Every club pays a purse based on what the promoter will pay!!!! If wing cars are getting payed more there must be more people paying to see that sh1t?

How many times do you see the top wing guys running on an off weekend or week night for $1200 to win and $50 to start???? NEVER

How many times do you see the top non-wing guys running every weekend for $1200 to win and $50 TO START!!! ALWAYS

So, maybe the moral of the story is supply and demand. I can see all the non-wing guys for $12 on F-S-Sun night. If I want to see "THE KING" I can only see him at an WOO show and that cost $35-50.

USAC,BMRA, or any other set of letters (clubs) are charging as much as they can get the promoter to pay. The guy that owns the track is NOT going to pay a big purse to get the same guys he had last week for 1/3 of the money. You experts figure the rest out, this is>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Its a matter of economics OSSUKS, there are non wingys all over looking for $1,200 to win. There are NO wingers around to run period. Everyone wanted to run non wingy because it so much cheaper, therefore you can have a race and plenty of cars show up to run. Come to Bloomington some Fri night and look at the equipment there runnig for $1,200 to win and $150 to start.

Im no expert or anything so i dont really know what causes bigger purses or anything but i will say that watching a non wing show no matter the cost is a much more thrilling than watching WoO or any other wing series for 30g and 50g a night. it takes more talent to run without a wing than it does with in my opinion.

i was told that USAC and MSCS could have joined to be one series but the promoter for USAC said that they have to qualify and MSCS said no? if thats the case then that is pretty sad. idc one way or the other about qualifying, and MSCS puts on just as good if not better show than USAC. i think MSCS draws just as good of talent as well. i really enjoy MSCS at any track. like i said this is all just my opinions on the matter.

I am so sorry to have to dissagree with you on the wing non wingy driver. There is NO non wingy driver that even comes close the talent of Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, Freddy Rahmer, Jac Haudenschild, I could just keep going on & on here.

Why do you think the men are running wings?:respect:

2ndly, QUALIFYING is as much of the game as anything else. To eliminate qualifying is cheating the drivers and teams as well as the fans. The only reason Helfrich (MSCS) don't want to qualify is because he thinks its tearing up his precious track and he don't want to have to mess with the score keeping.

I like the mscs format no qualifying and even better yet is the sprint bandit format they use at Oskaloosa that is the way it should be done.
