    Took the Sprint Car out for a spin...











    Went to the grocery store and saw this guy. He said he actually takes it on the track (I'm guessing road racing or drag or something). Pretty sweet idea, it's probably fun to drive. The thing was HUGE (Look at the last pic, you can see my car behind it). And the motor sounded mean.

        That is crazy! I bet he gets a lot of looks. Just throwing this out there but judging by that spoiler I'm going to say he does a lot of circle / oval track. Probably on clay / dirt.

          Isn't the wing the wrong way for circle/dirt track?

          I'm pretty sure they run CCW. His wing is oriented for CW running... Strange

            motor sounded viscous? Sorta like he was running 90w-140 gear oil in the crankcase?

                  My brother was telling me a story of how he was at an Infiniti dealership, and the sales lackey was telling his friend the car had a vicious LSD. Vicious! Maybe it had 80% lockup or something. That would be vicious.

                    The body was carbon fiber. There's a lot of engineering in that thing. Far form "stupid redneck shit". You might not like how it looks, but it's not junk.

                      Yeah spelling it wrong is one thing, but saying it wrong?

                        Sprint cars are anything but red. For those of you who have never been to a race or are non-believers, you try drifting for 21 laps straight.
