Recently saw some posts of new cars prepped for USAC season. At what point does it become a hybrid looking Sprint/modified? I would never want to sacrifice safety, but this is also sports entertainment in which the human element should be primary.

If carbon fiber is legal (I'm not looking up the rules & am out of the loop...lol - not that I ever really was anyway...), it's proly as much of that as it is sheet metal...lol

Mr Devin sent me a rulebook when I was a race official yrs ago in their it stated openings on R/S had to be so big, don't know if it's changed since then. I see some of these sprint cars where the R/S opening is very small & w/ these containment seats I hope drivers can get out quickly of theirs a fire. I never saw a rule book so complete b4 in my life as that USAC book was

I'm disgusted by it too. The Chili Bowl midgets had wings/spoilers mounted on the back of the cage behind the drivers. It's almost at the point where I will stop following the sport as they become less and less the cars I used to love.

This has to be an over 50 post....

I'm under 50 and not a fan of just seeing a helmet. Seeing a driver work the wheel shows a lot of what the car is doing, and how smooth or not they are.

I only stated that I believe the person who started the post would be over 50.......and I bet I am right.

Not a fan. Age 31

I wish they would completely enclose the driver with a roof that attaches with hinges. I also think they need to have fenders to make them safer. Cars should be fully enclosed.
