In all honestly we have to say something positive about the young racers driving sprint cars.

One of the young Kinsers seems to have done well. Was it Steve's son?
Thought he did well. Thought he got into sprint cars early.

2) Sammy's Kid seems to have done well or is doin' well.

3) Chad Boat's sons seems to be doin' fine in a sprint car and midget.

There are many others also. Maybe where the kids have not faired well are
rich kids that really didn't come from a midget or sprint car family. They
learned the hard way. If they had no money they would have not learned at
all!:help: And in some cases those kids have died or got hurt, not necessarily
sprint car related.


And it really doesn't matter, but yes sprint cars are dangerous. At Ventura
Ca we have a old timers sprint car leaque. It's a small track with 600 hp
sprint cars driven by men..some in their 70's and many in their 60's.

I have seen three people get seriously injured. If you play the game long
enough your goin' to get hurt. It's not a game and I also think there are
a lot of old people who want to get into a sprint car and really don't know
how dangerous it is. They think they can do it or want to and get hurtly
really bad. I really feel sorry for these people. Somehow they just didn't
realize how dangerous the sprint car is and drive one and get hooked and
get seriously hurt.

Sincerely,

Larry Otani and God Bless!
