Always loved sprints. I used to pit for my dad with his modified but I always gave him a bit of crap about why he was driving that boat when sprint cars exist. In turn, he never let me drive that boat lol.
I was standing behind the low pit wall/fence between 3 & 4 for one of those 410 races one night when a guy broke a tie rod(or something) and hit the wall, straight on, smack in front of me at about 80mph. I may have pooped a little but he(in the car) ended up hanging upside down from the top of the fence for about an hour. He retired from driving that day.
I had some great shots of Steve Kinser in the pits in Alma from 2005. He was walking around and being a clown for me and my camera but I can't find them anywhere. So bummed...
Anyway, I always imagined driving one of those would be like a dirt bike on four wheels. Awesomeness.
