Just wanted to thank everybody who helped make the first Super Series event at Gateway extremely successful. It was bigger than I'd hoped, (even with most of the blown and stick-shift Mustangs at WFC), and will only get better from here.
Super Stick Eiminator was awesome for the spectators and the racers. There was everything from 8-second smallblocks to a 20.50-second pickup. The first round was a riot to watch and one battle had a true-win margin of nine thousandths of a second! The first Super Stick winner was Todd Tosto's four-speed 427-inch smallblock '68 Firebird. Runner-up was a shocker in Jason Stange's 5-speed '97 Saturn SL from Pacific, MO, running 13.50s at 106 while beating 9 and 10-second cars all night. It was Stange's first bracket race ever!
The Supercharged Showdown had everything from supercharged dragsters and Pro Modifieds to turbo Volvos (!) and a fair amount of breakage (as expected). Kevin Goss won it in his blown smallblock El Camino over Larry Hagedorn's 10.7-second street-driven blown '70 Monte Carlo. Mike Corneglio made it to the semis in the wife's turbo 350Z! Congrats to Adnan Omerovic for hitting a best-ever 11.08/136 in his turbo Talon.
The idea behind this series was to give blown and stick cars a chance in a bracket race while presenting an event for an entirely different segment of the Bi-State racing population...both racers and fans. It was fantastic and I'm sure Radical Rich Tivitt will lose his voice completely at the next one on June 15th.
Just wait 'til the Fords get back in town!
