It was a very common low-buck racer when I was involved ('67 - '72), and
the
consensus was that you gritted your teeth and opened your eyes a little
wider in a Bugeye when you got up around 100...much like racing a Porsche
Speedster.

I raced from '78 to '88, but never a Sprite so I can't say I have any
experience in one at 100MPH. I do have plenty of experience with them
sideways at lower speeds and never found them particularly demanding.

What class and region did you race in? I did ITB and GTA in the San
Francisco region. Along with karts and autocross too. I was busy there for
a couple of years...
