Some of the Americans from the world of outlaws series travel to Western Springs in Auckland, New Zealand every year to compete with the best that New Zealand has to offer, Unfortunately the New Zealanders cant keep up with the Americans which proves that the world of outlaws series in America is the number dirt track series in the world. You can see the full results of the meeting in December 2007 at springsspeedway.comSprint cars have a very high power-to-weight ratio, making speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) possible on some tracks. These speeds make racing sprint cars extremely dangerous. 800 horsepower is common for these at a weight of around 1400 pounds and fueled by Methanol. Wheelbase ranges from 84 inches min, 90 inches max, and overall width is 78 inches maximum with an overall length of 14 feet maximum.
A typical sprint car costs between US$50,000 and US$60,000 and most teams have a separate car for pavement and dirt tracks.
The safety record of sprint car racing in recent years has been greatly improved by the use of roll cages to protect the drivers. Wings provide down force, increasing traction. Wings also provide an amount of protection in case of an accident.
