BACK TO THE FUTURE with BIOBASED USA Sandusky Speedway King Of The Wings Open Wheel Extravaganza Supermodifieds vs Sprint Cars!

Even though we have 4 months to the race of the Supers vs Sprint cars at Sandusky Speedway. We already have 11 drivers signing
up early. This race has $38,000 purse, a $5000 to win plus $500 for fast time. We have 7 Supermodifieds and 3 sprintcars. Here
are the drivers so far. There are no rules for this race so the track records are certainly going to be reset for sprints and supermodifieds.

10 Drivers to date, plenty of time before July 16, 2014:

Kyle Edwards SuperModified - Tennessee
Dave McKnight SuperModified - Canada
Mike McVetta SuperModified - Ohio
AJ Leseicki SuperModified - Ohio
Jim Birges SuperModified - California
Dave Shullick SuperModified - Ohio
Tim Shaver SuperModified - Ohio

Don

Your link doesn't work.

The super is the way I wish Indy cars would have gone in the 60's. With just a few changes those things could be a great race car for the larger tracks and longer distance races. They have the right genes. You aught to work on that.

What does a Super weigh? They're pretty close in HP aren't they?

I believe the east coast supers are around 1,800 lbs. Don't know how many ponies they are pushing, I think some of the top teams achieve between 800-900 HP.

East Coast and Central USA Super Modifieds weight rules from:
ISMA and MSA are 1850 Lbs without driver 468CI About 860HP,
AVSS 410 Winged Sprint Cars are 1620 with driver, 410 CI HP 900+.

The Supers have less HP but more torque.

There are some 410 west coast supers that can get to 1600# pretty easy. Should be a great event.

You are right Rod. I see Birges from the west coast going to make the trip. I believe the west coast supers weigh as little as 1550. I also think they are allowed more offset to the left compared to the east coast cars.

I'd like to see a west coast car drop the weight and use the larger east coast wings. I think their only disadvantage would be track time.
