This same question was posted on the tracks Facebook page earlier today.
Now that the track has run both Wing and Non-Wing Sprints what would you like to see there next year in 2014?
410 Winged Sprints
410 Non-Wing Sprints
360 Winged Sprints
or other: Late Models - Midgets
The 3 picture below are from this past weekend: Saturday, August 17th 2013.
Drivers and teams what do you think would be the best option for the track and get the best field of cars??
Don't want to dilute the car counts at other tracks.
So what are your thoughts on this??

Nice of you guys to note that dilution could occur. With that, who would you be going up against:
Fridays: Gas City non wings, and if it pans out, I-96 Speedway wings in 2014.
Saturdays: Butler wings. Everything else is down by, or south of Indy.
Sundays: Kokomo non wings.
I like the idea on non wings on Saturdays, and that leaves open the the option of switching to Sundays for a few weeks in August once Kokomo shuts down (until the Smackdown). Another open option with a non wing program is Gas City does not run every Friday night - they take a few off. Maybe a few Friday night shows at Plymouth in place of. Tough business decision I am sure. Good luck.
Anyone hear anything about Angola considering changing over to dirt?

They are considering the dilution. That's why I asked. Just trying to figure out what would be best for the at the Plymouth Speedway. After this weekend they are going to reshape the track, add more banking, and likely bring in some new clay. They don't want to dilute the other tracks. They would like to have what's best for all tracks. The question was originally intended for drivers and teams to gauge interest in figuring out what they should consider racing In 2014 between 410 Non-Wing Sprints, 410 Wing Sprints, 360 Wing Sprints, & UMP Late Models but that's ok good to see fans voting as well. Hopefully 2014 will be a great season for all Indiana dirt tracks.
You guys are smack in the middle of late model area and sprint cars..There may be a few more options for some sprint cars..Maybe not run them weekly but def run them a few more times than you did this year..baby steps are key ..I know there have been some rambles of Pelier possibly running a non wing show next year..but that def isnt set in stone..Plymouth is doing great things and they have shown that you can convert over to a new surface and still be successful..their fan count is crazily high. I still would like to get up there 1 time when Montpelier isnt racing but we run just about every week so it makes it tough.
How about running the Non-Wing deal 3 weeks out of the month and running a special Late Model or Winged Sprint show on the 4th week? This would give the Non-Wing guys a break or chance to go somewhere else once a month and also give the fans something different!
Not trying to hijack the thread talking about other tracks lol..but even with the midgets at montpelier we run them 10 times a year and we started small but the support has been great this year in the pits and in the stands every time we run them..maybe start off small like that..run a few races see what the support would be for each class..just not sprints and base off of that..sometimes smaller car counts produce great racing..
Alternate weekends between non wing and lates. Once a month run a wing show with 410s and 360s. No matter what you do most everyone on here will find a reason to complain
