The T-Bowl website makes it appear that the Thursday night show is for non-wing 360s only. Is that the case, or are the 360 wing cars running as well? The latter idea seems to justify the $25/$30 price of admission. The former leaves me wondering about $25 or $30 for a no-sanction / no points (USAC WC 360 in this case) show that doesn't include wings on a workday evening. (Just wonderin.)

I am not Steve, but the 30 lap main that sets the inverted line up for a 50 lap main, not to mention heat races, c main, b main, and 2 non qualifiers races, seems to be a lot of laps for that kind of money.
But to answer your question it is only non wing.
Thanks

Also there are 49 cars currently entered, about double the average for this division, plus the purse is $21,000.

I think that is a very good price for all the racing we are gonna get . But then again I'm used to 8 dollar parking and 25 dollar general admission at my home track . So I'll see you at the CUP. Glad to see Mitchell on the roster for the non wing show . He took a hard hit back in Indiana and has been sidelined for a while . Good luck MATT.
We need more sprint car racing at our home track.

How would a USAC sanction make it more worth the price? I'd rather see the money go to the drivers and Make a Wish than a parasite like USAC. The format alone makes it worth the price and to me the Trophy Cup is like gas now a days: I don't even look at the price.

Interesting (to me, anyway) that if almost 50 cars are entered and the purse is $21K, that more noise isn't being made about that. I'll happily drive 280 miles round trip on Thursday for a show like that. But if I'd not learned that, I would have stayed home.

13 of the top 15 in USAC West Coast points are entered.
Add drivers such as Brent Kaeding, Shane Golobic, Kyle Hirst, Peter Murphy, Cory Kruseman, Daron Clayton, etc. and it becomes a must see event.

The Thursday show is party night. Everyone sets up their camp spot, hangs out with friends and talk sprint car racing. The nonwing show will be good too.
