I'm kinda backwards anyway.
When you strap yourself into a 1350 lb. car with 750 HP, racin side by side with 25 other cars, turn left and sideways at 100 + mph,...ya,..... that's nuts !
Nothing,...... is like racing a sprint on dirt. We race with the outlaws twice per year, and unless you have $60,000 + in you motor and $5,000 of titanium in the chassis, it's a loosing battle but, it's exciting anyway.
The "Knoxville Nationals" is the best of the best. 140-150 mph. And it's not IF you crash, it's,.....WHEN you crash, consider the car a loss. We did two years ago when a driver came down on us, hitting the right rear, got sideways, flipped & rolled the car 11 times, loosing the tail tank THROUGH....the catch fence, and into the stands. No one was hurt but, the only part salvageable was the seat. His left front came into our car, breaking the right side downtube, hitting the alum. 410 engine, and it actually tore off the head, and it tumbled down the track. Total loss,... I won't say.
(I'll see if I can get some photo's)
Happy we have GREAT sponsors !
