I would be really happy to see this club run a few shows without wings next year.

Over at Facebook, Ryan Litt was talking about "20 races in 6 different states and possibly Canada". It sounds they will busy in 2011.

He's right on track! There might be a couple of other shows besides Must See races in that number but Mr. Hanks was looking to have Must See Racing at sixteen races or more for 2011. He is very deliberate in his scheduling and has a pretty strong season ready to announce within the next week (IMIS) or two.

This series has made a commitment to racing winged sprint cars in longer feature events than what has been raced in previous years. In 2010 the series has produced 50 and sixty lap feature events, and may again shake up the program for 2011.

PURELY PERSONAL, I'd love to run 100 laps without the wings. Must See Racing has a good thing going with the wings. The wing sets the series apart visually from the USAC program.

The Little 500 will be a good race again as always. I don't think there are any monumental changes in that program. Still a great show and I will go from there to Indy for the 100th anniversary Race the next morning.

Scott,

Like always we anxiously await your call of the first event for the fire breathing monsters. You have become a master of providing a quality call for the fans. 2010 was a great year for both Must See Racing and HOSS. I know you are a part of both series and I am glad that we have people like Jim Hanks and Tony Swanson heading up the respective series. I look forward to seeing the schedules and making plans for another great year of racing. I hope you and your family have a very safe and happy Thanksgiving. Hope to see you at the races.

I too would like to see a couple of non-wing dates, but I don't think it will happen. With USAC down on car count, I think that would give the perception that the crowds would be down also. Before you all start screaming, I said perception, not fact.
I'd love to see a race like the Florida 400 happen again. We had a blast down there the year I ran it. And if it would of been the Florida 365, we would of had a top ten finish!

I totally agree with you Tom. And I sure wish it had been the 365 cause I think we would have won it.
