Sprint Cars --
Sprint cars are
high-powered race cars designed primarily
for the purpose of running on short
or paved
tracks. Sprint car racing
is most popular in the United States, but series also operate in Australia
and New Zealand. Sprint cars have a high power to weight ratio,
making
speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour possible on some tracks. This
speed often also makes racing sprint cars very dangerous. The safety
record of sprint car racing in recent years has been greatly improved by
the use of roll cages and wings to protect the drivers.
