Auto racing isn’t just a sport. To some, it’s a way of life. For others. behind-the- wheel fantasies are a.s close as they’ll come to feeling the adrenal rush of G-forces that merge man with machine — unless they’re one of the more than 12.4 million auto racing spectators lured by the sweet scent of burning rub- ber and melodious har- monies of revving engines. “Most people can name one or two major races, like the Indy 500, or notice the difference between top fuel dragster and a stock car,” said Edmond Richardson, 1992 Super Comp Winston World Champion. “But as the popularity of racing expands, more people are becoming educated fans, or learning how to get behind the wheel themselves.” To learn more about racing or to become a racer, Richardson suggests that you attend or enter a local race. Local drag races, called bracket races, are very acces- sible and allow beginners to sample racing without investing a lot of money first. These races, sometimes called “Run What You Brung” - races, let newcom- ers race their street cars to get the feel of being on a track in heated competition. After that, Richardson sug- gests that you enroll in a local, weekend racing Riverview chevrolet oldsmobile Itd.

At these schools, stu- dents drive professional cars and are taught racing tech- niques by the pros But most of all, Richardson advises those who are inter- ested in racing to ask ques- tions. Attend local races and ask racers or racing fans about the events. National Hot Rod Association events, like the Slick SO Nationals in Houston, are some of the only races that allow specta- tors into the pit area to talk with drivers and crew chiefs. The growth of auto racing has been spurred by increas- ing numbers of sponsors willing to bring racing to everyone. Today, sponsors include mainstream Ameri- can companies, from auto- motive products to fast food chains and consumer goods. Houston-based Petrolon, Inc., maker of top-selling Slick 50 Engine Formula, exemplifies a growing company’s excite- ment in sponsoring racers and events. The company invests annually in racing programs which include auto, motorcycle and speed- boat events. “We want to encourage competitive racing at all lev- els,” said Bill Jeter, Petrolon president and CEO. “Our sponsorship of the NHRA Slick 50 Nationals and the Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series gives us the opportu- nity to support two different areas of racing, and reach | Want to get famoas? | 1955 Ford Thunderbird We want photos of your street rod, custom or classic vehicle — whether it's under construction or finished.

Drag racing, for example, reserves its Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock classes for professionals, mostly because these cars can be so expensivé that only the top talent are able to maintain them, Richardson said. Classes like Stock, Super Comp and Super Street are more likely to be seen at a local race. The grassroots level at the circle track includes classes such as Sprint Car, Midget Car and Dwarf Car. These events allow racing sportsmen to sharpen their skills before moving on to professional Indy Car or NASCAR races. The Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series, one example of Petrolon’s commitment to racing, is a series of sprint car races held weekly dur- ing the winter season in Phoenix. These grassroots races showcased lightweight yet powerful cars on a dirt track and were televised nationally to millions of viewers.
