teams who registered their intent to compete before the 45 day deadline, and will give fans a good idea of what trucks they can expect to see in Memphis.
- Registered teams are required to show up at Memphis Motorsports Park no later than midnight Thursday, April 24th. MLMT officials are adamant about this rule and we’ve been told that it is not flexible.
- Technical inspections will begin at 8:00AM Friday morning, April 25th. The MTRA Rulebook is available on the MLMT website, as well as at www.MTRA.us. All trucks will have to pass inspection to be allowed to compete. Teams will be allowed all day Friday to make any necessary changes and pass inspection.
- An MLMT official stated that all dates currently listed on MLMT.com are confirmed and will happen as listed, with two caveats. 1) The Iowa Speedway July 5th date is still pending and subject to change. 2) Additional dates could likely be added as discussions are ongoing with venues.
- The MLMT official also confirmed that the series’ television package is in the final stages of completion and will be announced sometime between now and the season opener in Memphis. The TV deal was described as “impressive”. We’ll be looking forward to that announcement.
