I don't have a dog in your fight back there on this issue but I will say this..........

I have raced non-winged sprints, midgets and lightning sprints. I enjoyed the **** out of all of them. I also enjoy the sprints and lighting sprints winged. The thing you need to remember is spectator appeal. The wing gives the lightning sprint identity. It also gives it speed. Speed the spectator can usually see. I have raced in groups that combine full midgets and lighting sprints and was rather lucky depending on track size. The ultimate goal I think was to promote midgets using the lightning sprints until they filled their fields with full midgets which was fine.....I was having fun. My point..........promote the class you started with......not another class. There is a midget class. Let them survive on their own. Promote your winged lighting sprint class and make sure it flourishes before you start basically splitting it up. Besides..........due to horsepower differentials......Midgets race completely different that non-winged lightning sprints and put on a much better show. Non-winged lighting sprints don't have the power to look as good as a midget. Remember these words.........."crowd appeal."

Another thing...........DAD is right............get on your head without a wing on a fast track and see if your attitude about winged/non-winged changes somewhat. Wings are cheap compared to entire cars and time off work. Something I unfortunately know more about that I care to. But I still like non-winged racing but there are classes more suited for it in my opinion.
