Actually it's done with mirrors, and money, the more money you add, well, you know what happens, then you look in the mirror and say, "what have I done"? Naw, really, it's not a question that can be answered in so many words, it takes years of hard work and whatever else you have. Bob

I think what he is saying is that there isn't enough time in the day or memory on this site to answer that quickly and concise.

That link might be a helpful starting point...but like the above posters have said, your question's pretty general to get much of a concise answer. Just look at some of the more specific questions here in the tech section that have post after post of information on 1 specific part of the car.

The link above is better, but Wikipedia has a sprint car entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_car also. A sprint car or midget is a race car devoid of any single piece of kit that it cannot function without (except the body panels). Rules meant to curb costs restrict any huge influx of technology and attempt to maintain a level playing field. On occasion inventive racers do manage to tip the playing field a pinch with a bit of creative tweaking. :2:
