Most of the dirt tracks in Indiana that run sprint cars are in Central & Southern Indiana. Trying to draw cars from Northern Ohio would be difficult at best.

Attica & Fremont already take up Friday and Saturday nights so that would pretty much leave out most of the dirt sprint car tracks in Indiana. Most promoters are already running at least 3 different classes and from a fans stand point, I don't want to see 4 or more classes. I doubt that any track is looking to drop a current class to add 305 sprint cars to their regular show.

In this economy, most promoters are looking to keep their most successful shows and eliminate the losers. Trying something like this is all new and in my opinion, the risks outweigh the benefits.

A few questions for you. What tracks would you like to see run 305's in Indiana? Do you feel that another class at one of these tracks would be a benefit? Where would the cars for a 305 class come from? What type of purse would it take to bring enough cars for this to successful?
To answer the last few questions - Just my thoughts.
What Tracks? Plymouth, Bowell (Daugherty. A.K.A. KAMP), Kokomo every few Sundays
Yes at Plymouth but their still figuring things out with this dirt racing.
Where would cars come from? Start from the bottom up with guys building cars
What Type of Purse? $700-$800 to win & $125-$140 to start 20 cars & $60-$65 tow mone
