Decline of Super Modified Races Hits Lorain and Sandusky
Linda Cudlin notes last Friday at Lorain County Speedway five cars started the supermodified feature while eight contested at Sandusky Speedway Saturday. Promoters’ high purses and excitement fade as low turnouts persist, Wing size rules hurt sprint cars, roadsters dominate, and many sprinters sit idle amid dwindling local interest.

A proposed solution is a new affordable division modeled after the East Coast Limited Supers, using tubing chassis and stock V6 power with 10 inch tires. Local promoters Boos and Lavall show interest, urging owner and fan support to launch a regional form of stepping stone racing.
