Highlights from practice & the 56th Hoosier 100 at the Indiana State Fairgrounds

Wrong plumballa...a Silvercrown is heavier, with a much larger fuel tank, no pit stops needed for 100 lap races...both run a v8 engine...A regular Sprint car usually runs a 410 cubic inch aluminum engine creating about 800-900hp. There are several divisions though, 305 ci, 358 ci...there are a few 6 cylinder sprint cars from back in the day, but nothing crazy. A midget (about 3/4 the size of a sprint car) runs a 400-500 horse 4 cylinder engine, and weighs about 800-900 pounds.

to minonkracer a sprint car irs a few hundered pounds lighter than a silver crown and only has a 4cyl engine in which a silver crown has bigger wheelbas a beefier all around car with either a 6cyl or 8 cyl enigine depending on the series

Can someone please tell me what the difference between a silver crown and a sprint car is?

Cool shots. You get a better sense of the speed of the cars from this angle than you get from watching on TV.
