TeamWWF driver Trey Burke raced in the RISKON 360! Open Wheel Showdown this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a picture-perfect day to enjoy winged sprint cars racing.
The RISKON 360! Open Wheel Showdown was the main event at the Bullring, Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s 3/8-mile paved oval track just off Las Vegas Blvd., about fifteen miles north of the Strip. The cars at this race are crazy cool, or more like super hot! The winged sprint cars, midgets, and supermodifieds are bold and loud, sporting around eight hundred horsepower with modest exhaust and weighing about half of what a small car weighs. You can only imagine how powerfully loud six or eight of these beasts are when furiously racing the short track. The only thing louder is the afterburners from the low-flying jets taking off and landing at Nellis Air Force Base about a mile east of us and flying low directly overhead.
