Pound for pound sprint cars are the most lethal machines ever to scatter soil. Since the turn of the century they have awed spectators with slide jobs, wheel stands and 4 abreast formations. With power to weight ratios greater than any other racing automobile, sprint cars give an adrenaline rush that nothing else can suffice. Weighing just 1400 pounds and pushing out over 900 horsepower only the bravest living souls would dare to strap in to these methanol drinking rocket ships. In the early days of the sport sprint cars roamed the lands traveling up and down the backroads racing at county fairgrounds, unfettered by rules. They were known as Outlaws. These men were the early pioneers of racing,
they were true iron men.
I did my final exam essay for english on the history of the sprint car last year for school. let me know if u want more.

Over-rated, over priced, over promoted, over hyped, things with funny looking hoods that kind of go around in circles at places most people have never heard of. Oh wait, that was Formula 1, sorry.

A big engine, big tires, big wing and just enough room in the middle to strap in a big set of balls. Or perhaps, 1400 lbs of dirt slinging, wheel standing, broad sliding, 900 hp, fuel injected mayhem.

That's right...big engine, not 360c.i.
Hey Nick...just ask Guy (not to be confused with Le Demon Blond my Canadian friends)...real sprint cars have more than 360c.i.
