Just search “Dirt track Deaths” and you’ll find a LOT of them. I know I saw quite a few career ending and fatal accidents on the local tracks over the years. I doubt most people quite grasp the power of a sprint car, Probably among the greatest power to weight ratios you’ll find in motorsports.

I love sprint car racing. Smoke coming off the rear wheels, front tires dangling in the air. Half race, half rodeo.

Indeed. I laughed out loud when some media golden girl got all upset when she issued a breathless report that Stewart "revved his engine aggressively". - that's how you steer a dirt car, little miss.

Speaking of fatalities, you should have seen it before seatbelts became mandatory! Seat belts add weight! - whaddaya need thems fer?
