Misc. Sprint/Midget Racing

[kkfan91]

PA speedweek streaming gets annoying. You've got Lincoln and Port Royal on Flo Williams Grove on Dirtvision and the rest are on Sprintcar Unlimited. It's why I try to go to as many as I can. Some year my schedule will work out to make them all.

Jade Avedisian, Mariah Ede and Taylor Reimer second, third and sixth in the feature.

The girls are all right.

I dont think TRD will let jade get away. They lost Deegan to Ford, but Jade seems destined to drive a hoop-tie.

Id like to see Jade next WHEN ITS TIME in ARCA and then trucks. It would be wild if we had Toni, Jade and deegan all in trucks at the same time

Is it normal for when they get into the gas to have the front wheel lift a bit? I saw it happen on jades car a bit

Yeah you have so much power to the rear wheels the car wants to wheelie. Just part of the challenge of control.

thanks!!

Also do they wreck pretty much in every race?

Chassis dynamics … weight transfers from left front to right rear. It’s adjustable via springs (torsion bars) and shocks.

And as explained above, torque and available traction play into it.

but it seems like every sprint wreck they end up on their lid.

They don’t have fenders.

There are often ruts in the track surface. And so on …

Hit or miss I've seen some great ones I think it was silver crown a year or 2 ago at on of the paved tracks but I've also seen them run single file unable to pass. They do that with and without wings too. Little 500 is an event I want to see in person one day, 500 laps on a quarter mile for pavement sprints.

Cannon again? Man that Okie can drive. Curious to see how he does in the Chili bowl. I know he isn't racing a full field but he is tearing up the POWRi series.

 

[aunty dive]

He came through the B … started 14th.

21st to the win in the feature. Going home to the family operation was a good idea.

Nite # 2 not happening …

Mariah Ede ... racecar driver

 

[kkfan91]

More big ride news in PA.

I wonder if he could go to the 39M when it's in PA since they already announced drivers for All Star Outlaw and High Limit shows.

Illegal cylinder head modifications.

That's an amazing finish for the 360 Nationals. Brian Brown steals it on the final lap from Reutzel, who'd led all the way. Rico drove from 24th to 3rd.

Larson SMH

Asphalt midgets at IRP. Look at the radical offset and the big RF spring on the 4 car.

 

[StandOnIt]

Don't know if this is a series race or not, but it is on Flo now and Larson is doing a double header

No series, it's an independent event. But it's been a popular precursor to the Knoxville Nationals since the mid-'90s.
