For those who are interested former USAC SC competitor Richie Tobias qualified 16th fastest today for the Super Dirt Week XXXV DIRT Modified race at the Syracuse, N.Y. mile.

Speedchannel has carried that race in the past. Wonder if they, or anyone, will?

This year it is a pay per view event being shown on Dirtvision. Highlights on Dirtvision are free and being shown at 12:05 a.m. Wed. thru Sat. and one hour after completion of the 200 lap feature on Sunday. Scheduled to start at 2:15 EDT the race should be over about 4:30.

Thanks, Dwight!

Dwight,

Do you know why Richie dropped off the SC circuit? I thought his dirt car matched pretty well lookswise with the new pavement cars.

Rich Tobias has been manufacturing a new line of race car in Pennslyvania called a "Slingshot". They have been running indoors at Atlantic City, NJ, and outdoors at tracks in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Minnesota. It is a growing company that has a website at:

The Rumble In Ft. Wayne promoter Tony Barhorst and Rich Tobias have an agreement to have the Slingshots run at the Indoor Races at The Memorial Coliseum Expo Center on Dec. 28 and 29, 2007. We look forward to it.

One of the greatest races I have ever witnessed was when Tobias won the Ted Horn 100 a few years back. Awsome!

Where have they raced in Indiana? I haven't seen them run and they look pretty cool. Do they run pavement or dirt or both?

They can't even get a full field in Pa

I agree with that! He started shotgun in the consi and the 100 and went on to win.
