Boggles my mind how the tie rods for the steering don't just shear considering all the bumps and random yanking that goes on. I was waiting for his left front tire to just fly off. Brutal.

6:05 Blast Off.

the 15 dislikes in this vid are people that never been to a sprint car race.

[@silentshredr]

Craziest form of racing, my 2 cents

[@pinslayer4579]

I'm amazed how quick the steering is .........I raced limited late models on asphalt always wanted to try a sprint car on dirt looks like a blast !!!!!

[@Tipzyyy]

same here

[@rickfreeman3999]

Dirt cars run with 2 to 1 steering quickeners on the steering wheel shaft is how it works!!

[@samuelhinkle9370]

I couldn't believe the amount of vibration in the front left tire . Well I know what rides shotgun now !

[@bowsertownes]

I love how these cars are the only cars in the world that lean left. The feeling of lateral g force like that is never forgotten

[@leetv6223]

NASCAR cars lean left

[@michaelgerlach2736]

drifting leans left

[@ItzNano901]

Dirt modifieds, Late models, Mini sprints, Mod lights. Theres alot of cars that have lean but that's due for the high banking of the corners.

[@bowsertownes]

@@ItzNano901 the track banking has nothing to do with the left leaning. I drove and owned a winged sprint. These cars tie down the left rear so hard you'll have tires rub on the arm guard fender. Also most chassis have the left frame rail one inch higher than the right so you bottom out

[@holidayiv4856]

That car must feel so good to strap into, talk about the dress code great vid catch ya at Charlotte

[@bf2945ify]

That was awesome my neck is hurting just from watching this video.

[@cosmichoss]

Ran one at the 1/2 mile sharon speedway..hotlaps.. Troy cochran car.. Was an adventure as life is.. Like 150 mph sideways.. P.s. all 4 tires take a beating.. Keep the rubber down..

[@Tom-mk7iq]

Damn that track has a sweet layout

[@deborahmann961]

Dammnnnñ,in such a short amount of time did you not put the pedal to the metal and make history I think you broke the world record

[@deborahmann961]

With all due respect you're nothing compared to Randy Hannigan on board

[@jimheckert5383]

Separating the Men from the boys. Great video. Thanks 🇺🇸🍀🇺🇸

[@landonwurst6677]

Hi, I’m 14 and wanted to know how to get involved in driving cars like the 410 or 360 sprints

[@logandupor9119]

Landon Wurst buy a chassis but I wouldn’t recommend starting with sprint cars start off with like a sport mod, 410 sprints haul ass they go around 120-130 coming into the corners takes a lot of balls

[@what4965]

i’m 13 and race a 600 open micro, those are good to learn in first

[@pro-seriesfabrication3810]

As noted, Micro Sprints are where you can start

[@danieldekeyser6477]

@@logandupor9119 if you wanna get good enough to start in a sprint start in a outlaw cart like I still do. As I do race a non wing sprintcar and a go cart

[@danieldekeyser6477]

You don't wanna get into a sprintcar with no experience from racing

[@dougmcmullen4634]

They could have run the water truck through the pit roads ffs.

[@Dawgs241]

Gosh, that front left has it rough!!!

[@nhragold1922]

So awesome!!!

[@maverick4103]

Elbows up!!! Getting it

[@kenhowell07]

So floor it and try to manage the traction ?

[@bigd33103]

Ken Howell you cannot clearly hear it but when your about to enter the corner on some tracks you will let off just a tad to transfer weight the the right side of the car to obtain traction , however this track seemed like it had a large enough cushion and or moisture in the track to allow everyone to almost run it full wide all the way around

[@briannelson6049]

Why does he keep bobbing his head before they go green? Looks like he has a nervous tick or something...

[@the_dark_one1127]

I don't think his neck brace was connected to his helmet

[@MidgetRacer8192]

if it's anything like my HANS, the sliding tether can kinda drag now & then like it's bound up on something, doing that pulls it free.

[@jamesluhrsen829]

Tightening his belts.

[@landenlunsford2796]

Could also be because he was nervous because look how fast hes going i got a buddy that has been driving for years and still gets a little nervous i mean you never know whats gonna happen theres always a chance of death even if your as seasoned as these guys

[@StreetyRacer61]

Keith Nelson read the comments to find this out for myself? I wear a hans and sometimes I’ll lean my head forward to get it sitting comfortable on my shoulders but he seemed to keep doing it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@rodneyrtennis1279]

This guys definitely got a nervous twitch. He keeps bowing his head back and forth. At first I thought he was adjusting his neck restraint, but that’s definitely not the case.

[@giffofishing]

Carson is the nicest guy ever

[@dusk_clan384]

5 comet 😂

[@ljhnh4214]

What’s the plastic flap on the helmet for

[@alexmockalex]

it's a tear-off. they go the whole way across the visor. the tab sticks up so the driver can grab it and pull the whole thing off when he gets mud/clay on his visor while racing behind other cars. there are plenty stacked on there.

[@northerntransplant6891]

That’s insane.

You know i always wondered what are the earbuds for?

[@JakeSeiner]

Transmitters so the track official can talk to the drivers during the race.

[@jacobthornton9055]

Its called a raceciver its a one way comunication device that alowys the officials in the tower to talk to the drivers to let them know things like when and where a caution is and where they need to be line up wise

[@SublimeEnt1ty]

always wanted to race a sprint idk about it now shit my self just watching this

[@jimlynch2190]

Why’s he keep ducking his head???

[@maxium4x4]

Cinching his belts, you want to be tight in the car. As you move your body compresses to a point.

[@KCBarr1]

@@maxium4x4 Thanks. I was also wondering why he was doing that.

[@maxium4x4]

@@KCBarr1 you are Welcome. I see he is messing with his HANS device, I never have worn one, so it may be a juggle between him feeling comfortable in the belts and the HANS. You would be amazed at how loose your belts will get during a race, under caution you will cinch down.

[@asht9ntrive28e8]

@@maxium4x4 I drive a little 4 cylinder car and I wear a Hans device. Its like you said very restricting, the back of your helmet sits in a pocket which keeps your head locked, it's a hastle to get in and out with but it helps a ton

[@adrianrivera7723]

how powerful are those things?

[@caeylinskye8166]

adrian rivera they can get up to 900 horse in a 410 wing. They don’t weigh anything though so it’s a lot of power in a small lightweight car.

[@Hilgenbergracing229]

Its the most horsepower to weight ratio of any racecar. Depending on track length they can hit speeds of almost 190 mph before they throw the thing sideways and drift it around the corner. These guys need all that horsepower to carry their brass balls

[@ryan14r95]

They got nowhere near 190 I just watched them at devils bowl

[@caeylinskye8166]

My boyfriend races a 305 non- wing sprint with 5.3 LS and his car dyno’d at about 420 horsepower in a car that weighs 1586 pounds with him in it. Highest average speed, meaning the average speed carried all the way around the track is around 80 MPH. It depends on the track size and conditions and what type of car to know how powerful they are and how fast they can go.

[@MosinMan76254]

@@Hilgenbergracing229 They do see those speeds but only on large tracks like Eldora. Now I'm not dissing you but please, sprint cars do NOT drift, It's called the power slide. I've seen videos where pro drifters got in a winged sprinter and could not keep it matted through the corner.
