To All interested
There is a meeting on 21 Oct in Doe Run after the mini stock meeting to discuss this. Yes 305 sprints. Bobby has a set of the 2006 Midwest Limited Sprint Cars Rules which are a guideline, but nothing has been decided. Alot of interest though. If you want to see what the rules look like go to Midway in Lebanon, or LaMonte or Warrensburg Speedways to view the rules. If you are interested, show up at the meeting.

Those are not sprint cars. Sprint cars do not have carburators or starters. May as well run a modified class. I would suggest the Racesaver 305 rules that the Virginia Sprint Series uses. Just my opinion. www.racesaver.com

I think it is a great idea!!
I have reservations as to whether they can make enough power to justify running a wing. It looks like the wingless would be faster, on the low horsepower end.. The head restriction will probably keep you under 420 horse. The low speeds of the track due to size, and turn radius will probably negate the use of the wing. Not to mention the carnage on shorttracks these days, I see a few wings wrinkled. Who knows I may be wrong. In either case I think they will be a blast to watch, and a good stepping stone for those on the verge of moving up, but lacking in the funds dept.. Sounds like all of us dont it!!!

Jason BrewingtonI think wingless is a great idea! It will also keep the cost down too! But i still dont if the track will be big enough or not, it would make for some tough passing! but i still think 305 sprints would be a good idea!! I want to hear bobbys take on this though cause his track and there is no reason for talkin about it if he doesnt like the idea!!
305's are great
They make plenty of power to justify a wing. However, I think wingless is the ticket. Riverside Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas has a wingless 305 class and they put on a great show. It's not too horrible of a drive to get there, maybe Mr. Johnson should go check them out. They run Saturday nights up into November. www.riversideinternationalspeedway.com

How about crate 350 sprints or a 360 max with strick rules? There are more 350's out there and rods and other parts are cheaper. JMO. Carb & Starter and no-wing sounds good for a low price sprint. Again JMO. IMCA Tires
Marty Boyer
I dont know marty around here the 350 is the wanted motor espically a 4 bolt main or casting # that end in 10 most people will give a 305 away.. I had one in a camaro that would scream (for a 305) and most parts are interchanable so they are as cheap as a 350 been a while is it the stroke and bore of a 305 smaller or just the bore... harris could answer that one
