I’m guessing neither of you watched the documentary about dirt racing where he said racing without a wing isn’t worth it??? Then Sweet comes on and says the same thing. Please don’t turn this thread into another how great Larson is thread. Please.

Back when Smoke still had a non wing team, USAC raced Terre Haute and had a low car count. Smoke said get the backup out. I'll race it.
Afterwards he said it's the stupidest thing he's ever done. I took it as he meant it. That to do it. You gotta be committed to it and now that he was beyond that (Nascar, Winged racing at that time) It was just not worth the risk. Nevermind that Larson, Smoke, Sweet, Newman, Briscoe, Gordon etc honed their skill non winged for several years before getting the backing to move on. Not just on half miles. But Miles. Nascar's been full of USAC Champions for decades now. Shame Indycar can't figure it out.
