I'm not saying it's fun to sit and watch them on your 13" TV. But you can't say you could do some laps in it without having fun. Just like you couldn't drive an 8 second car down a drag strip without having fun.

Either that or he had a scarring experience as a teenager going to a dirt track race, and after drinking 5 Schlitz tallboys, ended up making out with his sister? :razz:

He probably moved back to Idaho just to fulfill that exact redneck dream.

wow lack of sprint car knowledge in the thread
If he tracks it its not any oval track and if he dose its not driven like a normal sprint car, more then likely its only drag strip stuff
1: No good way to get the stagger right on the rear tires ( outside smaller than the inside tire)
2: no rake at all to the rear wing = Lift not down force = bad news
3: I assume it has a normal transmission in it, sprint cars are Direct drive with just a clutch and 2 speed rear end.
4: Sprint car engines are 700ish HP and run on Alcohol, so while that may be possibly in that car it would have to have a hell of a cooling system in it too keep it cool just siting in trafficOriginally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Thanks for your wealth of knowledge. Fortunately, I think we all know this is a custom built show car that only hits tracks for fun and show.
It's got a fucking back seat and a license plate (insurance, state inspection, registration...). Come on...
But I do like how you noticed the stagger of the tires but didn't notice the fact that they are all season street tires.

No I noticed that they were all seasons, I said that it would be hard to get the proper stagger mostly because of the fucking fenders
And Yes I get the fact that its a show car dammit, just pointing out that its prolly not gonna be seen on any dirt track near youOriginally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.
