Back when I was growing up, we spent many Saturday nights at Fresno's Kearney Bowl watching the "hardtops" race.
One of these vintage cars is shown here, alongside a modern 410 sprint car.
There are plenty of similarities to these old and new cars. The aerodynamics (wings), 900HP engine packages, tires and various suspension components of 410 sprint cars have all seen many improvements over the decades.
Still, go fast, turn left works same as always.
