that's what I'm saying. EVERYONE either needs to run a wing, or EVERYONE needs to not run a wing.
Optional needs to go away.
You don't think we could get some of those guys if we all took the wings off?

Mixing the two, winged and non, doesn't seem to be working. I agree that they are two very different styles. Both are now going fast enough to apear to be developing a safety problem. If there is enough interest in going wingless maybe a wingless event should be tried. The original class began as a winged class and trying to keep up car count the wingless preferenced cars were allowed to run. However, now running them together may lead to the death of both classes. I vote wings only!

we cant change the rules in three races or how ever many there has been there are guys that have cars that are strickly wingless cars this is a saftey problem only when they try to race with them. the cause of arnies car being destroyed is that the guy should have lifted and let them pass instead of staying in it and drifting up we need let him know that if he cant control his car put a wing on or he cant race with us this is a problem with one individual not all wingless cars tony took second with his and didnt wreck anyone. just my opinionthanks,mike.w

I agree with Mike we cannot change rules in the middle of the season, he had this discussion before and Rattlesnake board members and officers decided it would not happen this year. Just my opinion. Stacy W. Treasurer

We have 1 wingless car that the driver seems to have a handle on , and that is because he has a Knowledge of both winged and wingless and has competed numerous times in BOTH Classes.
As for other wingless car drivers, if they have not had enough seat time, they should definately run in the winged class. I am sure that they will learn the wingless in time, but NOT at the expense of us in the winged class. As for Votes......................Yea for the Wing, Nay for the wingless

It is nice to see more than 3 to 4 cars racing in the sprint car class, even if some have wings and some don't. After the races I over heard a couple of sprint car drivers discussing this debate between wings and non-wings, if you take away the non-winged cars out of the "Series" you will be back to the same issue that you were last year with just 3 or 4 cars racing. It is not right to try th change the rules in the middle of the season to benefit either class of cars. If safety is what you are worried about do you realize that you are racing the most dangerous dirt race car out there? THE RULES ARE THE RULES CHANGE THEM IN THE OFF SEASON. DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON.

ok, I' m going to get off track for a minite. Mike, you are wrong about the non wing car causing Arnies crash! watch the video on face book taken from the stands and you clearly see Arnie come down then flip. WATCH THE FILM!
Second, you all know I love non wing. it has been making it interesting to say the least. (watch our you tube video in car) but, I have to vote wings!
Tony is a great driver, and his car is working better but, esteticly it should be all the same.
I now have to agree that if you want to learn to drive a sprint, start winged, it gives you something to lean on.
any way, Mike I hope to see you out there soon, (sorry to hear of the cam) I think Teeters is doing well also, holding his own.
what ever you guys decide, lets get everyone out there with their sprints.
you can find the video of Arnies crash at Arron Gustesons face book page. good luck to all, see you soon. Wayne Walsh #4 sprint
P.S. the board and officers of fallon dont make the sprint rules, the owners and drivers vote on them. N.S.C.S. and give any changes to the board for posting.

One more thing: Tony wheel hops Wayne flips, Rusty wheel hops Wayne flips, Arnie wheel hops Aaron flips causes big debate, think about it.

Wing car wheel hops winged car flisp, wing car wheel hops wing cars flips, nothing said about it, wing car wheel hops non-winged car causes bug debated, did you get it? the end result in all these result in flips doesn't matter if you have a wing or not. When you wheel hop another cars in the a sprint more than likely you are going to flip. Thats sprint car racing. Even the Big Boys Do It!

Oh I get what your saying now...... For your info it's not just because a winged car flipped while involved witha non wing. IT'S ABOUT RACING WITH WING AND NON WINGED! IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERANT ANIMAL. IT MAKES IT TOUCHY FOR THE DRIVERS OF WING CARS.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO RUN THIS CAR NON WING, TOO GOOD OF CAR TO TAKE THAT KIND OF CHANCE. DANG......I JUST SOLD ALL OF MY NON WINGED CARS.
AND YES THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING, WILD TYPE OF DIRT RACING THERE IS. WE ALMOST FLIPPED IN THE MAIN.
