john carl they are definitely cool machines. But the cost to run one is more than a asphalt sprint car. I’ve built a few in my day from frame up and have to say that until you strap into one and race it, you will be dissatisfied with any other car you race. Lol Only thing that matches and might even possibly beat that is a asphalt sprint car. Once you drive either, driving another race car just ain’t as fun.
I've seen the supers before at a local track and have always wondered how they'd perform on a track like bristol. It'll looks like the xtreme sprint car got thru the turns a little easier than the supermodifieds but damn those things are fast!
Im a Supermod lover of 30+ years but I must say those sprinters are Fast! When both types of cars are at Berlin Speedway (Michigan) The top sprints are quite a bit faster than the top supers,..and they put on a better feature(IMO). I'll always love the supers, they are ground pounding works of art,.. but big props to the sprint car guys!
Think you need a special oval rider who rides seriously fast sports bikes to get a decent time , someone like king kenny , it takes something special to ride at the constant limit of a grip on ovals
The guy that impressed me the most was Clauson, 140 MPH in a non wing car. He had some BALLS!
He would have easily been the best USAC driver of all time if he didnt die.
Supermodifieds are racing’s best kept secret... just incredibly fast machines
Not really a secret, more like no one cares about them because there are faster single seater race cars.

They are Great cars!
So who else wants to see a spring double header with the super modifieds, and MSR Sprint Series? I DEFINITELY DO!
Mike Lichty has some huge balls. He can wheel these things!
410 sprints are 1400ibs. 350 block bored over to 410ci. dyno around 900hp

wow that takes some balls to get your knee down on a bike on that banking!!!
would love to see what a winged outlaw late model would do around there
They ran 148 If I remember , decided the cars weren't safe enough to justify running them again there
@BillydieKidd funny part is they still didn't beat a super by much was only SUPER 13.267 SPRINTCAR 13.245
@racermac1988 next they need to try them at RICHMOND with the Modifieds
Indiana super outlaw late model would put up a great fight
I'd love to see what an Indycar could run at Bristol, but damn are those Modifieds fast!
CarlsonsRaiders indy or F1. But the F1 fans would go ballistic seeing their beloved F1 cars on an oval.
It would be to small for Indy, and f1 would blow their motors they are made to take turns not go in a circle
@@connorhughes1269 you do understand that an oval is 2 turns connected by straightaways, right?
indy cars can be regeared
I ran an IndyCar on iRacing at Bristol. Tough as hell.
omg johnny benson
i would like to see that at richmond RIR
Wow , that’s sportsmanship, other crew helped out knowing he was a contender for the tittle , hats of gentlemen
You can this weekend at Oswego Speedway at the King of Wings
Think you need a special oval rider who rides seriously fast sports bikes to get a decent time , someone like king kenny , it takes something special to ride at the constant limit of a grip on ovals
Get kenny Roberts out there he will kill that motorcycle record. He went a lot faster than that on dirt
How 'bout an Indy car, or a go cart, or a GT car, or a rally car?
None of them have the power to weight ratio of a supermod or sprint.
A sprint car is around 950 hp and weighs around 1300lbs.
@racermac1988 i do, i do
Scott Russell sounds like Wade off GTA 5
@racermac1988 It will be nice, hell at the speed they go they might even be able to race together...
Holy fuck balls
I like Benson, but he's far from everyone's favorite driver. lol
Mustang beat the superbike... lol
