I highly doubt there are "hundreds" of non wing racers out there. Some of you who only go to non wing dirt races in Indiana (or the two or three other states with one track a night that run non-wing) need to get out more. There are hundreds of winged "crutch cars" (you know the ones people get paid real purses to race!), hundreds of IMCA/UMP/USMTS modifieds and hundreds of dirt late models.
THERE ALSO IS A REASON BILL HAS AN OLD TIMERS FORUM!
*** NEWSFLASH *** the '50-70's are over! If you have worked in the auto or racing industry in the last 15 years you would realize some things.
Who are we to say how the Hulman George family conducts there business. If it was so great then why did it change? We are the ones dumb enough to follow sports that are so heavily controlled by money.
The 50's-70's might be gone, but that doesnt mean the racing wasnt better then. Back a couple, few decades the top racers in the country were in Indycars and such. They were better because they raced, alot, on all different mediums. Thats all they did was race. Now days everybody is tweetin and twittering or what ever they do. I honestly think today it's more important to have your twittering down pat then your racing skills if you want a good ride. You dont need to be on a old timers forum to know whats good and whats sugar coated crap. It changed because of money, money talks even though it's usually mentally challenged. I'm proud to say I'm a oldtimer when it comes to racing. If you grew up around race tracks in the 60's and 70's, your lucky very, lucky.
At least folks that been there and can compare the two times and make they're own decision, Now days pretty much all the "big time racing" is follow the leader. Somebody mentioned that like ten of the guys at gas city on any given night are better then the current Indy drivers and I dont doubt it for one minute. Those are the guys that get my
