3 tracks ran 360s in Alaska last year if it helps you, about 30 guys. Average of 30 teams x 50 states = 1500. I know it is hard for you to count past 10 with your shoes on but give me a break. Emmitt Hahn is way closer than you with 1500.
I guessed 2000 limited sprints altogether: 360s, 358s and 305s. I also still stand by the statement sprint car racing would be a lot healthier with 2000 unlimited sprints instead of 400 410s and 1500 360s.

Not even close. There must be 1,000 polar bears in Alaska. 1000 x 50 states= 50,000 polar bears in the USA. How many live in your neighborhood?
The obvious reason you you have to resort to inept *proof* like above is that you can't find anything other than your own opinion to back up what you say. Hint: your opinion is your opinion. It's not truth just because you say it.
Before you said "1500 360 teams" now you're changing your tune and saying it's 360, 358s and 305s altogether. It appears that even you are having doubts believing number. If you don't believe in what you're telling yourself, how could anyone else?

In Summary: He came out late to the starting grid (claimed the speakers in the pits were not working). He was put to the rear and stopped on the front stretch to protest and argued with the officials and was towed to the pits. Later got into a pissing contest on twitter with Susquehanna's General Manager.......

The speakers weren't working. They hardly ever do in the back pits. But you can hear from the other speakers around the track. Also an official comes around on a quad to let teams know that stage time is close. I'm not sure what happened in that deal. I wasn't there. But tracks make penalties for drivers reporting late to stage because they want to keep the show rolling. So they penalize the 48 and then proceed to take forever to get the show rolling because they don't have enough push trucks. And the people driving the push trucks suck. And then they run their next 410 show and proceed to take forever to run to time trials because...yep you guessed it...not enough push trucks. And shitty organization. Time trial shows up there are laughable. They even fucked up our LM time trials a few times and the things have a starter. Unfortunately for year 1 all of the changes have been cosmetic. Pits tours, popcorn and fresh paint are all cool, but the core problems for the race teams still exist. At least they did last year. I guess we will see on Sunday...

I have the fix for all the spec, common, borring, watered down, cookie cutter, cheap division lovers out there. About 10,000,000 spineless souls living in the USA have bought Toytota Camrys. If a track or sanctioning body makes a class for bone stock Camrys, we can sit around and rave about how there are literally millions of cars in their division!

Get your story straight already...lol. I said 2000 360s, 358s and 305s. Not 1500. Or 2000 unlimited sprints once they did away with the 410s and 360s and combined them. Emmitt Hahn has always said there is around 1500 different ASCS 360s cars around. Add in non-ASCS stuff: Cali 360s, Florida, PA 358s, 305s, IMCA sprints. Easily 2000 even if some of them replaced ASCS over the past 10 years. You're off if you don't think there is an average of 40 sprint cars in each state. 40x50 states=2000. Some states like Hawaii might not have any now (they used to) but others have hundreds.

As Yoda would say, prove it you cannot.
All you have is bluster, a a proor head for math and logic.
How many 360 sprints in Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Delaware, Connecticut?

Good job. Sounds like you're coming around a little bit. You are not gagging on them anymore, just kissing their ass.
It's pretty simple. There are currently 400 410 teams and 1500 360 teams. Sprint car racing would be a lot healthier with 2000 unlimited teams.
|
Here's what you said. It couldn't be any clearer. There is no mention of 305's. If you don't believe me, ask yourself. You wrote it.

Maybe you could provide us with that list of the 1500 ASCS cars to prove you're not just pulling numbers from air.

Not taking sides in this argument (at all!), but believe it or not, there are sprint cars in New England!
360s. I think the rules stipulate used engines & maybe even tires....

Just checked... I'm wrong, no rules about used engines or tires, but I think thats the standard practice
Steel blocks by rule. 360s. And a rule I never heard of before, "Claimer" rule on shocks
Plus points leader always starts in back, just like the good ole days I've mentioned before

We already moved on from the Emmitt Hahn 1500 number a week ago because you didn't like his Knoxville Hall of Fame induction because it was 10 years old.
I'm more in agreement with the 2000 number (all limited sprints) you have been quoting in your posts the last couple of days. I agree that 305s/IMCA sprints have been growing more than 360s.
It sure would be nice if there were no engine rules at all like SOD, and all the them were just sprint cars again.

I'm glad to see that you are willing to admit that you can't find any real numbers to prove that you aren't just pulling things out air. You can't agree with me about the 2000 number because that's your number. You already agree with yourself, even though you keep doubting yourself. Play the word games all you want. You can't prove your numbers and you can't change what you've posted.
You're so afraid that people will see right through you; that you are a fake, a phony, that you don't know much of which you speak. It's too late. People already get it. You have to keep this charade up, hoping that you can somehow impress people to improve your self-esteem. I bet this happens to alot of kids in your high school.
If the SOD engine rule is so awesome, why do they only get 20-25 cars aweek?

Lol. So you tell us then how many limited sprints there are in America then genius.
Only stipulation is they have to be full size sprint cars with wings on dirt. 360, 358, & 305/IMCA.
Give us your number if Emmitt Hahn is so far off.

How about the original intent of the thread? Have any ideas on how to encourage any of those limited sprint teams to move up?

Yes there are sprint cars in New England, about 25 total. For a 6 state area, that comes out to 4.2 cars per state. So to use cubics principle of "if one state has 30 cars, 50 states have 1500 cars" can we apply the principal that if 1 state has 4.2 cars then 50 states have 210 cars? Or even better, Rhode island has 0 sprint cars, therefore sprint cars do not exist.
Don't take me too seriously I am just playing the "flawed logic" game.

Last summer I attended the IMCA RACESAVER 305 Nationals at Eagle Raceway, Nebraska. There were 119 teams there. Including 8 teams from the PA and NJ groups.
It has amazed me that something that was started by French Grimes in Virginia in the late 90's has now become a national series.
At Eagle, the RACESAVER 305's are the main attraction. Not a support division.

ESS, Patriot, CRSA and Sprint Cars of New England all have a following.
No 410s. A lot of limited sprints. Same story all over the country.
