2007 ASA Late Model Series Registration
Numbers are now open and available to new teams.
By: ASA Late Model Series
Lexington, Michigan (11/16/2006): The ASA Late Model Series presented by GM
Performance Parts 2006 season is technically over with just the two
non-points/indoors events remaining at the DeVos (MI) Place in Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
On Saturday and Sunday December 16-17, 2006, the ASALMS will make history with
its' first ever indoors extravaganza as part of the Mason-Dixon/Dixieland
Challenge II at the massive DeVos (MI) Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Both
events will showcase the best of the best from all divisions of ASALMS racing
and give our teams a great send off for the season.
As an added bonus for the Mason-Dixon/Dixieland Challenge II, the 50-lap
Features will now pay $3000 to win and if one driver can sweep both 50-lap
main events, a bonus $1000 will be added for an impressive $7000 weekend!
The 2006 Annual Awards Banquet will be held on January 20, 2007 at the Clarion
Hotel and Conference Center in Louisville, Kentucky. We will celebrate all
three divisions at the event and award plenty of cash and prizes. Earlier in
the day we will host the 2007 Annual Owner/Driver’s meeting and give teams a
chance to share their ideas.
Marking the end of the 2006 season, 2007 Registration is open in the ASALMS
and numbers are now open to all teams for the upcoming 2007 campaign, which
marks the fifth anniversary of the ASALMS.
The ASALMS Home Offices do need to have the 2007 license application completed
even though you filled out the same form in 2006. This is for insurance
purposes and needs to be done each year.
The 2007 license application will allow you to register for one division or
all three on the same form. The cost for the license includes the driver,
owner and number. License applications are available on the websites under
downloads or by scrolling down this press release and downloading the needed
forms.
If the driver and owner are different, each one needs to complete the
application and submit it to the ASA Late Model Series Office. (You do not
need to pay the license application fee twice, just the forms)
The 2007 season will mandate that teams register the crew chief and spotter
for the team. These crew members must have ASA Late Model Series Licenses. If
you have more than one spotter, all of them must be licensed. These crew
members need to complete the license application and submit it to the ASA Late
Model Series Office.
If you have a W-9 on file and nothing has changed, you do not need to resubmit
that form. Minor releases need to be redone for the 2007 for anyone under the
age of 18; This is mandatory.
All forms can be faxed to; 1 (810) 359-5985 or mailed to the ASA Late Model
Series office at 7360 Elm Street, Lexington, Michigan, 48450. Payments for the
licensed can be made with cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or
Discover Card.
Please remember that it is your responsibility to contact the office to renew
the number. We have over 200 teams and although the ASALMS will try to work
with everyone, it may not be possible to hand call each team to renew these
numbers.
The 2007 license applications are available on all three sites under the
downloads sections.

On Saturday, January 20, 2007, the morning begins at 9:30am with the 2007
ASALMS Owners/Drivers Meeting for all divisions. This will run from 9:30am

Following the Owner’s/Driver meeting we will begin our celebrations of the
2006 season. At 4:30pm cocktail hour begins with Hors D’oeuvres that will
run until 6:00pm. The awards ceremony will run from 6:00pm until approximately
8:30pm and will be followed by dinner, dancing, and some ASALMS style year end
partying.
The meeting and awards banquet are open to all participants and we encourage
our new teams to come out and get to know everyone.
The 2006 season was a year of major growth for the ASALMS teams and series and
it has proven to be a success for all. 2007 will see some changes that will
benefit our teams and continue to build on our foundation; the ASALMS teams as
we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the ASALMS.
The series will re-institute the ‘Winner’s Circle Program’, which will
reward the teams that come out to the majority of our events. The series
points fund in all three divisions will see some growth as well as a couple of
bonus programs that will reward our teams.
The accelerated growth of the series in 2006 was a major undertaking for the
series officials and teams. There was a bit of a learning curve involved that
comes with every venture. We all saw our good days and our bad days, but at
the end of the day or in this case (season), we are ready to head down that
road again.
We hope many of you will join us and work with us to continue to make this the
best late model series in the country.
The success we have had has always come in a package that includes the series,
teams, officials, sponsors, tracks and fans. In 2007 we will stay that course
and continue to build on that. Throughout the country short track racing sees
its share of struggle and hardship, together we can do our share to bring back
the glory days of short track late model racing.
