I have ran both wing and non-wing micros and just like sprint cars, it's all personal preference. I prefer the winged 600 micros, yet I like traditional non-wing sprint cars over winged. Non-wing micros seem to be growing in popularity nationally, most likely due to increasing engine costs.
As far as the POWRi series, I believe it is benfecial to have them winged. It makes each class have their own identity. The winged 600 micros are a little faster than non-wing and the numbers are easier to read on some of the larger tracks.
The Miami County Fair race is also quickly approaching (Tuesday, June 24) and I believe there will be 10-12 USAC drivers challenging the locals in 600 non-wing micros. It was a great event last year.
600 micros (both wing and non-wing) are great racecars, and quite capable of putting on a show just as good as any national series.
Of course, this is all just my opinion...

Unless I am badly mistaken, micros are 2-smokes! Bob

All personal preference.
I personally love non wing micro's on a 1/8 to 1/5 mile tracks they are a great show. Just like sprint cars, you take the wing off and it takes the horsepower out of the equitation. Yes you need horsepower, just not the locked down on kill the wing takes
We've got a micro, a midget and a sprint car. For fun Peter loves driving the micro. Oh I guess he loves driving all the others too
Great question
