ISMA Supermodifieds return to Airborne
ISMA Supermodifieds return to Airborne
For immediate release – Airborne Park Speedway – APS-012714-1
SOUTH PLATTSBURGH – Airborne Park Speedway had added an International Supermodified Association (ISMA) event to its 2014 stock car racing schedule on Saturday, May 24.
It will be the 3rd-ever appearance on the South Plattsburgh half-mile for the winged, big-block methanol fuel-injected 800HP Supermodifieds.
The Supermodifieds Airborne debut produced the closest finish of the 2010 season - in a race won by multi-time ISMA champion Russ Wood. In 2011, Ted Christopher of Plainfield, Conn. drove to victory for car-owner Clyde Booth. That same year, Rob Summers of Vernon, Conn set a fast-lap track record in 14.020 seconds. ISMA Supermodifieds average over 100 mph per lap at Airborne and reach speeds in excess of 130 mph on the straightaways.
Lou Cicconi Jr. of Aston, PA, the defending ISMA champion, will pilot a Clyde Booth car at the Airborne event.
“I’m looking forward to that one, absolutely,” Cicconi said. “I’ve turned some laps in a DIRT 358 Modified at Airborne while working with Todd Stone, but mechanical problems kept me out of the ISMA race the first time I was there.”
“It’s a great track for us,” ISMA President Howie Lane said. “This is a stand-alone weekend event. All the teams love the place and they have notes from the earlier races. They should run even tighter this time.”
Airborne’s 61st season weekly schedule begins Saturday, May 3 with a 50-lap feature for DIRTcar 358-Modifieds as the main event.
On Saturday, March 8 at 1 p.m. – regardless of track conditions, Airborne plans a “Meltdown” Demo Derby and Enduro for 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder cars. Both the Demo Derby and the Enduro will pay $500-to-win – for more info, visit www.airborneparkspeedway.com.
