I also notice many kids are into seeing wings sprints more than nonwing. This just happens to be what I observed. Others may totally disagree.

I don't totally disagree, but running 3 classes of the same looking sprints work at Knoxville weekly, and all over PA (305, 360, 410), so whats the reason Bloomington has to be so special? If its all about cost, why add another $1000 on top of a car? And with so many true non wing cars in that area, you cant hand them down at a bargain price because of no wing mounts, the engine is laid back, 53" front axles, shock mounts are different etc etc.
To get this class going right away, drop a 305 in a good used roller.....same Hoosier Medium tire so they can run used ones that are all over the greater Indy area and go race.
In Jacksonville IL it makes sense to run with a wing due to their location.
I see our new friend from Texas, Nathan Moore is starting a 305 Racesaver series without wings based out of the Dallas area, per his Facebook.
