I can still close my eyes and see the vapor trails coming off those wings. they were the fastest ive seen there.

Anybody want to guess the speeds they were hitting?

The supers were there twice. I believe Joe Gosick won the first time and Chris Perley won the next.

168 seems to ring a bell.   11 second laps. But I could be wrong

Frankie Kerr was faster in his 410 sprint car on pavement than the supers were.

Weren't the Supers there for a free admission night when the track was first  paved. I remember seeing the wings moving when they gased them up. That free night the place was mobbed!!

You must confused about the free night .I paid twenty dollars for that first on asphalt.The free night was later in the season to try to draw fans.After that opening nobody came to the races.That free night had sportsmen,late models which Billy Pauch won and tq midgets.

I believe the record was 152. The draft was so strong that it blew the lights out that were strung across the track!
