I loved the wingless sprint show last night at Bubba Raceway! After all these years, I’ve finally seen this type of racing in person, and I will be back.
Usually in a race, I watch whoever is battling it out, or what the leaders are doing. But last night I found myself just watching them slide all the way down the backstraight and through turn 4. Amazing! I wish I was a younger man in Indiana…I know what I would be doing.
Why don’t Florida tracks run wingless sprints on dirt? I really prefer winged cars on pavement, but wingless on dirt was a thing off beauty.
Also on the program were Modified Lites, a forward looking class of the future. I liked 'em! I expect more emphasis on classes like that, and less on antique Monte Carlos.
USAC sprints are absolutely the best racing there is. The Top Gun series tried running some wingless races a few years ago, but the drivers wouldn’t support it. If I had money, I’d start a wingless series in Florida and pay much better than the winged cars. It might bring in those willing to drive.
Would love to see a wingless dirt series in florida. My daughter’s moving to a big Sprint this year after 3 years in a wingless mini Sprint. She likes the way the car feels without the wing much better than with it.
Those cars are scaled down North East Dirt Modified with a motorcycle engine, driveshaft, and quick change. Light and very fast. Very nice class, very entertaining, not so cheap to buy, but cheap to run.
I took Rex’s advice and caught the final night at Bubba’s. The sprint cars were awesome and the little mods put on a good race too.
Hat’s off on starting the show on time!
I wish there would have been at least one other class running. Show was finished by 9:40 pm. Felt kinda ripped off that I didn’t have to stay til two or three in the morning!
