1971 SPRINTER CAR RACER Ezra Brooks Heritage Decanter Bottle  With Box Empty

SPRINT CAR RACER

The pace car cornered the last curve before the straightaway, and you could feel thetension at lndy. A thunderous rev. A downshift. Anxiety was building. Racing. You could see it. Right through the masks and goggles that hid the faces of fierce competitors who never knew which curve might spell danger. Any second and thepace car would veer into the pits, and the ordeal would begin. Man against machine.Man against man.

What thoughts must go through a driver's head in those final seconds. Does he think of where he'lfinish when the race is over? The winner's circle-and glory? Or does he think back to where it all started? To the oil-slicked dirt track where he first learned the racing ropes.Where excitement and thrills rode every turn. To sprint car racing.

THE BIRTH OF THE SMALL RACE TRACK

(OR, A SHORT CIRCUIT)

Sprint car racing is thought of by many to be the toughest, most competitive form ofatio racing. Born in the early 1920s, sprint cars were originally designed to supplement the larger, more powerful, championship class machinery that competeattracks such as indianapolis. The name sprint car stems from the fact that they racemainly on shorter tracks, half-miles, for a distance of 30 to 50 laps. In this way, races are won by superior maneuverability and handling, rather than sheer straightaway

speed. The sprint driver sits in a chair-fike position with his head ir tie breeze and hisarms waving laboriously over a huge steering wheet This position has alwaysdelighted the race fans because they actually get to see a man working his machinerather than a closed-in blur with nothing vísible but a helmet.

Many of today's great Formula 1 and Grand Prix drivers gained their early experience on the sprint car circuit. With 18 cars on the track at one time, separated only by precious inches at speeds of over 100 m.p.h., experience had to be gained quickly, or there might never be another chance to gain more.

The car depicted in this decanter is actually sponsored by the Ezra Brooks Distillery.The original car was built by famed Indianapolis "500" car builder and designer,Grant King. Although King is a successful builder of the more headlined Indy cars, hefeels, as does Ezra Brooks, that sprint car racing has earned a permanent place in the heat of American Auto racers and fans.
