Don’t Blink, You’ll Miss Em I
t may be hard to imagine, but it’s true. A Winged Sprint Car circling Five Flags Speedway at over 125 MPH. That’s an average speed my friend; not just on the straight away. You’ll see it tonight when the “Ground Pounding Fire Breathers” of the Tampa Bay Area Racing Association (TBARA) Sprints return to one of the fastest ½ mile tracks in the nation. This will make up for the rain out on August 27th. Look for a few things to happen that should make for a great night of racing. You can count on a good field of Sprints and some breath taking speeds. and two champions will be crowned for 2010. he TBARA drivers are grateful we rescheduled their race because they love the track, but most of all they brag about you the fans. They are not used to racing in front of such a large and cheerful fan base and they all agree that our fans really make them feel welcome. A special “THANK YOU” to NAPA, HI TACH, and GO-15 for their sponsorship for the Sprints.

You can pretty much put the crowns on Steve Buttrick and Mike Goraum, but racing for a runner up spot will get exciting. ongrats to D.J.
