Passing.... What passing was there at Oswego by the Supers,
What passing have you see at a USAC Asphalt Sprint Car. If you want to see passing watch MSR on TV. Two points... We did not bring any start and parks. Sure we could of brought 22 cars to the race but nothing pisses off a promoter worst than start and parks. Honestly my car won the race and I wasnt even looking back in the back. We had started the race with what we believe was a blown head gasket and on 7 cylinders. So Patti forgot to watch. What I did see was a complete sell out at Oswego of at least 7000 and when is the last time you saw that. Also Lets give a congrads to Sondi Eden in her 2nd ever Super Modified race to get 9th out of 32 cars. Sondi won the hard charger award and beat 24 ISMA and MSA Super Modifieds in her second race. Might be because she is a sprint car driver. Bottom line we were prevented from practicing on friday but the supers were allowed. They didnt want the sprints to have any time on the track. Give us some laps and we will certainly run in the mid 14's. We did the same at Bristol. We particlpated in the fastest half mile challenge and ran one set of tires for two days. We beat two Supers that have let not forget 58 more CI than a 410. They have more tire to turn with. And yes we do weigh 350 lbs less than a super. Bottomline I hear all about how supers are faster than sprints. Well I have challenged any super driver to race my sprint car. I have no takers from MSA or ISMA. We honestly believe we can turn 14.5 at that Oswego Track. Can anyone tell me of a single track in the USA where a super is faster than a 410 Sprint. As the Supermodified Scorecard Blog stated after the race ISMA is now officially a support series to MSR. And lets not forget I own two Super Modifieds and I love them. I believe my super at Oswego can break the 15 second lap times. We qualified 4th out of 33 cars, not had for a start up team. We are just waiting now for our two new Micheals engines. Suellen PS. I am afriad I am gonna have to challenge my sprint car with my own super modifieds. Yes this will be a 40 lap race and I am posting up $3,000 and I expect that to be matched. This should be easy picking for a super modified team. I have been hearing about Super Modifieds being faster the entire race. Than lets have some fun and race. Lastly: When we took Jason Blonde to be the worlds fastest man at Bristol he had to beat two Super Modifieds. He did with a 13.3. Than he went back to Bristol and turned a 12.9 and the fast sprint car time was 12.7. My math says we are still at Bristol .6 tenths of a second faster than a super modifieds. Like I said give me one track in the USA where a super is faster than a 410 winged sprint car. Not Oswego, Not Toledo, Not Berlin, Not No Where!

Who really cares how fast something is? I'm sure sprint car racing was just as awesome if not more 50 years ago when the cars were slower.
I don't go to watch a car go fast, I go to watch cars race, with drivers driving them. I saw the MSR deal at Anderson a few years ago, yeah, it was cool. Would I go there over Gas City or Putnamville or really even the micro sprint tracks, no, I wouldn't. It's all about the racing that goes on. When you are wide open, or close to wide open it comes down to who has the biggest motor, biggest balls, and the most stuck car. To me, that makes qualifying neat, but to me, that's not a race. |

I made my first trip to Oswego and was blown away by both the supers and sprints! I had a blast and got over 400 pics of all three classes. I'll share some here once I get them uploaded.

Its amazing the different point of views you see amoung race fans, or for that matter people in general. We live close to oswego (my daughter just reminded me we live in oswego county) but I wouldnt go even if they let me in for free. Went once and was bored to death after I got used to the speed (of the cars). I will say that the first time one runs into the corner your thinking no way is he gonna make it, but they do, lap after lap. Different strokes for different folks, makes the world go round.

Suellen, if my memory serves me correctly last years King of Wings race was a packed house as well. This was the 7th year for the Old Timers Reunion that event combined with King of Wings has traditionally drawn large crowds. As does the upcoming Mr. Supermodified race on August 4th, Classic Weekend over the Labor Day holiday will draw an even bigger crowd for the whole weekend than you saw last Saturday. Memorial Day Weekend and 4th of July weekend events are bigger events and also draw good crowds, weekly attendance and car counts have also been increasing since the change in track ownership last year.
Hope I have interpreted your post correctly and you are bringing your Super Modifieds back to run over Labor Day Weekend, are you planning to run both the winged and non-wing shows per chance or just the wigned show? Patti |

There is no question sprint cars are quicker than supers, at any track they both race at. That is old news now.
But why not open MSR up so the teams can run ART or Hoosier? Like they do at the Little 500... Next question to Mr. Wilshe... How many teams, given the choice, ran the American Racers in the Little 500? |
