Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series
 

I went to the Kokomo High Limit race and had a really good time.

I'm thankful I live in Indianapolis. I just hope this does not run off Non Wing racing.

I am all for any event that pays the participants more money. I think the purses for USAC races are embarrassingly low.

and still they come!

Couldn't hit his ass in a non wing car so create your own playground.

Or maybe he's a successful business man that happens to like sprint car racing and racers. Was there any grief given to those who started MSCS? They were a regional series and Maverick seems to be following the blueprint.

Where's your car? I know he's fielding two or three. Several contingencies and now a series..

Quick question. Who on here prefers wingless and are happy Indiana is the wingless capital of the world?

Me

You are right I do not have a car. Contingencies appreciated, the new series in the direct competition with non wings not so much. It will interesting to see the wailing on here when non wing has an even smaller footprint in sprint car racing due to the High Limit and Maverick as they influence car owners, drivers, promoters and fans. I will take a wait and see approach, but it is naive to think that these entities do not have the potential to diminish non wing racing.

I’m pretty sure “wailing” has commenced. Congratulations!

Watch for it when the racing season resumes east of the Mississippi.

What’s keeping winged racing from being bigger or more prevalent in Indiana is the crowds. That High Limit show was not well attended for having Larson there and it being “championship” night. And apparently the Maverick show had a crowd much worse than High Limit. I know it was cold but they’re paying a good purse and I can’t imagine this guy will want to pay top dollar regional purses if crowds don’t get better.

Another quick question, who on here would like to replace real sprint cars with the winged version in the Hoosier state?

GOD'S Sprint Cars or SATAN'S Sprint Cars. Which will it be? The battle of the ages!:44::44::44::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

I was at the High Limit race and thought it was a good crowd for a Tuesday night.

WAS YOU THERE ? I was and the crowd was pretty damn good , stands full, pits full , no parking, cars parking in the pits as overflow and out near main road and it was a Tuesday night . I was a non wing guy for 30 years but ran wing wings when I first started and I hope they come back, they put on a good show.

I understand what you are saying, but don't know that I agree. I think the Maverick series, could and should be worried about MOWA, FAST, and the All Stars. There isn't much wing racing in Indiana, but we are surrounded by it. I think they would need to get a few of those teams onboard. I think the All Stars may have a more condensed schedule. If Maverick runs 12 races and pays close attention to what other series are doing, they could be successful.

I ask these simple questions because sometimes it feels like there’s a genuine disdain, one for the other. Anyone who pays attention to anything I’ve ever posted, knows I love both but God’s Sprint Cars are better. I do not however wish any ill will on Mr Abe and his series. I hope it turns into a nice little series to provide a little variety. I can’t overstate how fortunate I feel to have been born in Indiana, the home of wingless Sprint Cars. I hope it never changes. It’s Abe’s money and he can spend it how he wants, I just wish someone like him would dump a ton of money into our traditional Indiana scene. Money buys exposure and that’s really all wingless needs to prove it’s value. And of course it would help if some of the graduates, that went on to the Big Time would attach their name to it, especially when so many used it as a springboard to stardom. My good friend Yeleyfan76 is a testament to the greatness of our racing in the Hoosier state. He and his Dad pack up from eastern PA and drive past countless wing tracks to come to ISW and others. They saw the light and I’m sure glad they did because I love hanging out with them on their trips to Indiana. Long Live Indiana Sprint Cars!!!🏁🏁🍻

The High Limit show at Lincoln Park was not even close to full and that is a small grandstand. They ran 2 shows at Lernerville and Bridgeport (whisper: they were on Tuesday as well) and they had big crowds. Not so in Putnamville.

Thank you Kevin Newton Abe roofing.
I see you sponsored all 3 national divisions of USAC fast times this year. You own race cars We all saw your cars parked down near turn 4 at the 4 crown. You sponsor race cars and your starting a wing series.
I appreciate your dedication and support of sprint car racing. Open wheel racing is better with you in it, thank you.

I find it interesting you didn’t answer his question. By not answering it you seem unqualified to comment on the attendance at Putnamville.

Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series
 

Mscs?

You are correct, the invisible fans seen only by those in attendance packed the place to capacity. Those fans were not picked up by the countless drone shots of the crowd on Flo. Only by being there could you see the capacity crowd on hand.

Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series
 

Actually in my 50 years in the sport I have noticed one thing that is constant......whenever a guy comes in and throws around big chunks of money they usually aren't around long. I hope I'm wrong on this one.

Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series
 

The fans were dressed as empty seats which is why the drones did not see them.

First off, no one said it was packed to capacity. Those are your words. Those on this board that attended all have the same opinion of the overall crowd. It was good and respectable on very cool night. Been to Putnamville enough to know when there is a good crowd and this was a good crowd not ISW sell out good. I get the feeling that you think it has to be a sell out or Kings Royal attendance to be a well attended.

With an $80k purse, 2/3rds full at Putnamville doesn’t cut it. And not every winged sprint car race in Indiana will have backing from Flo. The All Stars ran into the same issue when they tried multiple shows in Indiana a couple of years back.

Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series
 

Wonder how many of the Allstar teams that may not be interested in chasing a national series may a new home with this series or at least hit many of the races.
