FARLEY, Iowa (January 8) - The Deery Brothers Summer Series show at Farley Speedway has been rescheduled for Tuesday, August 3.
Touring IMCA Late Models were originally set to vie June 18 on the 3/8-mile dirt oval.
Due to a scheduling conflict at the track, what is now the 12th of 16 events in the 24th annual series will be part of Farley's final Tornado Tuesday program of the season.
The feature pays $2,000 to win and a minimum of $250 to start.
Restart procedure, rainout policy changed for Deery Series
Restarts will have a new look this season in Deery Brothers Summer Series features.
Double file restarts will be employed in IMCA Late Model tour main events. The lead car will be alone in the front row while the second place driver will have their choice of inside or outside in row two.
"There has been an interest in double file restarts from drivers for several years. Many tracks do them on a weekly basis and now seems to be the time to implement it for the series," said Tour Director Kevin Yoder. "It will be more exciting for fans and gives drivers restarting at or near the back a better chance."
Single file restarts will continue to be used in heat races and "B" features.
A change was also made in the rainout policy.
Should inclement weather intervene before all heats and "B's" are completed, those results will be scrubbed and a new set of qualifiers held if the show is rescheduled.
Previously, qualifying resumed at the point where the rain came during the original date.
Features must still make it to the halfway point to be considered complete.
In the event of excessive rain after the green flag and before halfway, drivers will continue to receive a pro-rated pay out based on their starting position. All feature qualifiers will receive 35 points.
