I must say, when I first saw this ad I was a little skeptical about how this would pan out. Car count is down all over the state. So why are guys going to put wings on there cars to come race for 2 grand, when they wont come race for 2 grand without wings.

Monday morning quarterback call: put the 2 grand in the truck purse, and raise the back of the pack pay. So maybe you can draw that many truck again. 50 bucks to start a truck race is on the very low side.

They had 3 cars, Moff put a huge lexan wall on the left side and ran low 14s. Batman #0 had a sprint wing and lexan boards on the rear both sides, another OWM was there with no modifications other than 10in tires. I think Moff ran away with it but I didn't see the race. But man was he fast.

I enjoyed it a lot, anybody who's knows me knows I think outside the box and love stuff like this, I wish the other tracks would try it some time. Moff had the Side dam and I tried the wing theory, we both had pushing problems. Moff had already ran a few practice sessions before I got there. I got 2 practices and we learned every time we went out more. They gave us a 15 lap feature and I could run the same as Moff for the first few handful of laps then the push got worse. We defenitly got it faster but it was still a experiment on both sides. I would do it again in a heartbeat. As far as the 10inch tire on are wheel, I always have and still vote for it on are cars. I might have at the most 40 laps on the tires and they still have the lines in the middle, besides the car was way more in control. I'm sure the wing had a lot to do with it lol. All in all in was a blast, the most fun I've had in awhile. Don't complain, gripe, whine, cry, or give a opinion about Desoto for trying it if you didn't even go and watch. The rest of the classes had great racing. Thanks Desoto and hope you do it again. BATMAN 0

If the class and/or special events become popular and frequent, do you think a wider wheel would be better?

Another thought that I have had for a while...

Not that there is enough money to go around as it is, or more than enough classes to go around as it is, but...

There could be a local supermod (per se) class--built to look like Northeast Supermods--approximately analogous to our current mods resembling a NE Tour mod.

That is, a ton of offset, bodies and wings that look like NE supermods, but current mod or late model (or less) engine and other similar rules to keep costs in line with other current race cars.

The whole question would be--how long would it take to build enough to have a class?

On the other hand, if most parts were current parts, a Team could choose to build one instead of a second car.

I bet you did have fun. I love the idea of being able to try that stuff. i imagine with a few practice dates you would be able to work out all the bugs..........was the tire a 10" slick ? And i would support that for sure.......lol. Did moff get the track record he was looking for ? P.S. did you have any clearance issues with the tire ?

[Boneman]

Here is a pat on the back to Batman, Doug Moff and whoever else actually got out in the shop, went to work and tried something different. That idea had the potential to be a hell of a show. Maybe it is not over yet.

If they gave guys a few months notice and scheduled it right they might have something. People would come out to watch cars like that.
IF someone had the fore thought to plan on running them once or twice a month at their track next year, i think a lot more guys would do it. You could come up with a set up that could easily be put back to normal mod set up and race elsewhere if you wanted.
