Call it my age (23) and having not been around long enough to TRULY appreciate the long long lineage of the Sprint Car evolution, but, I don't personally have a problem with these tanks. Easier to letter, ease of assembly/repair and potentially better weight management.
Back in the day that they raced with tanks like this the cars that ran them were called "Super Modified's". A step down from the "magna fluxed paper carrying" Sprint car of that time.

Honest Dad himself
They used to run them on the sprint cars in the 70s in Florida at Goldengate Speedway and other tracks around here but I think that is where they got the idea

Go to www.floridastockcars.com. You can see a bunch of old sprints and drivers,not just Florida driversA lot of guys that came down in the winter
Might be easier to letter (so would a stock car or a board), but the car number sure isn't going to be visible to fans in stands if they don't always run a topwing...
