About the Lightning Sprint Car

Featuring distinctive aerodynamic “wings” to provide down force, weighing just 730 pounds, and powered by extremely reliable 130 horsepower 750 c.c. motorcycle engines, Lightning Sprints provide fast and exciting wheel-to-wheel racing action at speeds rivaling the fastest full-bodied stock cars.

Cybulski Flips Calendar,

(Winnipeg, MB) Following a nine-year run, Greg Cybulski's popular dirt track racing column "Dirt from the Stands" is coming to an end.

“Like any great ride, nothing lasts forever and I feel that now is the right time to close this chapter of my life in racing”, said Cybulski, a dedicated dirt track racing fan, promoter, and writer.

“I've decided to concentrate my energies on the newest chapter of my life in racing as the Director of Media Relations for the Northern Lightning Sprint Association.”

The Prairie Dirt reporter will continue to post comments and regional racing news on his blog. In a world where the local dirt track scene often suffers from inadequate media coverage, Cybulski’s commitment to continue blogging brings great news to the racing community.

“I am also looking into other aspects of the local dirt track racing scene right now. My writing and promotional experiences over the past 6 years with the Sprint Cars in western Canada has been an amazing journey and I will always be there to support it, however, this year appears to be a good time to step back and concentrate on other matters that are important to me,” commented Cybulski.

"I would like to thank Sprints&Midgets webmaster Don McAuley for supporting me in starting my column. To the webmasters who posted my writings over the years and the fans who took the time to read "Dirt from the Stands", I thank you all."

"I would also like to thank my editors of the past nine years, especially Beth Steenhoek, Darren Pallen and Vicki James, who proof-read and offered advice for my columns before I released them. Their input made something good even better."

Super Stock driver Scott Brown and his son Steven have joined the NLSA.  Scott purchased Amber Balcaen’s #10 car and will pilot the car until son Steven turns 14 years of age in August.  Scott has raced for 12 years mostly in the Super Stock class, winning over 60 features including back-to-back Balcaen Memorial Super Stock Specials. The current owner of SMD Motorsports looks forward to racing with the NLSA in the spring of 2010.
