If someone wants a low cost nonwing series just replicate the Wisconsin Wingless model.
Average of 38 to 40 cars per show with no dominate driver or team.

First of all thank you for sharing my link here. I should have done that myself honestly.
I have had a few interested parties contact me to discuss the series. I am hopeful that I can find the right person or group to take this series further and continue to make it successful.
Regarding non-wing racing. The Racesavers offer wing racing in a state where non-wing is dominate. I do not see it as a benefit for the series to take the wings off. Especially considering the Steel Block Series is a perfect non-wing option for our engines. I think if you want to go the cost saving route for non-wing sprints people ought to look into the Steel Block series and try to help grow that concept as it is doing well already.
If anybody here wants to make a go at being a race promoter shoot me an email. I know there are a lot of people who post on this site that sure sound like they know best haha!
Oh and if you think our series is follow the leader then you clearly did not see our last race at Kokomo last year. Slide job city for the lead with 3 wide racing through the field!
The bigger tracks can get spread out though, but honestly the non-wing cars have their fair share of snooze fest races as well. They can't all be zingers! 😀
My official opinion is an occasional less than exciting race is still better than no race, so why complain.
