marc200mph Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Landlord, I have watch them run at Volusia in Florida. The wing flattens out on the straight then almost goes to almost 90 degrees entering the turn. They have springs on the rear wing mounts and can adjust them. They are wicked fast! ...Indy Car on Steroids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hray Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Actually they have run them at Indy. They were so much faster than the Indy cars they won't let them run there anymore. Marc's right....Indy car on steroids. They are a regular class all over the midWest and PA and NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
see86go Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 They visit a couple of local tracks here in NE Ohio several times a year. At Lorain County Speedway, a fast 3/8 mile track, fast time is usually in the 11-second range. Imagine a heat race run in about 1 1/2 minutes! These guys have some serious talent to be able not only qualify one that fast, but to race inches apart from each other at those speeds. There are some in-car videos on YouTube of Jack Smith running his Super Modified at Sandusky Speedway, a flat 1/2-mile track, and that beast he is driving is going so fast you would swear he was on a 3/8 mile or shorter track.

jumbo Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Those supers are way past stupid fast. They're also the most unforgiving on the smallest wiggle of anything I've seen.Loads of fun to watch if you like good,hard,FAST racing. Wonder how many jet set playboys wound strap they're ass in one of those if thats what a Indy car was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 One video from Concord,NC started about 34 of them, and the wrecks at Oswego the cars were gone form the engine forward. Those are real racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelracewriter Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 They raced at our track in South Bend(Ind.) for many years. They eventually priced themselves out of the class(gee there's news!) To say they are scary is an understatement, we had one stick itself in the catch fence one night and hang six foot off the track until they cut it out. Back then they weren't quite the sleek looking things they are nowdays, but still. I guess budman would call them ugly cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
