What about Uprights with 13" wheels/tires. Combine 600 and 1000's?

With Michigan changing some rules will the 600's be upright or sidewinders?

the up right 600s can come run with the 600s with the same tiers and wheels that the 600 use thank you jack from micwest indoor racing series

We run two classes of 600s one with the wings and one without the wings. The wings race pays 500 to win and the non wing pays 300 to win so you could win 800 for both.
