The 2025 Sunset Speedway season opened on May 3rd with the Steve Slaughter Classic.
The event included the St. Onge Recreation Super Stock division.
Fourteen additional Super Stock weekends are on the Sunset calendar to determine the class champion.
The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the '60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a 'stepping stone' for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category. The Flyin’ Frank 49 Super Stock Invitational was initially scheduled for the Spring Velocity weekend. However, inclement weather forced Sunset officials to reschedule the event to August 3. Drivers competed in a forty-nine lap contest around Sunset Speedway’s 1/3–mile banked asphalt oval. |
