Mike Stelter ran ESS in NY state with a square tail and they made him change it to the traditional tank.

This is said square tank dressed in a traditional tank cover.

I like it looks like an old dirt supermodified.

Interesting spoiler on the tank. USAC's rulebook limits a bumper to 23" past the front of the axle. Maybe it is the angle of the photo, or shorter hood, but that thing looks like it could reach out and touch you. Levi had a bumper like that last year, but it didn't seem to stick out that far.

Where was the picture taken? Is that Sammy in the car? Or is this something he built for someone else?

Just from doing a search of sponsors and the car number, it seems to be Dylan Peterson. Go to this FB page, and look at the folder of wall photos and it shows some build shots from last May.

Guilty, who else will admit it? I have resisted getting on facebook quite successfully for sometime now. I'm somewhat "non-social" (my wife calls it "anti-social", but what does she know?) and don't really feel the need to stay connected to everyone I've ever met. Besides she is on it enough for both of us plus a few people. I actually have contemplated joining so that I can get faster updates about rainouts and breaking news concerning tracks and such, but I have yet to do it.

Re: New sammy sprint car
 
Is Sammy planning on running some USAC/non-wing races? Last time I remember him without a lid in a sprint car was at the CRA race in Hales Corner, Wi.
in the beautiful black TMC sprinter. That would have been around '91? He biked it big time on his first time trial lap, and dumped it hard on the 2nd. Car was loaded and off the property before the first heat race began, if I remember correctly. I think he was running coil overs on that car also. Beautiful car, but handled like a pogo stick in the corners!

Not many years ago at our fairgrounds here they ran what they called modifieds or super modifieds, they had wings but many of them had the same look as this car.

tjcain58 2/8/11 7:50 PM

They ran 100" cars with square tanks from the late 60s up to the early 80s here in ks ok and tx. Kville nats had em when that first started too.

Re: New sammy sprint car
 
I remember when if you had a pointed sprint tail tank you had to tape a box or something on it to run at the Missouri State Fair for the State Supermodified Championchip.
I also remember Bill Utz having a car he could transform back and forth depending on whether he was running as a sprint or supermodified I beleive.

Daboy 2/9/11 6:37 PM

That is Dylan Peterson. He runs at Rock Rapids, Iowa every Friday night. It is also a non downtube Wolfweld chasis.

Re: New sammy sprint car
 
Thanx for posting that tim. I was gonna say the old ewsc super modifieds had square tanks on them. I belive they were basically sprint cars with a transmission.
