This weekend kicks off the start to another small tire racing organization looking to give the local racer a place to fit in. The Midwest Outlaw Racing Series, or M.O.R.S for short, is set for its inaugural event and their slogan is “For Racers by Racers”.
Gino Cavallo, Matt Bell, and Justin Cyrnek have been racing for several years locally and wanted to help expand the scene a little by traveling the gig to a few well known local tracks. Being racers, all with business ownership and management backgrounds, they wanted to organize a series that was laid back with no frills and provides a fun, family oriented experience.
Any and everyone are welcome and encouraged to come and race or at least check out what they are doing. The organizers have gone out and secured money and products to guaranteed pay outs to every racer that wins a round will walk away with something. The organizers want to provide to the large number of heads-up racers in the Midwest area a change of pace without the large expenses of travel and to promote the great Midwest race tracks and venues.
There are a lot of great companies and people behind Midwest Outlaw Racing Series and the entire staff like to extend a huge thank you to those people and any future contributors who are helping to grow the series. Current sponsors consist of Chicago Intermodal Trucking, Inc., Chicago Industrial Equipment, Inc., Redline Motorsports, Inc., Midwest Chassis, Inc., D.B. Stone, Ultimate Chassis, Burkhart Chassis, Illinois Lift, VP Fuels, Menscer Motorsports, Pyramid Pizzeria and Sports Bar, Automotive Engine Specialties, and CRT Technologies Along with Product Donations from ATF, Schoneck composites, and Double AA performance.
