Wild and Wacky Format

The Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby has the craziest format of the wing season. The SUPRS racers have to time trial, run a heat, and try to qualify into a “Canadian Pursuit” all as they race against each other and as part of a two-man Snowball Derby Challenge team.

The Snowball Derby Challenge teams are set up right after time trials with the slowest driver from time-trials matching up with the fastest from time trials, the second fastest with the second slowest, and so on. Competing for points in every race of the night, each team member has to do his best for the team, but also be considerate of how his teammate is running.

At the end of the night, the two-man team with the most points between them wins the Snowball Derby Challenge Championship and each driver gets 10 bonus points added to his season championship tally.

Ready for Challenges of New Track

This aerial photo clearly shows how Delaware Speedway is wider at one end than the other.

Coming back from a nearly 20 day break to allow members to spend time with family and friends for the Christmas and New Year holidays, you can bet the SUPRS racers are ready to take on the challenge of Delaware Speedway for the first time.

After three chaotic Snowball Derby races at Mosport Speedway, the sanction has moved the race to Delaware Speedway with the goal of putting on a better event. Make no mistake though, while not as oddly shaped, or as narrow as Mosport, Delaware, which is shaped like an egg with a narrow tight corner at one end and a more sweeping corner at the other, will present it’s own set of challenges for the SUPRS competitors.

Part of the allure of the new venue is the fact that it’s the site of the very popular Harvy Lennox Memorial for the International Supermodified Association, (ISMA). This popular race at Delaware is one of only two stops in Canada for the popular supermodifieds and one that honors Canadian racer Harv Lennox. This year the race takes place on August 15.

About KTimmins77

Supermodified fan for over 30 years. Heard about this MOD and had to give it try! Been doing graphic art and design for along time. Owner of Breezegraphics Supermodified Art. Specializing in Vinyl Stickers and Window Clings. So designing my own paint scheme is right up my alley. :) Looking to enjoy some SUPRS racing and meet some new friends. Picked #77 in honor of "The King of Supermodifieds" Bentley Warren. I'll never forget that ragged old car (former swift 10pins) he used to muscle around The Steel Palace in the 70's.
