Let me add to this discussion a few things. Here is Oklahoma we have a "economy" non wing class. What in sprint cars is economy? This class is bascially what most of you guys are talking about. Our engine is basically a IMCA Northern/Southern sport mod motor. Steel block, steel head, 5.7 rods etc etc. No fuel injection. The class has been around for going on about 4 to 5 years. When the class started there were only three cars. This year I would not be surprised to see 18 to 20 cars. I bet I have about 4 grand in my motor.
Looking around this region of Oklahoma/Kansas and Texas the 305's are growing in popularity but also price as well. Their is a 305 group in Kansas and I have heard of those guys having 12 to 15 in thier motors. This coming from a promoter. I have looked at a complete 305 raceceiver motor that is sealed on line to get a good idea on price and the webiste I saw had a complete motor for near 8 grand. With ASCS going 305's, they are a series, primarily in West Texas and New Mexico I see that 8 grand slowly rising as IMCA and Knoxville both are running 305's.
