WEEDSPORT, N. Y. – September 4, 2012 – They may be at home on the track, but on Monday, Sept. 10, the Big-Block Modifieds of the Super DIRTcar Series take to the streets – the streets of downtown Syracuse. Starting 11:30 a.m. at the new Destiny USA, formerly Carousel Center, a parade of 800-plus horsepower Big-Block machines will rumble through the streets of downtown Syracuse.
