Dave, That's a novel idea, It appears to me that Dirt track racing in the area is struggling for Fan support (for many reasons), resulting in promoters depending more on Racer support (back gate) to survive, additional classes may help some tracks remain open, especially if it could result in a feeder class for a more a popular division.
Some posters put down Paragon's $500 to win purse structure, but it draws more sprints on a weekly basis than other area tracks, A lower budget winged sprint division just may develop into a similar car count in a couple of years, who knows, maybe take the wings off occasionally, providing some experience for Racers wanting to move up to N/W 410's.
The Mod's were not very well received a few years ago, we have accepted them (or tolerate in some opinions) into the local tracks program, look at their car counts, probably the highest of the weekly classes (except Paragon) I have not seen or heard any track promoters complain about Modifieds, I suspect we all, as fans, have our own favorite class, I suggest we support whatever it takes to keep local tracks open and avoid another Gas City experience.
