Looking for no longer raceable sprint car for training
 

In light of the recent accidents in sprint car racing
I am looking for anyone who may have an old sprint car thats not raceable but is as complete as possible for training purposes only. Would like to be a roller, but dont care if the parts are junk or bent. The training will be like safely uprighting a car with driver still in it or removing a driver as quick and safe as possible in worst case scenario. Also trying to come up with some sort of plugging devices to plug fuel lines or the tank should they seperate from the car or break or have a small puncture. The training would involve the track owners, officials, emts, and fire crews. This is in effort to make it as safe as we can for everyone involved with the limited resources that are available.
Safety is my number 1 goal at any racetrack I work at. it could possibly involve a few local drivers that may be off from racing on a training date to be strapped in the car. The more real that we can make it, the better prepaired we all can be, and most important thing is the drivers feel safe when they roll out onto the track, and hopefully wont ever need to use it, but should it happen we will be more prepaired and no 2 accidents are ever the same. My goal would be to have at least 2 a year one before season starts and one in the middle and anytime in between should we need to do so
any ideas or thoughts from drivers??? If you dont want to post it on here please feel free to send a private message and i will get back to you. Thanks Jim

Let us know if we can be of any assistance.

KD Tools Hose Pinch-Off Pliers - 3791 they have different sizes too
SKU: KDT-3791 these would work good to pinch off fuel lines when I seen them take a tail tank off the track Sunday night I thought it would of been nice if they had something to close off the line so someone didn't have to ride in the back of the mule holding the line up so fuel didn't run out

Where are they located at and I will check into it. Thx

The Bloomington Speedway should have a complete roller for fan viewing by the sprint week show. I would speak with Kris Kircher, their GM, and see if they would like to play a part in this. If you need an extra seat, or anything else, let me know.

I have a pair of vice grip's w/ some bar stock welded onto them. I've used that for clamping off fuel lines - cheap too. Try to keep'em in my push truck :6:

I think this is a great idea. You may want to get in touch with the safety crew at Lawrenceburg Speedway. They might be able to help with the class. They seem to be one of the best crews out there right now.

How about the Doug Wolfgang's "Wolfie Valve"?

Double over the fuel line and tie it with a plastic wire tie. As you pull the tie tight it causes the hose to pinch shut as long as the tie is close to the bend.

You have me intrigued. I googled it and all I found was one for sale thru Speedway but a terrible product description. How does it work?

I have made contact with the Lawrenceburg Crew also was put into touch with the safety crew at IRP and IMS. Some things are in the works. Still looking for a car that isnt raceable that has junk parts on it for training. The car will never hit the track for any reason other than traning but most likely be done in pit area. With it being July it may be hard to get one in before end of the season but ones i have talked to says need to get all tracks on board this winter and train and share knowledge that each of us have with each other. Never know when we may have to work with each other and its nice to know how things are done before we need them. Thanks to ones that have replied, do have them looking into possibly sponsoring pliers for fuel lines if the tank should seperate from the car. If anyone has anything please send a message. it will be beneficial to everyone and will make sure you get credit for any dontions that are given. thanks again and everyone have a safe rest of the season

Still working on a car. I will find one.
