I would first like to say that the Outlaw Sprint Warriors (OSW) where put together to keep sprint car racing cost down and address a lot of the concerns that owners/racers had at the time with another "limited" class and the rising cost to maintain and run that class.  The OSW rules allow for owners to buy used 410 parts for the most part.  It takes out some of the higher priced chassis parts.  The people that put the rules together spent a great deal of time and effort to determine what would keep the class affordable.  It allows more hands on engine work, than any other limited class.  That was done to allow those capable of doing engine work to do it themselves to keep engine costs down.  It's disheartening to sit here and listen to people complain and tear apart what should and could be the largest sprint car class in the area.  It was meant to help feed our very popular 410 class and from what I have seen that has happened with several drivers moving up. 

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I am proud of the work people put in and the resulting class that was created.  With everybody on this post using "unreal names" it can't be determined who is talking.  If you are complaining and are a car owner there is a protest procedure.  If you are positive someone is cheating make them pay.  The class can only be as good as the owners running it.  If OSW owners allow other cheaters to continue to run you are only ruining your own division.  The protest procedures say one owner must come forward and protest it doesn't say that 2 or 3 owners (or fans) can't share in the cost of the protest.  Police your own ranks and make the division stronger.

As far as the suggestions of more engines I feel that doesn't even make sense.  The division already has 2 engines and they have allowed 3rd carburated motor to compete.  OSW is a great product they just need to market and manage the division correctly.  My opinion is that doesn't mean adding more rules and engine options to make it harder to tech/inspect.  I don't follow every "limited" division in our area, but it seems to me that the OSW car count can stand right up there with any local division running.  So if you are a owner and have concerns help police your own ranks and support a Great Sprint Division !!
