TAMMY $10,000 SUPER MODIFIED WEEKEND COMING UP Early Bird Ticket Discount Ends on Friday July 28, 2009 John Houghton Delaware Speedway PR
The arrival of the ISMA Super Modifieds at Delaware Speedway is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year. This year promises to be twice as exciting as the ISMA cars invade Delaware Speedway for two days of speed, action, and great racing memories presented by Sloan Insulations and Patco Transportation. There is also an added $4,000 on the line for the ISMA drivers put up by Corr / Pak Merchandising. 2009 marks the fourth year in a row the coveted series has graced the Delaware half-mile after a previous twenty-year absence. The cars in the American-based ISMA (International Super Modified Association) are the most powerful cars to visit Delaware Speedway each year. The majority of the vehicles are home built by the race teams themselves. The light weight of the cars combined with the over 850 horse power the cars generate create a recipe for quick times around the speedways the series visits. The cars also have large wings mounted on top of the car mounted on air shocks which change the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle to create extra down force in the turns and reduce drag on the straights. The cars are also directly driven off the engine which means the cars require a push start and have no starter and no battery to further reduce the weight of the cars. The ISMA Super Modifieds will be racing on Friday, August 7 running their heat races and a 30-lap feature sponsored by Sloan Insulations. On Saturday, August 8 the action heats up with heat races and a 50-lap feature for the ISMA cars sponsored by Patco Transportation. The ISMA Super Modified drivers will have an added incentive to attend the two-day event. Corr / Pak Merchandising is putting up a special prize bonus program the “Tammy 10-Thousand Dollars”, named after the legendary Tammy 10 Super Modified race car piloted by Harvey Lennox at Delaware Speedway. The company is making an additional $4,000 available as a bonus to a driver who is able to win both races. If a driver is able to win both events, the $4,000 combined with the ISMA purse money would earn them a total of $10,000. If different drivers win each race, the $4,000 will be divided up among the top-5 drivers from each feature race over the two days. Harvey Lennox himself will be on hand throughout the weekend signing autographs and meeting with fans. Along with the ISMA cars, Delaware Speedway’s NASCAR Whelen All-American Series classes will be taking to the track. Friday evening features the APC Late Models, Demar Aggregates Trucks and the popular Throne King’s of the Hill Spectator’s race. Saturday night highlights the Delaware Speedway Super Stocks and POWERADE Modifieds. Spectator gates on both days open at 6:00 pm with racing starting at 8:00 pm. Saturday night also features a special autograph session for the ISMA Super Modifieds. The early bird discount for ISMA Super Modified tickets ends this upcoming Friday, July 31. Fans who purchase their tickets early through the delawarespeedway.com website (here) will receive a discounted admission. Tickets will continue to be available through the website after the early bird pricing ends and will also be available at the gate. The weekend also features free unserviced camping with admission. The campground is located behind the back straight and is accessible on a first come-first-served basis. Prior to the August 7-8 race weekend, the next race event is this upcoming Friday, July 31 sponsored by Hayter Walden Publications and Phone Guide Access Pages. The racing lineup features the POWERADE Modifieds, Delaware Super Stocks, and Demar Aggregates Trucks. The evening will also feature the wild Ultimate Sandblasting and Coating Chaos Cars running their obstacle course following the final feature race. Gates open at 6:00 pm racing starts at 8:00 pm.
