D2 Midgets and Wings?

Seriously folks, I'm just trying to counter this garbage, usually from the same people, with facts.

Trust me, i know it's tiresome. But when i mention the fact that one track (spoon river) has already bumped up the D2 purse after just one year, good things are happening here. Yet just a few posts later someone says how bad D2's reputation is?????

Can't fathom why some promoters blame social media for the downfall of their operations.

OK.. With all that being said.. What would be wrong with the current D2 engine rules (auto) and the current lighting sprint rules (moto) being joined for both winged and non winged?

Winged could be marketed as lightning sprints.. Wingless could be thunder midgets.

No confusion.. More cars.. More choices, less cookie cutter.. Easy for everyone to understand..

I hate to keep bashing on the wing fans, but putting a wing on anything with less than 8 cylinders is absurd, especially on a D2 car. Might as well drive around with your foot on the brake, you don't have the HP to push it thru the wind.
I don't understand why you need the help of a wing to get around the track on a micro, lightning, D2 ect.

Every D2 post here seems to turn out like this.
