Vintage Spint Cars

                This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the vintage show at Lawrenceburg Speedway. For those of you who aren't familiar with my brother and I you will find out our number one influence on all of our builds, designs and LIVES in general comes from racing (particularly open wheel dirt track) 

                Every year Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg Indiana host a vintage night which gives vintage race car owners and drivers the chance to bring their cars out and drive them at FULL SPEED around the track in between the heat races at an actual USAC sprint car race. There are very few tracks around the country that will let vintage race cars make actual HARD laps due to insurance and liability issues, but each year Lawrenceburg Speedway persistently puts on a better and better show

                Events like this that keep the history alive are extremely important to the sprint car community. Just like the history of anything the history of dirt track racing provides a window to the past that gives future generations a look at the evolution of racing. 

                Seeing vintage race cars in a museum is one thing but actually seeing these cars FLYING around a race track at 100+ MPH will give anybody a memory they will not forget. So BRAVO to Lawrenceburg Speedway and the few other race tracks around the country that throw caution to the wind and allow these vintage race cars to make full speed laps. These type of events will always have a significant importance in sprint car racing.
