As far as 305, 360, 602, etc. mentioned elsewhere, I used to go to motorcycle races and laugh at them and say the best thing about sprint cars was that (at that time) they were pretty much the same everywhere. That sure isn't the case anymore, and I don't like it.
If it was up to me, it would be 410 sprint cars without wings on the schedule at Plymouth. Imagine a Friday (Gas City), Saturday (Plymouth) and Sunday (Kokomo) circuit and what it would do for sprint car racing in northern Indiana.
If Plymouth had announced they were running nonwing sprints every week, there'd be people on here throwing a fit and asking where all the cars are going to come from.
Plymouth has been running mini sprints and you have to believe from that bunch there are going to be a few of them move up, and if it's successful, more will follow. We need some NEW blood.
I don't know if this will work out, but a track within my driving distance added sprint cars to their regular program. To me, that's a good thing.
I agree as far as Plymouth running 410s on a regular basis.
Being up north I'm faced with either having to go south on Saturday nights or over to Ohio. If Plymouth ran sprints regularly it would be great, especially with Gas City only running a limited schedule on Fridays.
The only downside is you don't wanna pull too many cars away from all the tracks in the south that run Saturday nights.
