Better than NASCAR

[MuddyMo]

and all the other modern auto racing in my opinion. It’s like watching class A baseball on a natural field vs pros on astroturf.

My daddeo called those cart races.
Rich boys toys. No bumping allowed.
Saw my first and last in person at Pocono.
From the pit area and track.
Dad had built a custom ground up Porsche Carrera.
Twin turbo. 1100hp
Full chromolly chassis. Full carbon fiber body.
That thing would do 120 coming out of third gear.
Always wanted to drive that car.
Though after little brother got beyond inebriated.
And took a customer toy out on the street.
Last seen doing endO's into a young forest at over 120mph.
Car was unrecognizable.
If not for that tube chassis. He'd of been shredded.
So drunk he hardly got a scratch.
PS
20 year's later I'm told he still runs that car.
Dad could really build an engine.
Retired from team Porsche outta Florida.
Then did his own.

Loved the streamliners.
