USAC sprints at BRP!! Go see 'em!

[Boneman]

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.

Tell us a little about the mods. 4cyl?

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.

Modified Lite racing at RPM Speedway:

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!

I didn't feel ripped off. Was there both Thursday and Saturday nights and Saturdays was was as memorable a race as I have ever seen.

Someone needs to start a non wing deal with cheap 602's (highly regulated), sorta like a street stock motor. No wing, hard right rear.

It was kinda cool to watch most of them smoking their right rear tires near the end of the race. It cost a few of them a victory!
