I remember seeing the Super modifieds from Oswego at the oval in Douglastown NB...It was in the early 70's.......The night before, when they came into town, they assembled at the MET shopping center, in Newcastle, and I was lucky enough to see one of the cars push start, and the car made a few laps around the parking lot...Still remember the sound and smell.....magic.....
That is awesome! The sound and smell sure are magic - and I'm sure the sensation of speed from the super modifieds would be too! One of our SLMS admins is from Miramichi and has a newspaper clipping of when the super modifieds competed in Douglastown in the 70's! Thanks for sharing!
Oh man this is such an amazing scene and so unique to the USA! I’m from Germany and we have only one oval track in Germany (which has no races anymore since over 20 years, the last time a race was there when CART/INDYCAR came to Europe and raced the Eurospeedway Lausitz). If we’d had a local shorttrack scene I would definitely watch every race and I would also built a car myself! There’s no more local Motorsport in Germany anymore which is really sad.. Oh and I also think it’s sad that so few people are at the local tracks in the USA these days, the grandstands should be fully crowded at your oval! I hope the local shorttrack scene doesn’t die out because of the lack of peopl watching. It would be incredibly sad, since this is something very special that people can only enjoy in the USA. How often I just wish I live in the USA, I love the country!
We are actually located in Canada! We are in the Maritime provinces, with this race being in New Brunswick! However, we are only hours from the border with USA, but racing is very strong up here! A note - this race was actually postponed part way through to the next day. There was a much bigger crowd in attendance for the original date, but right before our feature event it started to rain, forcing things to get delayed. Hope you enjoy our races, as we plan to keep posting all year! We love having fans from all over, and would love to see you make the trip over some day!
