Just my opinion... Don't shoot!
Goes back to the old CTBC..
Cost To Be Competitive.
Yes it is true you can buy a sprint car for what a competitive 1000cc will cost, however you will not be competive in that car unless you go to a track that runs 2-3 features a night for a sprint class.
Older sprints with -11, or even -12 head engines would do good to qualify in a USAC show.
Then the cost of owning it is often over looked.
Sprint cars eat tires, if your going to be competive you need atleast a RR a night $250 or so a night there, fuel I'm guessing 20 gal to 30 gal a night.
When the engine does go south, the major cost sets in. Rebuilds alone cost what an entire 1000cc car can be purchased for....
All these facts is why I think the 305 Racesavers will take off here. The engine rules and cost are somewhat comparative to 1000cc cars. A working man could own and win races in either class. Both great platforms for a working budget.
