I just realized today that I’ve managed to see sprint car racing in six different decades. Honestly, I don’t feel that old, but there it is.

Some of us come from different parts of the country, been to different tracks, seen some different eras, witnessed different winners. I thought it be interesting to see where everyone started attending races.

Q: “What year did you see your first sprint car race? At what track? If you remember the winner that day mention that as well.

For me it was:

WINGED SPRINT CARS
1976: Weedsport Speedway NY – URC show. Twin features that night were won by Bill Wentz Jr and Randy Wolfe.
The very next day we went to the New York State Fairgrounds and saw Kramer Williamson win an open competition sprint car show (with supermodifieds) on the Syracuse Mile.

SPRINT CARS (Non-wing)
1992: Susquehanna Speedway PA - CRA show won by Leland McSpadden
