Oh man, how I would LOVE to see Super Modifieds on Speed. I'd never say a bad word about that channel if they would only broadcast the International Classic from Oswego Speedway. I love the cars there much more than the winged cars in ISMA.
I usually go to Rochester every year in February but missed this year. I'm thinking about going over the summer, and if I do, I'll be going to Oswego.
And yes, you're right, coverage of the Modifieds would be great. It's actually probably the best racing in NASCAR. I'm not a big Silver Crown fan, but God I love watching the midgets both on pavement and dirt. At Oswego they are a trip because they are so light they can run damned near anywhere on the track.
I still believe that if they could, FOX would eliminate everything but Nextel Cup and BGN on Speed.
