One of the times we were in Alaska we saw 360 winged sprints run at Mitchell Speedway in the Anchorage area and Capital Speedway in Willow, Alaska. Wasn't really anything to write home about but it was neat to see sprint car racing in the Last Frontier none the less.

I remember that track, we ran tqs at Florence several times, we first ran a temporary track in the same area, just off turn 2, on the back stretch, those scamps told us they built that just for us! Big rooster tails getting back up to the pit area.
