It would be really cool to see the supermodifieds at Winchester, especially ISMA! make it an all open-wheel show with sprint cars and or midgets. That would be one of the can't miss events of next season.

Supermods at Winchester!!!! Oh yeah. I'm having to breath into a paper bag just thinking about it.

Please, make it a Saturday show if at all possible.

Any open wheel show (including the USA Mods) at Winchester is a special thing, but the Supers take it to another level.

BTW, I also think the CRA Super Series is a first rate show. How about the Main Event Outlaw late models. They're pretty damn cool too.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as I remember several years ago the Holdemans brought in a Super.

The idea was to set a ultimate track record, but as I recall the Super did not run as fast as the USAC Sprints.

I believe that Bently Warren was the driver.

Thanks for posting RJ Scott

It's a very plausible explanation.

The Holdemans were great promoters there, I use to call and they would hold me reserved seats under the press box for every sprint race from year to year. There were times they would hold 15 seats for me with no deposit. I wish they were still there, they were a class act.

Lesson learned: Don't try to get into another man's pocket! In Greece they take your hand off at the wrist.

:thumb times 100 for supers at Winchester!! Not sure of the dates but I know I witnssed them there in the 80's. I can remember Gene Lee and Todd Gibson, Joe Gosek and Tom Marks (from Michgan in the Stickney car).

Teaming that up with the sprints and/or midegets (like Toldeo and Berlin) would definitely draw a crowd.

Please do whatever you can to make it happen:checkered:

Seems to me there is some sort of miscommunication somewhere along the line. If somebody was trying to pull a “fast” one, why would they then get on the internet and bring it up? I would think they would try it and if it didn’t work they would move on. I don’t think they would bring it up to people’s attention on a message board. Others seemed to have had some issues as well so to me something happened. You’re telling me all those people were trying to get in with a June ticket? One or two people doing that (mistakenly or not) I could see, but sounds like there were several that had problems. There is more than one ticket window so is it possible that one of them gave out different tickets for any amount of time? Even a short while could cause an issue. Just throwing it out there. I exchanged mine in June so I didn’t have an issue. I just don’t see somebody getting on the internet after the fact to post about the issue if they were trying to cheat somebody….doesn’t make sense.
