$Starting 24 cars total purse is $38,000 and a practice on Tuesday.


It's BACK TO THE FUTURE with Bio Based USA as they present the one and only Sandusky Speedway King of the Wings Open Wheel Extravaganza on Wednesday, July 16th. This will be the very first major event in many years to feature both the Supermodifieds and Sprint Cars running together. It’s a one-time event showcasing the fastest short track racers in the country. If you miss this one you will miss it forever. Finally the world will know which racecar is the fastest in competition.

We have received several calls with suggestions including an hour long very informative session with a car owner. The concerns were how much to win, what's the purse and let's talk about that tire rule.

The answers are that the winner of this event won't make as much as if he had won the Hi-Miler but it will be more than what an ISMA driver makes at a regular event. Here’s your purse: 1-$5000, 2-$3500, 3-$3000, 4-$2500, 5-$2000, 6-$1500, 7-$1250 and $1000 for 8th place back to 24th place.

The complete purse is rather stout due to the fact that if you make it to the feature you are guaranteed $1000. The only exception would be someone who decides to start and park the minute he gets the green. Remember this if you remember nothing else, unless you are involved in a major accident at the beginning of the race and can't continue you must make at least five competitive laps to get paid anything.

Then there is the tire rule. One racer wanted to run American Racer tires. That answer is NO! The traditional tire for both Sprints and Supers is Hoosier and that isn't changing. The whole idea is to keep costs down and buying eight tires for one race just doesn't cut it. With that in mind there will be a four tire rule. Along with that the Supermodifieds will use the MSA tire rule which is the same as all the other sanctioning bodies running Supers. The Sprints will conform to either the Auto Value and/or Buckeye Super Sprint tire rules.

So let’s make this simple, there will be NO weight rule, no left side rule, no wing rule, no engine rule and the only tech inspection is for safety.

There will be practice on Tuesday evening July 15th with old tires and then qualifying, heat races and a fifty lap Feature Event on Wednesday with four new tires.

There is no fuel stop for a 50-lap race but if a major incident stops the show for a while the race will go red. Remember, any rule made must benefit the Supers and the Sprints equally.

There was a question about show-up money. Yes, not a lot but enough so you don't go home broke. Remember, we pay with cash immediately after the show.

You can call Kevin Ruic at any time at 440-376-3919 to either ask a question or discuss a suggestion.

I wonder if anyone has one of Bill Hite's rear engine supers in a garage somewhere? Those cars were rocket ships. I remember Ricky Otts with one at Winchester, putting that car in places I never saw anyone go before or since. Maybe Chet Fillip knows where ones at. With no rules, this would be the car to run.

I think this will be an interesting evening of racing. I would like to go and see it but for the life of me can't figure out why you would run it on a Wednesday night? I personally don't see it being quite the success that Don thinks it will be. Oh well, who am I to know anything about successful promoting?

Great throwback concept of years ago. I remember going to Sandusky for the first 8 or 10 Hy-Miler Nationals and guys like Johnny Logan, Bruce Robey, and Bob Seelman all ran Sprints against the Supers. Great show. If my memory serves me correctly, I think Logan won the Friday night race one year in a bright orange #99 Sprinter with chrome rims. Guy drove his ass off to win that race. They did the same thing at Winchester for years. It's a great show. Rich Vogler beat the Supers with his Sprinter many a time. The only thing that would hurt this event is the mid-week scheduling. I haven't seen Sandusky's schedule yet, maybe this event should be aligned with the Hy-Miler event to ensure it's success.

While maybe not a direct conflict, I believe this event falls right in the middle of ISW? Fans following the ISW trail might bypass this event.

Hy-Miler is the 25th-26th

First thing I looked, USAC sprints at Terre Haute that night.

The weekend before and the weekend after both have at least 2 sprint and or super modified races.
So the promoter Kevin Ruic decided to run the race in the middle of the week. i am not the promoter
but have supported the event with 1 of each type race car heads up.

I remember Harry Kresser running with the supers in dirt sprint that ran Fremont every Saturday.

Latest on the purse. $5500 to win

To me, having it in the middle of the week means there are no conflicting dates.
