Would it be wise or not for a Indiana track or two to go with 360 with the ASCS head rule?
IMHO its the only way to grow the sport getting engines to run 45-50 races vs 20-30.
Your views? Personally, I don't think the fans in the stands would tell much difference at all.

I don't get what needs to grow, in Indiana most normal Saturday nights has anywhere from 60 to 90+ sprint cars running at 3 different race tracks. Pick any other state in country and you will be luck to find 60 cars running on a regular basis let alone on the same night.
Why do some think there needs to be a change to make things better, Indiana has the best sprint car racing scene in the United States. I used to have to drive 6 hours to run my car when I lived in Las Vegas. In Indiana the furthest I would have to drive would be a couple hours to race on any Saturday night, The truth is the same for any fan.
I run on a very limited budget out of my own pocket and if I were force to have to down size an engine I just built (a steel block 406) and buy new heads, I would be done and not be able to race for at least a season. Don't assume that all that have sprint cars have an unlimited budget and can just up and scrap what they have. I know from being around that there are a lot more guys like me than most people realize so In my personal opinion I say no. We have it pretty good her in Indiana so lets look at the glass as half full not half empty.
