I worked on USAC sprint cars in the 60s and 70s.
There is absolutely zero relationship between real sprint cars up through 1969 and 1970 when all sprint cars were turned into supermodifieds with mandatory roll cages..... This "bolt on brave" eliminated the art of race driving and replaced it with the chickencrap slide job.
Currently, the only restriction to unlimited fearlessness is how long mommy and daddy's check book holds out.
I'm sure some of you here have never even seen a real sprint car.
Check it out!
