I figure Flo is bankrolling the High Limit shows to some extent. They could help out if they wanted. In any case, I will still go to non wing shows, they are often better racing, and I’ll go to wing shows too.
FLO is a minority owner of the High Limit Series. 50% of Streaming income goes into the High Limit purse.

Been two other drivers carry the HAR banner as well. KTJ and Chad Boespflug.
USAC will continue to be a viable series and will continue to attract drivers. I would suspect that as some, like Bacon, try the wings (again), others who haven’t found winged success will move back. Additionally, there are young drivers moving up from the mini-sprint and tq ranks who can’t jump into the wings who will go traditional sprint racing, and even if that’s not specifically to USAC many do run several USAC races.
