I'm searching for the best written description of a modern Sprint Car. I need an exciting paragraph that explains why sprint cars are some of the most exciting and capable racing vehicles on the planet. I've searched the net but have yet to find that perfect explanation! Please post your best description here, or copy and paste your favorite paragraph. This information will accompany a marketing proposal and will hopefully create interest and excitement! Thanks for your help!

A Sprint Car is a 1375 pound, alcohol drinking, nasty tempered, 900 horsepower rocket ship, capable of bringing great joy or great heartache at the touch of a throttle.

Sprint Cars are driven by young men in a hurry and old men with no place to go.

Be sure to put "stain in your shorts fun" in your proposal somewhere. That should help you land "the big one".

Sprint car?? hmm where to start, watching one in Qualifying attempt is priceless , just as you take your eyes off one, the other is soon to make his largest attempt at "faster than you", still shots of one "winged down" is simply awsome! full throttle locked down is impressive!, watching a full field of sprints on a tight bullring will get your blood pumping , One driver is fast with effortless steering, the other is fast just trying to harness the illness of the car,Disaster waiting to claim a victim ,Glory just around the corner,The turbulance caused by the wings "even a calm night can feel like a storm just came in" , Methenol youll never forget the smell! ,Loud! "sometimes you take out the earplugs just to make sure you dont miss anything" Fans are like no others, we know what we like! drivers are like no others ("cowboys of the sport"wink sissies will stay home ! hope that helps a lil?

Sprint cars are the fastest cars on dirt! Their job is to go fast on the straightaways and turn left on dirt ovals of various sizes. They want to be as light as possible so they don't need silly things like starters, batteries and side/ rear view mirrors. wink


Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the 
West series schedule! 

Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting 
racecars on dirt!

An 800 horsepower bottle rocket with a steering wheel that requires the tenacity and reflexes of a heavyweight fighter. The lineage goes all the way back to where the Formula One cars started early in the 20th century and this is the grassroots American answer to the idea of the ultimate racing car.

I struggled briefly to accurately capture the definition for a co-worker when my boss said something kinda funny, kinda true... "a go-kart on steroids"

I do not know who said it first but "Fighter Jets in a Living Room" is a pretty good description.

A sprint car: Running flat out at 100, 110 then 120 mph, the car suddenly pitches sideways so violently that the rear end actually passes the front. The chassis leans hard to the right, yanking the left-front wheel into the air and dangling it there helplessly, pointlessly. In what seems like a desperate attempt to correct the wild, tail first slide, the front wheels steer to the right at an impossible angle. But just when this speeding mass seems hopelessly out of control, the deafening roar of 800+ angry horsepower bellows into the night air, and the car lunges forward with enough force to lift the entire front end a couple feet off the ground. Still locked in a spectacular broad slide, the car then accelerates into the distance at a breathtaking rate, peppering everything in its wake like the bead blaster from hell as huge rear tires spray a one hundred mph barrage of dirt that chips paint, dents sheet metal, and shatters fiberglass.
