The top 6 teams in points in Langley Speedways Modified Division will be locked into the field,
regardless of qualifying time. These 6 will be determined after the regular Langley modified feature to be
run on May 24th, 2008. If any of the top 6 cars choose not to run in this event, then no additional “locked
