Probably more 5.0 Fords still on the road than any thing else, I just bought one, all wrapped up in really nice Mustang! Bob

How impressive was the 305 sprint last night ? was it faster than the "sportsman midgets ? How many "wang whiners" gagged when it hit the track? hope they all survived.

It sounded like the engine was straining to push the car around the track.It looked to be tracking straight and true as if it was on pavement If they want to run a smaller engine maybe a smaller wing.Tinsnips anyone?My preference is no wing.P.S.Hats off to Brian,Hunter,Brady and Gary,our NW boys

Rebuilds are infrequent and teching is much simpler that the 305 program.
accord speedway in NY is going to try this class as well with new egypt speedway in nj watching to see how it works out for accord.
not sure if that is such a good idea. there are already too many classes in the pa/nj/ny area. they just seemed to get the 305 class off the ground and now someone is bringing in another class.
imo...if someone wants to start something, how about taking off the wings in some of these classes already running.
the 305's have already become the "haves and have nots" and there ARE 25k sealed motors out there running with (beating) the 8k home built entries....racesaver also limits Ti on the cars, but the guys load up on it in the places it is allowed....now we have special rears that use midget gears, new injectors, ect, ect just for the 305's which all equal more money spent for the car and less money at the pay window.
between the speedstrs, 305s 358s 360s 410s super sportsmen, midgets, 1000, 600 and 270 as well as the other classes of micros, late models,limited late models, street stocks and all deviations of their class, modifieds, sportsmen, 358 modifieds, crate modifieds (a and b) 600 modifieds, slingshots....jesus, i could almost go on forever....its no wonder the car counts are down everywhere....as well as fans....cause there is a damn class for every fan that wants to race!!!!! they everyone bitches that this track owner or this promoter is a "back gate promoter"....well, they almost gotta be anymore.
305's are a good idea....as long as they are REALLY kept under control. use racesaver rules, stick to them, and maybe even make it a claimer class to stop the big money guys from outspending everyone to make $150.
this will allow the karters and micro guys to move up the racing ladder without going broke....maybe they would stay with the 305's, maybe move to the 410s in a few seasons. but to keep fragmenting existing classes with offshoots is not the answer.
good luck to bloomington speedway....imo....adding the 305s is better than adding anything with fenders.
