I was a lifelong NASCAR guy but I've been getting more into midgets (heh, there's a joke in there somewhere) and sprint cars lately. Not going to lie, I'm never going to forget watching the TBARA asphalt sprints run at the then-freshly-repaved New Smyrna Speedway, and the sheer speed and chaos quite literally broke my fucking brain. It was like watching a VCR race on fast forward. I thought someone might have spiked my food with cocaine or something.
Of course, the late, great Dave Steele won that race, so I'm glad to have witnessed it. Such a shame that he passed away. That crash looked so survivable too.
