Pro Late Models in Second Race of 2012 romoter Tim Bryant has y oh my how time M flies!! Do you real- Pteamed up with John ize that tonight puts us at Dykes, of South Alabama the mid-way point of the 2012 season? Just like my birthdays; they come and go way too quickly. If the first half of the season is any indication of what the remainder of 2012 has to offer, then you fans are in for a treat. end the first half in L100et’s style and have another lapper. That is what you will see tonight as Five Flags Speedway will be hosting race number 2 for the Pro Late Models. All drivers should be eager and ready to race again at “America’s Favorite Home Track” after a long lay-off. March 30th was the last time they have been in action here so count on a good car count. Mike Garvey is the points leader in the Allen Turner Hyundai Pro Late Model 100 Series.

Speedway in Opp, and are hosting a two night series for the Pro Late Models. After tonight most of these drivers will journey 100 miles to Opp for a 100 lap Viper Series race at SAS. During the drivers meeting tomorrow, they will draw a driver’s name from a hat. That lucky driver wins a brand new set of Hoosier tires. The eligible PLM drivers will be the ones racing here tonight.

What’s the Difference? Well, there is a lot that is the same on both classes of cars. Tires, shocks, fuel, set up, body style, height, spoiler, and so on. The one BIG difference is the power plant. The PLM engine is limited in horsepower to make racing more affordable. Most use a crate engine. No tweaking inside the sealed engine allowed. The SLM cars run about a half second faster, and the engine cost is about 5 times more. Specs
