If at all interested in sprint car racing like I am, you have to bookmark this site I just found today.
http://sprintcarratings.com/Default.aspx
This guy must be a stats junkie, because this site's info goes on for-EV-er. It's like the pages they used to have in the daily papers showing every conceivable baseball statistic, except this is for all the sprint car divisions. Easy to search by driver, track, series, everything.
Site is not pretty, but highly functional.

Back when I was growing up, we spent many Saturday nights at Fresno's Kearney Bowl watching the "hardtops" race.
One of these vintage cars is shown here, alongside a modern 410 sprint car.
There are plenty of similarities to these old and new cars. But the design of aerodynamics (wings), 900HP engine packages and various suspension components has seen many improvements over the decades.
Still, go fast, turn left works same as always.
