HOLLAND MERGING PRO FOURS, STINGERS INTO SINGLE CLASS

Holland Speedway management has announced that in 2005, the Pro Four and 4-cylinder strictly stock Stingers will combine into one class, known as the Pro Fours.

The Pro Fours, formerly known as the Mini Stocks, have been part of the Holland program for five seasons, designed as a cost-effective 4-cylinder "super stock" style class.  The Stingers were established as their own class in 2003 as an offshoot of the popular 4-cylinder strictly stock Hornet division, with  the class designated for higher performance strictly stock cars.

"The rules for the two classes were not that far apart," noted Holland General manager Tim Bennett, "and we let some of the Stinger entries compete with the Pro Fours in 2004 and found them to be competitive.  We've adjusted the rules so that we should have a very healthy and very exciting combined class in 2005."  The new Pro Four rules are now available on the Speedway web site at www.hollandspeedway.com.

The Pro Fours will be a Speedway sanctioned division in 2005, and will alternate dates on the regular schedule with the 8-cylinder strictly stock Challengers.  In addition, the Pro Fours and the Challengers will be a part of the "Enduro Madness" specials scheduled throughout the season.
