Smaller Wings

I believe there would be even more winged car fans if the size of the wings didnt get out of hand. The first plywood wings were very small and centered over the car. There were no front wings. It helped the car but didnt push it to the track with tons of downforce. Also the car looked more traditional compared to the cars now, most fans would prefer to see into the car and actually see a driver. The engine and tire costs wouldnt be as huge as with todays hogsheds. Them cars i wouldnt bash like I do the winged cars of today, heck I'd even go watch. On the Eldora broadcast last night the announcer hit it right on the head when he said the guys were trying to keep they're cars as straight as possible, I personally see no drama, no wheelies, no guys really backin in those biotches. To me not a product I can watch or support. I am honestly amazed when someone can watch a race with maybe one or two slide jobs, 9 times out of ten a straight line freight train to the finish and say they saw a good race. Anyhow thats what went wrong, the wings got way to big, way too adjustable . This isnt whining on a nonwing site, this is just stating the facts as alot of nonwing guys live by. Have a blast in whatever you race.
