If they were part of the deal last year, perhaps 81 Speedway would have been featured on Dirt Knights tonight like The Great American Dirt Track (Jetmore) and Humboldt Speedway were. And let me tell you, those were two fine races too!!!
Makes too much sense to go Jetmore-Wichita-Humboldt in 3 nights rather than Jetmore-Humboldt in just 2. Dodge City Raceway Park may been missing out here as well.

isnt 81 owned by the NCRA crew... and NCRA rules mimick more of the IMCA racing than USMTS. this seems to me like it would be a good reason they didnt get any USMTS shows

Actually, NCRA and USMTS/USRA rules are more aligned - I am told.

I always thought it was just a tire rule that made the difference. I bet John Allen, Brian Franz and Scott Green could tell us. They've all run some (or a lot) of both.

Actually, one of the drivers you mentioned above states there really is no different between USRA and NCRA modified north rules. Thus is the reason as to a scheduled race at Humboldt Speedway.

The tires are different. Thats why I won't run any NCRA North.

I know the these are the FOR SURE differences...
tires, lift arms, schrader valves shocks, alm calipers, and steel heads only. sure seems like alot of stuff to change for the usmts guys to go race at a NCRA track.

They had a race at 81 speedway couple years ago. USMTS VS NCRA
Hughes wires field in first-ever O’Reilly NCRA vs. USMTS Modified Showdown
PARK CITY, Kan. – In front of a jam-packed grandstand—perhaps the largest ever for an O'Reilly USMTS National Tour event—Jason Hughes parlayed his pole position into his seventh O'Reilly USMTS National Tour victory of the season as he and his fellow road warriors took on the O'Reilly NCRA Modified Series at the 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan.
Although he led every lap of the 35-lapper, Hughes was shadowed throughout the event by Zack VanderBeek, then by five-time NCRA titleist Brian Franz, then again by VanderBeek in the closing laps.
Franz, who captured the AFCO Pole Award after racing from tenth to first in his heat race, started seventh in the Holley "A" Main, but clawed his way to second by the 12th lap. While Hughes chewed away at the extreme high side of the 3/8-mile clay oval, Franz hugged the bottom and challenged Hughes lap after lap to the delight of the fans at the home track of the NCRA.
By lap 25, VanderBeek found his groove and moved in front of Franz to take the runner-up spot, while Real Racing Wheels "B" Main transfers Jon Tesch, Jason Krohn, Kelly Shryock and Tommy Weder Jr. battled it out behind them.
A caution with five laps to go bunched the field and gave VanderBeek one last shot at Hughes, but this night belonged to the chassis builder from Westville, Okla.
VanderBeek settled for second for the second straight night while Tesch came from 18th to take third. Not to be outdone, Krohn turned his 21st starting position into a fourth-place finish and collected the KSE Racing Products Hard Charger Award.
John Allen stayed with the leaders the entire race and ended up fifth, followed by 14th-starting Brandon Kenny, Weder, 15th-starting Shryock, 16th-starting NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader and current NCRA points leader Marc Hurd, who thwarted a top-10 sweep by the USMTS invaders.
After a spectacular night, Franz slowly pulled into the pits as the white flag waved and wound up a disappointing 19th on the final scorecard

Sounds like a successful night. Maybe the Jetmore folks, Mr. Hall & Todd ought to talk about this. If Jetmore would move up to Wed & 81 go on Thursday, 81 could be the 2nd race of the Hunt and with the better travel, could mean more cars at Jetmore this year and that would be a good car count for 81 too and maybe even help Humbolldt a little although that show seems to do well anyway.
