Blue Angels at Beach; Winged Sprints at 5 Flags
ver twenty (20) Sprints are et’s talk about “Fast Machines LWinged with Wings”. Since this is the Oexpected tonight. Look for Weekend in Pensacola, I several of them to be turning mid think it’s fitting that we talk about the Winged Warriors, which are packed with breath taking excitement. First, the Blue Angels will take to the air for their July show in front of their home crowd, based right here at NAS Pensacola. The Blues always take a little extra pride when performing at Pensacola Beach or at NAS showing their precision flying skills . ow let’s move to another type N of Winged Machines with dare devil pilots. I’m speaking of the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA) Winged Sprint Cars. These lightning fast cars are the featured event this evening at one of the world’s fastest ½ mile banked paved ovals. Flags Speedway –America’s FandiveFavorite Home Track-has this one only date for the TBARA boys for 2011.
14 second laps at well over 120 mph. Anyone who argues that you cannot flat-foot a race car around Five Flags needs to be present when qualifying takes place, because these boys will prove you wrong!! lso on the card will be the always A exciting Sportsman and Bombers. I think you fans will agree that
there has not been a single week this year that the Sportsman races have been dull. The competition in this class is as good as you will find anywhere in the U.S. When the Super Late Model drivers stop what they are doing and climb atop their trailers to watch this class, then tell you that is some of the best racing they’ve seen at any track they visit, you know you are doing something right for the crowd. Now don’t leave early because I can guarantee you the Bombers will fill the air with some down home good racing as well. atch our Post Race results W and discussions on BLAB-TV Monday night at 8:00 pm. Until next time; be safe and enjoy the races.
