Vith ths approach of summer, racfcj cars come out of
the gaasa and onto the. trailer for another season of
compctiticx
For ths spectator, here's a sampler to help sort out the
Averse types cf raotorspcrt, ia the Lincoln area and
elsewhere.
?iizt csrs: As the cars of the Nebraska State Fair,
theses beasts fern many fans image of what a racks car ,
should be-trprfeht seat, front ecne, awesome noise and
roui-esd-turnhle.
Their rcmse in the Lincoln area is Eagle Raceway, a
one-third mile dirt oval in Eagle, about 20 minutes east
onll.vy.34.
The wd, dusty, broaiHiding, buxpkj action makes
many think sprint-car rating is the most exciting of all
ovaltrack competition. I think they may be riht Ease's
opener is May 2.
Slock can: It happens at Midwest Speedway, 4609
N. 27 St, a dirt ovaL The Super Stock and Hobby Stock
cars run in tight packs, providing tense battling or plod
ding boredom, depending on the competitors caliber.
The cars have token mufflers so you won't go deaf, and
the location and time (Sundays at 2 pjn.) are convenient.
It's definitely worth a look.
Dr2ffi3: It's the 1960s retro-trip, man, turning the
quarter with a low E.T. down the asphalt aisle, eat em up,
shut 'em down, ooooh! Drag racing is a funny sport, with
its one-dimensional demand of maximum acceleration
over 1,470 feet. Its appeal is that it's easy to understand
and identify with-who hasn't put his foot down hard at
the stoplight just to edge ahead of .the guy in the next
lane?
Big-time drag shows are rare in this area, but only a
crass elitist would shun the grassroots of the sport.
Kearney Dragway, with events almost every Sunday, is
the nearest connection for Lincoln drag addicts. If you
think it looks easy from the stands, you can even
plunk down the entry fee for a "stock" class and find out.
If you'n in Kearney to soak up history at Fort
Kearney or the Stuhr Museum, put a Beach Boys tape in
the player and relive a vanished era.
Moiocross: A motrrcycle is a curious artifact-fauvism
applied to transportation, a minimal vehicle. Taking these
motorized bare necessities out and shoving them full
bore across the roughest terrain available is just crazy
enough to attract hard-core enthusiasts, and that is what
mctocrcss fans are. ,
The Lincohi Motocross Club sponsors these necks-for-sile
races at a course near VZber, the next belts May
9. These wishisj to watch can ask at Mctctech Cultaco
Ossa, 6232 Flattest
YouH have to travel, ia persca or by television, to see
major league motcrsperts. Here are some capsale-descriptions:
:
NASCAR: High-tuck stock car racing, a popular
TV item and Southern fertility rite. Speeds and parses
high; excitement level abct like good basehaH-usuaSy
tranquil, occasionally thriHir.3.
rreCT: Ferraris, Porsches and such roar
along road courses for hours on end. Best known event,
the 24 Hours of Le Mans, is to r ranee wnat inoianapons
500 is to the United States; it's on June 13.
Formula I: A series appealing to those.enamored of jet
set glamor and technical hypersophisticatiort. Most
famous is the Grand Prix of Monaco, May 30; it may be
televised by the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Indianapclis SCO: "The world's richest auto race,
United States Auto Club May 30 extravaganza, a
subculture in itself-now can I praise it more?
