Harris still living the dream in 40th season of IMCA support

AMES, Iowa (April 27, 2022) – The boss at Bob Harris Enterprises has an anniversary to celebrate this season. While his Ames, Iowa, company gives awards to special events competitors in five IMCA divisions again in 2022, owner Bob Harris marks his 40th year of association with the Vinton headquartered sanctioning body. “I’m kind of that old-school dude who believes if something isn’t broken, you don’t make changes. I’ve been very happy to be associated with IMCA,” Harris said. “It’s been fun. I’ve had the privilege of doing a lot of things I enjoy.” “I’ve been a racer, a chassis builder and promoter as well as a sponsor, so I’ve seen all aspects of the sport. Racing has always had its ups and downs,” he continued. “Technology has changed things but some of the stuff we do hasn’t. We’re still building race cars, still building shocks and living the dream.” “The only thing I can complain about is the weather and that’s not something I can do anything about.”  The 31st annual Harris Clash, IMCA’s longest running [Read More]

Noteboom cashes in at Memorial Clash

JEFFERSON, S.D. (May 26) – Jay Noteboom trumped a stout field of 24 Artworks Graphics IMCA Modifieds to take home the top spot and $1,500 at Park Jefferson Speedway’s Memorial Clash.   At the jump, it was Chad Ten Napel jumping out to the early lead followed by Bob Moore and Chris Abelson. Eventually, Abelson wore down Ten Naple to take the point. Noteboom and Moore swapped the runner-up spot with Noteboom utilizing a crossover move to secure the runner-up spot.   Abelson, who appeared to have checked out and was possibly counting all $1,500 of the top spot, got loose between turns three and four and jumped the cushion. This allowed Noteboom to power away for his third consecutive victory and set the stage for a colorful post race interview with the new Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifier discussing preferred driving lines around Park Jefferson.   Abelson worked his way back to second with rookie Todd Boulware finishing third.   Noteboom also moved his name to one away from Joe Kosiski on the [Read More]
