[QUOTE=Backitin;455831]I don't think a car count can shame one type of racing or not.
The shame comes when the actual racing starts and the real sprintcars put on a show worlds better then the winged cars. Happens 99% of the time.[/QUOTE im not a fender guy but I've seen some entry level classes put on a great race, any of it can be good

The promoter increased the winners share by $6,000 and 8th thru 24th by $7,600 (a total of $13,600).

All of this is posted on the tracks website.

Dudes please chill abit about seeing good races in all types of racing. I've stated before that the best race I probley ever seen was a lawnmower race.
I was comparing nonwing vs winged cars. Yes I know theres been good wing races but even my 8 year old granddaughter knows that a traditional sprint on a good track will put on twice the show as a winged car, INLESS your in it for top speed and going as straight as possible.
As for never seeing a bad race, you aint been where I been I guess because I've seen plenty of them.
Fender cars huh, apples and oranges. I prefer not to watch slow, or fast for that matter cars lean on each other the whole race with usually no consequences. To each there own.

I agree that NW on a good track and I'll add with some top talent can be a heck of a race. I'm guessing your 8 yo granddaughter realizes that type of track doesn't happen every week either with only a few exceptions.

As usual, if it ain't K-ville with a wing, you downplay it at best or insult it at worst (typical of the hosehead crowd). I'm guessing you don't go to Badlands enough. When you try to make a point, invalid or not, you should investigate a little on your own, instead of relying on other haters on that other forum for the information you parrot.

Fantastic racing all over the track last night. It was my first NW race, and I'm hooked.

Wth?

t isn't even wing vs non. Its about a big wing race in wing area.

Like I said the kings royal, open knox nationals chili bowl etc. WERE ALL NON SANCTION FOR YEARS. Imagine if the kinsers wolfgangs, swindells, allens ferkles etc. Were not allowed to run them those races first several years?

chances are none of those races would exist today.

Chances are none of those big paying races (except the KR) would exist were it not for Earl Baltes.

You are correct sir, I don't make it to Badlands often enuff but it is 900 miles one way for me. I have made the trip 3-4 times tho.
