Sprint Cars
While the 1980's may be a little too
recent to be considered "Vintage Racers" by some, we thought it
would still be enjoyable by many to look back into the recent past. Sprint
Car racing in Central Pennsylvania between the mid 1980's through the
early 1990's was second to none anywhere in the country. The level of
talented drivers and teams in the area was outstanding. The
"local" teams that competed here on a weekly basis were not the
least bit intimidated when the World of Outlaws rolled into town. They
outran the Outlaws so many times that they became to be known as the PA
Posse. To this day, they still give the WoO all they can handle.
In the photos that follow you'll find the legends from the recent past, the legends of the day, the legends of the future, and a few legends in their own minds (just kidding). There are some photos of some very young drivers who are enjoying great success today, as well as some drivers that are rumored to be as old or older than the dirt they're racing on (again... just kidding). If you were lucky enough to see some of the racing in this area during this time period, we're sure you'll react much as we did going through these pictures and find yourself saying quite often, "Oh yeah. I remember him!"
Enjoy! - TVR
