With 5 car being tore up bad. I'm not sure going wing less is a good thing for the sport unless your selling parts.

Shouldn't be any different from a midget. I think the more races they run the drivers will get better and better.

Who all got tore up? I own a mini sprint and I'm all for taking the wings off occasionally. It will only make us better

It makes better drivers. Better racing. Almost all the cars that left broken were results of contact, most likely would have had 5 junk wings!

I'm wondering if they take the wings off more often if you will see car counts drop and become more of a non-wing and wing races like you have in the full size sprints where some only run wing and some only run non-wing. I think the wing has established a good car count at a number of tracks will that be the case if more non wing races next year? I'm just curious, not sure what the car counts were this weekend for MMSA.

With the wings you only lose a $400+ wings with non wing you lose $$$ frame and other parts. Same thing happen to me in MOLS series my first year while leading the race. No fault of my own I got ran over from behind but it cost me over $3000 to get back on the track because my frame was trashed. If I would of had a wing on it would of been a softer landing and most likly just the wing. So $400 or $3000 and up. I really dont know why everyone wants to turn these cars into midgets. They are not.

The contact was from drivers that couldn't control there car do to not having a wing. Are first race at brownstown had 20 winged mini-sprints not one caution. On 8-28 had 16 sign in and had 16 finish.

earlier in the year when we ran non wing at salem, we had about 18-20 cars, all cars made it to the main, and the main went Green to checkard.

Big differents in tracks small 1/4 to a big 3/8. Few cars at Salem never made it to the Heat races. I'm not sure you are correct on the green to Checkard.
