The
Auto Value Super Sprints (AVSS) bring down force
pavement racing to racetracks all around the
country. The AVSS series features 410 cubic inch
powered winged sprint cars that race on paved
racetracks from 1/4 mile to 5/8 mile in length.
The cars race on Hoosier Tires and reach top
speeds well over 140 mph.
Auto Value has been a supporter of the group
since it’s formation in the fall of 1996. The
series then separated into dirt and pavement
groups in 1998, which allowed the drivers to
choose racing on either surface. The series has
experienced tremendous growth over the past
seasons. Car counts have also increased with
full fields at every event.
The
typical Auto Value Super Sprints event starts
with practice sessions. This is followed by
qualifications where the cars go out one at a
time for two laps against the clock. The best of
those two laps is taken as that driver’s
official time. Then the drivers participate in
heat races. The top finishers in these heat
races transfer on to the “A” Main event. The
remainder of the drivers get one more shot at
the feature event through the “B” Feature event.
The top finishers in that event also move on to
the feature event, while the remainder of the
drivers are finished for the evening.
Before
the feature all of the cars are lined up on the
front straightaway. All of the drivers are
introduced one at a time, followed by a group
Frisbee toss, which has become a trademark of
the series. The drivers are then pushed off for
the “A” Main event. Just before the start though
the drivers line up for the 3-abreast salute to
the fans. Fans are encouraged to stand and wave
to send off the drivers before the “A” Main
event.
The “A” Main is the final, longest, and most
important event of the night. At the end of the
event the winner is stopped on the front stretch
for photos and the accolades that come with
winning an Auto Value Super Sprints event. After
the feature, fans are invited down to the pit
area to meet the stars of the Auto Value Super
Sprints and get a closer look at these lightning
fast pavement machines.
We
hope you can attend one of our events this
season. If you are interested in more
information about the series check our the other
sections of our website, or get in touch with
someone on our contact page.
