Our guys on the West coast never cease to amaze me with the incredible cool car stuff they manage to send our way. Aaron Von Minden, from Savage Speed Garage has taken things to a new level this time. The Von Fonda is on vacation in New Zealand at the moment and has somehow found a stash of vintage sprint cars and managed to get some seat time. I’m disappointed he didn’t take the Stars & Stripes lid with him for the photo op!

Aaron has promised tons more photos when he gets back to Cali.

More sideways goodness after the break.

What in the heck are the World of Outlaws? In an automotive context, one might envision something with big horsepower, crazy drivers and a general lack of what some may think of as common sense. If this is what you were thinking, you’re not far off. The World of Outlaws is an oval track series whose competitors drive open wheel cars with big wings and roughly 700hp. Oh, and by the way, they run on a dirt track.

I’ve seen this automotive specatcle twice in my life, but both times the races took place south of the border in Ransomeville, NY, and both races were over a decade ago. Tonight this group of power crazy drivers square off at Oshweken Speedway in Brantford, Ontario. While Brantford is not exactly high on my list of ‘must visit’ places, you can bet I’ll be there. With any luck, I’ll be able to hear tomorrow and I won’t be covered in mud. For more info on the World of Outlaws, visit http://www.worldofoutlaws.com/sprint/
