Mid-West Drag Racing Series names John Sears as Rules Director

The Mid-West Drag Racing Series is proud to announce that John Sears has been named Rules Director for the 2025 season and beyond.

“After long conversations in the off-season, and his increasingly busy schedule, Lonnie Grimm and I felt this was a move in the right direction. We want to thank Lonnie for his support and guidance, since Day One, with the series and look forward to seeing him at races across the country.” - Keith Haney

John oversees rule sets with classes and events very similar to the Mid-West Drag Racing Series. John has been in the game for very long time and has a great history for fair and balanced pairings across multiple classes.

John’s first order of business is to review our current rule set and begin to create a more simplified package from a new perspective. This will include removing unnecessary combos that no longer run the series and implementing changes that could be used by racers from across the country. “With his work at other events and series, we feel that John will create a balanced and fair package for racers” - Keith Haney

“I am excited to be a part of the Mid-West Drag Racing Series in this capacity. With my work on other events and series, I look forward to creating a rules package that provides parity across the board for racers currently in the series, as well as those looking to attend. The preliminary rules package tightens up a few things, based on my experience at other events, but still provides opportunities for the current racers. With the increased payouts for Pro Mod in 2025, it’s never been more important for everyone to have a fair playing field.” - John Sears

A preliminary rules package can be expected by the end of next week, with the full set coming as soon as possible. To stay up to date, follow the Mid-West Drag Racing Series on Facebook, Instagram and the Website.
