The reason I bring this up is I had a conversation with a racer that his excuse for not racing my series was the non wing is faster then the wing cars (mini sprint). I kinda laugh and told this gentleman there was no way on god's green earth the winged cars are slower. He said, "I beg to differ, we had our car out on the road and a sheriff clocked it with and without the wing and it was faster without." Are you serious?
I suppose that could be true but do we drag raced and not race in a circle? I could not make this person understand with a wing the corner speed is much faster thus the straightaway speed is greater....

I guess the saying...."You can lead a horse to water but you sure as hell can not make him drink".....is true

Just wanted to give my fellow non wing fans a laugh today!!!

A winged Sprintcar is normally about 2 seconds fatser than a non-wing car... but it is possible that with and under powered car that already has little to no tire spin the wing could slow it down depending on the race track but i doubt it...

The wing causes a ton of drag. if traction isn't an issue the non wing car will have a faster top speed but the corner speeds of a wing car allow it 2 have faster lap times. Down a half mile or longer stretch of pavement the car without a wing will top end better.

From the times I recieve from the transponders the wing cars are faster. we have cars that run both classes and i have seen a pick up of over a second on the same car with a wing.

a non wing car is faster on the straightaway!!!!!!!!!! We raced springfield silver crown and woo sprints the same day ill highway patrol had aradar gun on every car! And the silver crown cars where 15 mph faster on the straightaway and the woo cars where 3 sec faster a lap!

agree if we are DRAG racing ...just thought it was a poor excuse not to come race

Here's what a wing can do for ya' on dirt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NgRtRZps8c :2:

I agree, non wings usually put on a much better show on the dirt than the wings do on dirt. On pavement, I kinda like the wings.

I agree 100% non wing much better show
