My whole reason to start this was it flat doesn't make sense money wise for the teams. They chose the higher priced 305 engine rules, and also put wings on them. Why??? Why not ask the racers to attend a meeting to explore the idea before announcing the package? Why doesnt the track participate in ANY of these public discussions? Wings, $7,500 engines and a Hoosier tire rule have been proven to NOT save teams ANY money, period! I yet again ask those who participate in this discussion to have facts not opinion to add. Still have yet to see any one person have a fact that makes sense why the wings need to be on them. There is a reason why no tracks in Indiana run wings. I was around and participating in the races when Put and Kokomo were the only non wing tracks. If there is a reason for the wings I am all ears. But I can see no logical reason to add $2,000 of aluminum to a race operation plus the maint/repair/replace expenses. The fact that I have not seen anything from those who propose this idea bothers me. Are they listening? I would love to speak with some one from the track about this. To me non wing cars with $5,000 or less engines and use same tires that race on current cars makes much more sense to me.
