re: Jon,Mk & Dirt, Looks like some viewers are beginning to figure this thing out, The folks at Bloomington Speedway are not entering into this without a purpose or plan, and as usual, some viewers just don't like them, however, the RACING goes on for all. How about we all be thankful that a Friday night "Indiana" track is planning to operate for the 2015 season, personally, I'm looking forward to it.

I think a cheaper class of Sprints is a great idea. And I would be interested in being and owner/driver. But not with a wing on it.

And without fans, no track owner can open the track for you to race your car. Regardless of whether it has a wing on it or not.

Its a weekly running track. The fans are already there. Yet again missing the point.

Bob thank you for considering being a car owner. What are we all missing. Because im thinking about it also. I know sometimes when you get your thoughts in one direction you can get tunnel vision. Im sure im not thinking about something. Lets build a car

those 305 guys spend about as much money as the 410 guys and I like the non wings better than wings but I still like all sprint cars. I think it will all be good racing and I am looking forward to the races.

I've been told there are no on track wing adjusters and the racesavers will be held to 10 degrees to keep from dragging the motors down

Joe, I am pretty sure hoosier is designing a spec tire for next year thats runs $160 to 170

I had the same concern when I first heard about this class. I thought it should be non wing. Personally I have seen better nonwing races than wing. After thinking for a while I see things to consider. #1 Wings will be good for the 305's otherwise they will just look like slow underpowered non wings. #2 Everytime I am around general public they associate sprint car racing with being wing rather than non wing. I also notice many kids are into seeing wings sprints more than nonwing. This just happens to be what I observed. Others may totally disagree.
