Just checkin'. I was wondering, why, would USAC make owners weld spuds on top of the cage to accept a wing tree when they already have, at their disposal (so to speak) a wonderfully entertaining sprint car division. Not that there's anything wrong with winged pavement sprints. I really, really, like ALL of the pavement winged sprints. Obviously........there are many, many pavement cars that are currently parked, that could still be run, without modification, under the "old" pavement rules. I don't dislike the winged series'. (sp????) But, if you know me, and who I am,(not that I'm 'anybody') then you also know my background............
I MUST go on record to say that I DO NOT dislike wings. It's just that it is quite a bit different, regardless.......

My favorite thing in life, is..........pavement sprints.

Please keep in mind, that.......there are sprint cars, and winged sprint cars........in that order. Dirt or pavement. Does not matter. That, by the way, is a rather famous quote from a MAJOR driver. I dunno who. That's for Richie or Vukie..........

Note to USAC......Please....and I do mean please......do not further your recent history of rather shabby treatment of owners (Ignite fuel, for example). I have never been able to shed the feeling that OUR fans have been, and still are, pi$$ed off by YOUR recent actions, as of the the last 5 or 6 years or so, and I DO MEAN, across the board. When I came into this sport, I was competing against Jason Smith, who was a mechanic at the time. So was Jason McCord. That was circa 1990. I WILL NOT say ANYTHING against those men. I do not know, and I do not want to know. I will work 'wherever'. Just ask Daron, or KT, or Mike Bowman, or Tanner Swanson, or Jimmie Gardner, or Jeff Bloom, or Don Wilshe, or AJ Russell, or maybe Jason Blonde, or Carla Phillips(I tried). All I want (who doesn't) is to compete. I'm just a pawn......If I'm lucky........ Point is, I AM NOT saying anything negative about anyone.

I guess that all I am trying to convey, via this thread, is why, would USAC, make "us" put on wings when it's already out there, and wonderfully so, when 'we' already have a lot of cars/teams ready to go, if willing? I don't get it.
