You've obviously never been to Putnamville They have no plans to have regular winged racing as a headline. They get good if not great weekly show fans and near sellout sprint weeks. It's good for them because it doesn't effect their normal schedule in any way. I've been to a disaster of a Huge Wing Show at LPS. It was a weeknight, fan count wasn't great and they ruined the track ending at three am. Dave Blaney pulled out before it even started. But that was DA so I'll leave that as a one off.

I'd love to give a photographer 20 bucks to take a pic of the hillside at both Sprint Week and this Winged show. I think Sprint Week will win. Remember Sweet said he wasn't racing it and I don't know that any of the WoO points racers will. So that makes it Larson Vs some MOWA and ALL STARS. possibly a couple MI drivers.

Im talking this year. The Million weekend LM's were not sellouts, Dream and Million Nights more than the qualifiers but there were whole areas of empty seats. Economy is my guess. Do I hope it's a sellout yes, I doubt it will be.. I attended all the KRs and HBO's from 89-01 It was packed then, maybe way out in four or two were there some empty seats. Im not the only one no longer going to these shows. I know half a dozen who no longer go out to Knoxville because it became more about the $$ than the Event prestige. Can't wait till the green flag is sponsored by Simple Green and the Black flag is sponsored by Rhino shield.

Higher speeds = better racing is the biggest fallacy in racing. That is absolutely not true. More side by side racing = better racing and that just doesnt happen as often in winged racing.
