Welcome home. I just retired in June after 21 years as a Navy Seabee. I was there twice. I personally can help you out with your safety equipment as I am the head of Bell Helmets. I also race non wing and my advice is since you are from the Evansville area, spend your own money and buy your own car.
The MSCS is a non wing series based out of Haubstadt, the owner of the series being the owner of that track on rt 41. Another series you can run in the area is the American Sprint Car Tour, which is another non wing, but steel block based series.
Get your feet wet in 2010 and get to know some people. Then if you want to run ASCS, or the All Stars, you'll have more of an idea what you would be getting into. With your home base, the wing series would involve considerable travel.....not to mention your investment the first year. Also their is a family across the bridge in Henderson Ky, the Gentry's, that run 4-5 sprints out of their shops that would be good to get to know for help and advice. Finding IOW was a good start too. If you are still on leave and have some time, come to Indy this Wed or Thursday to the big ass IMIS trade show downtown at the convention center. This is a big family, we'll get ya going.
