EPPING, N.H. (Sept. 19, 2021) - The 56th Annual Star Classic started on Saturday looking to be another great one as a good field of ISMA supermodifieds began filling the pits along with many other race cars. With the more than 20 cars ready to do battle only two things could mar the building excitement. One would be competitor attrition and the other weather.
Both managed to occur. Saturday afternoon, as time trials were held, the attrition began with two cars out of the action due to motor ills and one, the 25 of Dan Bowes, taking a hard hit into the tires on pit road, doing extensive damage to the car. Then the weather reared it's ugly head just prior to the Classic 125, causing the 350 Super Classic to be delayed and pushing the Star Classic on to early Sunday morning. Only 16 of the ISMA supers were able to make the call to start the Classic, unfortunately, with Ryan Locke 37 and Danny Connors' 01 leading the way to green.
JENNERSTOWN, Pa. (Sept. 11, 2021) - Otto Sitterly continued to strengthen his lead in the ISMA points by dominating the Allied Milk Producers night at Jennerstown Speedway by winning his heat, topping the time trials and taking the 50-lap feature. While the car count was on the light side, the cars that attended were capable of putting on a great show of speed and prowess for the fans.
OSWEGO, N.Y. (July 31, 2021) – The King of Wings event for winged supermodifieds began at Oswego Speedway in 2009 and Saturday night it was resurrected with Canadian Mike Lichty taking his third victory out of the ten events run over the years. Lichty commented in victory lane after his win that he “wasn't a fan of starting up front because it took a longer run to get up front and checked out”. He thanked Patco Transportation, Craig Reed, Level Motors, and all of his crew, in victory lane as he donned the coveted KOW crown and cape.
