The
winged supermodified is a purebred racing machine. Its tube
frame is hand-built, with special considerations for lightness,
stregth, and placement of sespension parts.
It
weighs 1850 pounds and is powered by a 470 cubic inch, 800+
horsepower engine which hangs off the left side of the frame
for better handling capabilities.
The
areodynamic bodywork and wings are of aluminum. The back of
most of the wings are connected to air shocks which allows the
wings to rotate into a horizontal postion on the straightaways,
allowing less drag and more speed, and then into a more vertical
position in the turns giving the rear wheels more downforce
and the car a higher cornering speed.
The
results of all this technology gives the winged supermodifieds
the speed of an Indy Car adn the quickness of a Midget. It's
not uncommon to see a pack of winged supers three and four abreast.
Darting in and out of traffic and changing lanes in the middle
of the turns.
With
out a doubt, ISMA Supermodifieds are the ULTIMATE in short track
racing machines!
