Nerves of steel to race a one mile dirt track with a winged sprint car. Easily 160 mph average today. Nearly 190 on straight aways. Outlaws stopped due to safety concerns
yea after said slammin sammys wing colapsed due to the pressure at the moody mile in syracuse I am told. and Sprints racing on the hoosier mile? I KNEW IT I wasn't crazy though I thought I saw them doing this on tnn or speednetwork in the early 2000's the world of outlaws but no footage on youtube exists of it that I have found, though maybe they really were sprint drivers in dirt champ cars that I am thinking of. I know Steve Kinser was in the race and I recognized several names from the world of outlaws from the era. and there is no wikipedia or internet mention of winged sprints ever racing on the dirt mile from many differant search terms used by me. except for this and I am not sure what they were running back then were they still getting 900 hp on them back then? I was just a little kid in that time period. as for these only doing about 150 there is a blog mention of sammy getting over 160 in recent years in the straights when the outlaws ran at bristol or more its hauling.

I think they ran at the Springfield (IL) mile as well?
That track is huge and insanely fast! Thanks for sharing. Are there any tracks this big on the WoO circuit anymore?
Nothing even close
@woofan11k No, WoO Sprints do not run miles tracks anymore. Too dangerous.
boo hoo they run just as fast now as they did back then and cars are safer now tired of hearing this to dangerous p@!#$ stuuf
