I prefer non wing racing. But the dollars follow winged racing. I think that huge billboard up top is a good start for advertising as well. The other thing is drivers. Non wing racing has few hot beds. Most who think they have the talent to compete at the top level, and can afford to do so move to indiana. Winged racing/series are sprinkled on everywhere. For the big event in non wing you’ll be lucky to see 40 cars. The guys who know they won’t make it or are even thinking they may not make the show simply won’t show up. The risk isn’t worth the reward. The non wing game has become somewhat of a clique and a who’s who deal more than racing. I’ve seen stuff fo down that people should be banned or at least suspended for and they get nothing and then seen people do something very minor and get thrown the book at. You’ll never grow a series by having favorites, you’ll also never attract sponsors that way. No one wants to spend their hard earned money on something that’s going to get minimal coverage because he’s not one of the big 5 or what have you with the series. They need better coverage of the races. I think Tony has the right energy but you can tell he’s new to these drivers and this type of racing and that rubs some fans the wrong way. In my personal opinion, as a kid, and still to this day, Johnny Gibson is the best part of a WoO show. And that I’m itself gets people excited to keep coming back. Having someone in the booth passionate and knowledgeable about the sport is worth is it’s weight in gold.
