’ll bet you $100 that we can go through the entire night of racing, including a 100 lap Blizzard race without a single caution (except for the planned Competition Yellow at lap 50) and do it on Friday the 13th. Had I asked you this back on the 12th, you would have taken the bet, right? I’m glad I didn’t ask because that is exactly what happened. Would you ever believe it? Way to go drivers in all classes! et me tell you something else that’s hard to imagine. How about a Winged Sprint car circling Five Flags Speedway at over 125 mph. Well get ready. You’ll see it tonite with the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA) Winged Sprints. Back in March we had three of them qualify under 14 seconds. Imagine the G’s on their bodies through the turns. They all say it is their favorite track to race on, and what they like most are the fans here. They also tell us that our track always has such a great turn out of people and you, the fans, make them feel so special and welcome.
