[Knoxville, IA] - - The IMCA Harris Clash, featuring
IMCA Modifieds, will again be broadcast live over the
Internet. This year, it has found a new home thanks
to www.RaceTalkLive.com. The free audio only
broadcast is slated for Thursday, July 19, 2007 at
7:00 PM (central).
The Harris Clash entry list so far includes over sixty
drivers coming from eight states. Some of the best
modified drivers will be in the pit area at the famed
Knoxville Raceway. If you are not able to attend the
race, then listen for free on www.RaceTalkLive.com.
There is more than driver pride on the line for the
win. The highest finishing chassis builder that
participates will win the Harris Clash Chassis
Manufacturers Cup. They will also have bragging
rights for a year.
"We were expecting to do the broadcast on another
network," stated co-host Bucky Doren. "They had hired
Chris Marchese and myself to be the hosts for their
show. They had to pull the plug pretty late in the
game, so that meant no broadcast for the fans."
The original schedule called for a pay-per-view event
that featured audio and video. A last minute
situation forced that company to have to drop the
Harris Clash from their schedule.
"Bob Harris (Harris Clash promoter) and I talked it
over, and if we could find a way to get it
broadcasted, we were going to do it for the fans,"
added Doren. "Chuck Hall told me that he was in the
middle of redesigning of the RaceTalkLive.com studios.
He said wires were everywhere, be he would burn the
midnight oil to get it done in time for The Clash.'
Hall deserves a big thank you."
"Special thanks needs to go to Pat Fagen and Fast
Shafts (www.fastshafts.com) as well," offered Bob
Harris. "They are helping put this last minute rescue
to a happy ending for the fans. Thanks to their
financial support, the broadcast will take place.
They came on board to help with the cost of the
broadcast, and they are also the trophy sponsor and a
product sponsor. The winner in both divisions will
receive a brand new custom driveshaft form Fast
Shafts."
Three Wide Media (www.threewidemedia.com), publishers
of Dirt Late Model Magazine and the all "NEW" Dirt
Modified Magazine have donated a special new Dirt
Modified Magazine jacket and a one year's subscription
of the Dirt Modified Magazine to the A Feature winner.
This new magazine will cover Modified racing to its
very best, and that first issue is slated to be
available in September.
Tune in Thursday, July 19th to www.RaceTalkLive.com
starting at 7:00 PM (central) for all of the
play-by-play action with Bucky Doren and Chris
Marchese. The IMCA SportMod feature (the event's
support class) will also be included in the free radio
web cast.
