My panties are never in a bunch. As an owner of a 360 and 410 sprint car team, a partner in a USAC sprint car team, and owner of a ARDC non-wing midget,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I've got a pretty good idea of what has to and what doesn't have to be done to switch over. It is not just taking the wing off any more nor is it just bolting on a wing.

You need a wider axle, different birdcages, a different shock package, different wheel offsets, some different gears, different tires......if any of you think this stuff is cheap, I would be happy to let you buy the stuff for me and I'll "sack up" and bring Dave Ely to race with you guys.

Bottom line, financially it doesn't make sense for me to do it. Here is PA, I can run as many races as I care to run using the equipment I already have. If it made financial sense, we'd be there....so if some of you "talkers" would like to "sack up" and become a "spender"....I'm sure you could coax a local of your choice to run those races.....hmmmmmmm...thought so.
