Old timer, it was my fault it got hijacked. Sorry. I had a question about something I had read with in the thread and the focus totally shifted to that. However, I did get my question answered and did learn some things.

DAD, what announcement are you hoping for?

This class "is" running next season.
I personally know of 4 cars in the building process, and two people that have already purchased sealed built Racesaver engines from Texas.

The track is currently working on a purse structure and it will run 305's weekly.

Those that are serious about this class should call the track office at 812-824-7400 if no answer leave name and number and Kris Kirchner will call you back asap.

There must be some difference in a big time motor, rather an every Friday or Saturday night motor for 7k.

Darland, Stanbrough, and Short run up front because they are good, not because of more power, they could do the same with a 7k engine. Ive seen Darland and Christopher Bell both run up front last year, in a car that had an engine in it close to that price.

We looked into the 305 and have decided. We are going to see where the class goes in 2015.im not going to build a motor that could end up sitting in the corner of the shop. Jmo

Dad, the 25k hits came about 3 hr's earlier than you predicted, I believe there really is some interest, this board needs something like this occasionally, to pique viewers attention/passion on sprint car racing.

Is it time to start talking Mini Sprints again?

This stuff looks more like ******** every day half are for it and half are against it or are the nays just more vocal and organized. It sounds like a good deal but Sandy is right also (It must be within reason) if it is to work.

We ran at little Salem as the top class of their program, that was neat with lots of peaks. Everyplace else we have ever raced has always been as a support class, and as a support class one needs to know their place in the scheme of things.

I don't see two support classes being dropped but one is probably going to have to go.

I will believe it when it is in a printed document from the race track.

PS. In the poll I appear to be in the loyal minority, and their is nothing "communistic" about me, just good business practice and knowledge of what it will take to get to the race track and back home again.

those interested may want to check out the classified from the Missouri area. quite a few winged 305s gathering dust around there

Oldfan, Not sure of the point to your post ? regardless, there is a huge market across the country for these cars & parts, Interested racers should shop around, there's some very good deals out there. I have found that people buy these cars because they want to race, they decide to sell for a multitude of reasons.

[oldfan49]

my point was they were down to one track running them and that track is no more. I posted to give people out there interested a source and those back here a way to unload cars they have in storage because of it.
