Using the title “Supermodified” is very misleading.
I wonder how many people will believe they are going to see the real thing, only to find out they are Florida Modifieds with lexan sideboards.
It’s like going out to a Crab dinner, and then finding out you’re getting a Krab dinner.

Or, a Charlie Swartz mid-engine machine?:
Or, how 'bout a four-wheel-drive, rear-engine SUPERMODIFIED?:
hope they have a good turn out. A couple things that i wish they would have done differently to promote this into a bigger event. I dont know how long they have had this posted on spacebook but surely not long enuff on this site for a guy to really make some modifications. They scheduled on top of a track that will most likely get a good draw of cars. I applaud the outside of the box thinking with this type of race but they will learn not to schedule on top of yoho. I truly hope both tracks have full fields.
I thought they spelled it out pretty clear in their ad.
Florida Super Modifieds (they even separated the words for us)
IMCA type modified (not IMSA…or MSA…or SMRA…or even NESMRA…)
10" tires (not +15")
57% left side (not 70%)
7 lbs per cubie (not 1850 lbs total)
I think most people might know that they aren’t going to see some Oswego Supers travel all the way to Desoto just to go 50 laps for $2k to win.
(Perhaps those Ohio guys would…but not the New Yorkers. lol)
I guess I just really want to believe that most people could figure that out…
…even if Jerry and Jimmy can’t.
(Don’t worry folks, they know I’m just funnin’ with them.)
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
