I ran with the Hoosier Sprint Car Assoc. too, and it was a lot of fun. If I recall correctly, their tire rule was "any used tire":O: I say keep it simple. If you have a steel block, you're in. There will always be over funded teams that kind of spoil the fun for the shade tree mechanic, and I'm sure you will have that with this group as well. That's okay. Keeping the payout window under $1000 to win will keep most of the guys who have lots of money going to places where they pay lots of money. On the other hand, if you can, pay well DEEEEEP into the field. Give the guy who runs last or doesn't make the show enough money to have paid for his evening. He'll come back. Let the the modified guys see that they can make $200 a night to run last in a sprint car vs. $20 to run last in a modified. I would not make this a winged series. Wings are expensive. It is difficult to carry a spare wing on an open trailer. Wings make big motors more necessary. Wings eat up tires. $.02
