I grew up in Central PA so I've had a steady diet of winged racing for over 40 years. Occassionally, we'd get a visit from CRA, SCRA or USAC. Non-wing racing was a rare treat we only got from time to time.
However, I have developed a deeper appreciation for non-wing racing after we bought a midget. I just believe the racing is more exciting. ARDC is beginning to build a following back East. We're the only game in town for the non-wing fan back here.
Also, not all winged racing is single file. You need to check out a regular show at Lincoln (PA). The locals hate time trials so the fields are handicapped. The fast guys start mid-pack, and the racing is intense.
We have a friend whose wife is from SoCal. She's from a racing family and they came East to visit her. He took them to Lincoln, and they could not believe the action. They said the handicapping made for a great show. Unfortunately, the fast guys hate the system, and certain teams have figured out how to scam it.
Finally, I like them all on dirt. I've been to some asphalt midget shows, but they just didn't cut it. I guess if that's all I had I could adapt.
