Ok so the last blog was a bit of a downer. Sorry about that. Let’s pick up the pace a little here! Holey smokes, that’s was a long day but man was it cool! Now you all know how much I love supermodified racing. You all know how I say they are the baddest cars on [...]

Wing Side Up By Bob Gangwer (Reprinted from MARC Times Racing News) Goshen, IN 07/21/02…..Silver is a precious thing, rare, colorful, and valuable. It’s especially so when it involves an anniversary.

Silver is a precious thing, rare, colorful, and valuable. It’s especially so when it involves an anniversary. Nowadays, not much lasts twenty-five years to make it old enough to qualify for having a "Silver Anniversary".

In today’s society, we all know the state of married bliss, statistically speaking, rarely makes it past 5 years, let alone 25. The life expectancy of today’s automobiles seldom stretches past ten years.

However, occasionally something is so special, touches so many people, and leaves a lasting impression so deep, that it just never goes away. It goes on. Sometimes there are rough years, other times the events seem stellar. Through the good and bad, it makes it to the 25th or Silver Anniversary.

Sandusky Speedway’s Hy-Miler Supermodified Nationals has made it to that hallowed ground. This coming weekend marks the 25th edition of this prestigious supermodified contest. It’s a hard race to win. Few have ever repeated over the course of those 25 years, and of those that have, most haven’t made it past two wins. It is considered by the majority, one of the hardest events to finish, let alone excel at, and it never fails to produce electrifying and capricious endings.
