Heck, That's not really a bullring. They still have the bodies and fenders on!!!
The local track, Ventura Raceway, is 3/8th's mile up next to the fence and a little over a 1/4 at the bottom of the inside lane. We run the IMCA modifieds (similar to those pictured) and if you still have the body on it at the end of the race that means you broke on the parade lap.
The leader generally catches the tail of the field mid way through the second lap and then bumps and bangs his way through from then on.
I don't know how the guys afford it. Generally, new body and graphics every race or, at most, every 3 races.
Those WOO modifieds are cool.

Ventura sounds like Daytona compared to this place. Belle-Clair is 1/5th mile. Brandon Sheppard holds the track record 11.195 sec.
We've run many laps at this place & I would build 3 sets of door & quarter skins to start the season.

That's pretty funny. Bullring was the name of the quadrangle we had to march around for hours and hours working off demerits in military school. We had to have a 30 pound field pack, an M-1, and boots on- one hour close order drill for every demerit, every week. At the end of a 5 hour bullring, you took off that pack and felt like you were floating! For extra fun, it was a 300 day school year, so you did it in 100 degrees and less than 15 degrees, rain or shine, snow or ice, no matter what. Tough kids. Dozens of West Pointers, Annapolis grads, even some Merchant Marine Academy grads, and hundreds and hundreds of career military in the 140 years the school was there.
