Not a driver, just a fan. I've made it to CCS a number of times for the last two seasons and plan to keep attending it. While I prefer non wing, I really enjoyed the MOWA/MSCS double header race at Haubstadt this year. I would definately attend something like that CCS. If you ran winged sprints every week, I don't know if I would attend as much.

I prefer non-winged, but if all sprint cars had wings (and I'm glad they don't), I'd still be a fan.

I'll go out on a limb (a mighty skinny, shaky one) and say that
your current non wing purse will draw fewer weekly wing sprint regulars than it does non wingers. It seems like it takes a purse with about $2,000 to win to draw 20 - 25 winged sprints in your area. The sad fact is that Illinois and Missouri conventional sprint racers will run for peanuts just to race sideways. I may be wrong, I usually am! |

NW 100 percent.
Indiana went winged for a little over ten years at many tracks and a former racer/pro motor/race director told me it would go back NW within a decade. He was right and his reasons were right. $$$$$$$$$$$

That is right, it would take at least 2,000 to win and 250 to start to get any Winged cars. It does cost more to run with a Wing! I would run some Winged stuff in 2014, but the added expense may hold us up on that.

I would like to see a couple wing open shows there and i would try to run them but if you ran wings weekly insted of non wing your weekly supporters would be gone just my opinion but a open wing show gives guys like me a chance to bolt a wing on an do somthing diffrent

all depends on whether you enjoy racing or parades?

the box" and continue to build your fan base and draw new racers. Testing the waters with with a monthly winged sprint show would be a hit with fans. I would expect it to draw many of the non wing regulars and a some new cars. Win, Win. |
