Convincing wife to let me switch from modifieds to sprints (safety)
Ok I grew up around sprints , they are not popular in my area , and I cannot afford to travel , so I built a modified , ran it once in a year not as fun as a sprint , I found out the other day a racesaver 305 series is forming 2 hrs from me so I decided to put the mod up for sale or trade , my wife is not too sure yet about me making the switch , safety wise (thank you real tv) I tell her that I have rarely seen ppl get hurt , except on the bigger tracks (knoxville ,eldora , williams grove etc.) And that is very rare as well and I pointed out the fact that most of those are in 410 cars which make 900 hp compared to a 305 that makes about 425 hp which is about 60% less , and stil over 200hp less than a 360 , I have searched the net looking for something that focuses on sprint safety record but I cant find much except a one dirt praiseing safety even though the writer feels sprints are the most dangerous race cars in motorsports , I ran 600 mini sprints which she had no problem with I explained that a full size sprint was safer mainly due to its larger size , she kinda bought it , I also explained to her that my crotch rocket on the interstate at 80 was wwwwaaaayyyy more dangerous than any sprint car , I know she would do it even if she didnt like it , but I dont want it coming back to haunt me , so if someone could help me with some hard info good or bad I can show her I would appriciate it thanks
