Don't worry Winterkorn, give it a couple months and it'll be rattling and squealing like an 80s chevy.

Exactly how often do you change the steering column's length/angle anyway? It's just not cost-efficient to put much expense and effort into improving that particular process.

The black #73 he was chasing had a fantastic line and I'd bet would have won had it not had what looks like mechanical issues and pulled off towards the end of the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1iTUcgUT1I I think I hit the video stream critical mass on that run. A friend of mind decided to video one of my runs. I couldn't resist throwing it in with my usual triple cam setup. Was my fastest run with a passenger. So I'm sure there was more time out there.

That's just plain nuts, especially when it was proven a couple of lives would have been saved by the defence a wing gives when a Sprint Car hits something very hard on it's roof and wings basically became mandatory here. Those cars are seriously fuckoff fast I really find it hard to believe the USA of all places it's not mandated. Plus they do look a hell of a lot more like they mean business.

One of my biggest automotive fears: being rear-ended out of nowhere. At least in other crash-potential situations, you have a choice of where you are and the possibility of evading the other car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_qzKpuGR2U If I were the FD owner, I would have decked the Mercury driver.

Those cars are seriously fuckoff fast I really find it hard to believe the USA of all places it's not mandated. We race basically anything here. Wingless sprints are kind of popular, but they are usually 305 or 360's. There are some wingless 410's, though. poo poo, the World of Outlaws are back at this place in a few weeks. <--- the intro graphic audio here is the best audio ever posted in this thread, btw.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q07yMkBRD5E More Bonneville fun. 1. Don Vesco's Turbinator -- quiet, uneventful 2. Al Teague's Spirit of '76 -- awesome doppler, sounds like the Devil himself after it passes by and shifts into 4th. Nothing like a nitromethane-fed blown Keith Black Hemi. I love that car. 3. unknown electric streamliner, I think it's the Buckeye Bullet.

The guy who did some work on my C-Prepared car here in the little town of Buckeye, AZ does the Bonneville thing. In 2010 it didn't quite go according to plan. He was going something over 220mph when he parted ways with the earth.
