You don't see that because there is a reason why they are back markers in non-wing either they have less talent or less money(or both) than the front runners. If they moved to wings they would still have less talent and because it costs more to run wings they would be even farther behind in the $$ race. So your point doesn't really prove a point.

Thank you all for the entertainment. I would rather be at the racetrack than arguing any day. When in doubt see quote below.

That quote applies to LOTS more than sprint car racing!

Either that car or one like it is here in Cincinnati. A local guy has a huge collection of stuff.

Disagree on a couple things. He made a valid point, if wings are a crutch some one with lesser abilities should improve if only a little. Second is cost. It did not cost me more when I ran my car. And I've been around a few non wing cars and see what they spend and could've only hoped to be able to have their budget.

2 years ago I caught a WOO race , it was not my 1st, but to that point I had seen very few. To sum up the last 2 years, I have seen about 50 winged races between the WOO and the All Stars and I am a fan. I was a wing basher for 40 years....Now I am a fanatic, for some reason I feel like I am watching the biggest event in racing each time, can not pin point the reason, marketing, announcers, sponsors, something makes me gravitate to them. Plus they race for real money ??

I'd love to see that! However, it was a fairly typical Competition Coupe for that era, there were plenty that were similar....

Brady Bacon has a column in the latest Sprintcar and Midget, talking about the differences in the cars. He has done a lot of both, and has some good insight.

If you're ever in Cincinnati look me up. There are 2 guys here in town with big collections
