Dave “SpeedyMan” Ohh Brings Home First Supermodified Win at Terry Gibson Fast 50
January 8, 2019 – Sandusky, OH…There was little doubt that Dave Ohh would eventually win a Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), event. But the 15-Time ARL Champion used skill and superior moves to win the Terry Gibson Fast 50 at Sandusky Speedway in just his third start behind the wheel of the mighty supermodifieds.
Second First Time Winner
His win on Tuesday night marks the second time in the history of the race that a driver picked up his first SUPRS feature victory. Joe Achzet was the first to do so in 2012. The difference is, while Achzet had several years of supermodified sim racing competition under his belt, and was very familiar with the real supermodified division, Speedyman won in just his third SUPRS start and is not that familiar with the real race cars.
The CT driver is now the seventh different driver to win this race and the eighth different driver to win a SUPRS feature this season.
Other Race Notes
Earlier in the evening Brad Keysor, Steve Callahan and Dave Ohh won their heat races. During the feature, Ohh had the fastest lap of the race at 14.397 seconds and Bob Gangwer advanced the most places from his starting place at seven.
Big Show on Wednesday
Tomorrow, January 9, 2019, the SUPRS competitors are back at Sandusky for to try to become the 2019 Terry Gibson Memorial 100 Champion. Just four drivers have won this race with nearly all of them coming from the first two starting rows of the feature.
A brief practice session begins at 8:00 pm, time trials, heats, and a b-main will follow. The green flag is set to drop on the big race around 9:30 pm after opening ceremonies and driver introductions.
