Possibly an idea on what you are going to pay to Win and to Start? I know that you trying to figure it all out but with the season starting in less then a month it would be nice to know this so teams can think about you all in making their "schedule"...Thanks!

I see Plymouth Speedway in Plymouth Indiana for their special non wing shows pay $1500 to win and $200 to start. I saw and talked to Joe Gaerte there the other night and he thinks it will be good racing. And i know they are wanting to make it a Fun place to race!!

I stopped by 35 Raceway today to check it out and see if 410 non wing sprints will work well there. I must admit, it is definately wider and bigger than I thought it was. I had a 25' tape measure with me and we measured the track in several areas. The frontstretch is 61' wide at the flagstand, 63' wide at the exit of turn 4 and entrance of turn 1. The track is 77' wide at the apex of the corner from the guardrail to the inside implement tire.
The fencing is actual chain link, not farm fence. It is even doubled in a few areas! There are 6 steel cables running the length of the fence around the race track. I did not measure the height of the fence, but I've raced on over 50 tracks and it seemed taller than most. The top of the fence also arches in over the track a few feet and I've seen many tracks that do NOT have that feature.
There is no doubt that non wing sprint cars can race and put on a good show at 35 Raceway. These will not be BOSS tour races, but Tony will be using BOSS format and rules. Anyone who knows me knows that I will not race in my own BOSS events because it just doesn't look good, but I will have my car at 35 Raceway on nights he runs non wing sprints!
