There are definitely a lot of questions for the race tracks too. SOD has been a very reliable affordable partner for all tracks in Michigan for a very long time with a very successful package. 2016 is going to be a nervous year. Sure any track can schedule dates, but if the car counts aren't there because of the decisions of the management, that leaves the tracks taking the heat from the race fans hurting repeat business in the future.

I believe the new SOD rules package is good for racers looking to make that initial step for getting into winged racing, but for those who have already made the commitment for the 360 rules package, it's a slap in the face. Had SOD made the decision back around 2000 for these new rules, I don't think this would be anywhere near as big of a deal. However now that the winged community has settled on 410 "Outlaw" rules and 360 ASCS rules for the national standards, it makes it extremely costly for EVERYONE to make such a significant change.

We hope to have both SOD and GLSS at Hartford Speedway next year.
