We have those around here too. I really like the non wing sprint cars the best. They are few and far between down here.
Sprint cars may be the most rudimentary race cars on the planet. Their power to weight ratio (in the most powerful series) is greater than F1.

I have a vague recollection of loving the midgets at a dirt track somewhere
west of Phoenix back around 1989-90. No clue where it was or what the
place was called. Good times though. That I remember.

This dirt track was the first time I ever saw sprint cars. I was 9 or 10.
This was my local hero in my favorite sprint car growing up. His name was Dave Scarborough.
