Re: Silver Crown Owners
My name is Ken Bayliss and I'm the owner of the Ontario Topless Sprints. I'm also so far the only Canadian dealer/distributor for TJ Racing Oils from IN. It's my dream to someday have my own Champ Car team so I strongly desire to see this sport survive. If the Silver Crown team owners would like to get together for an owner's meeting in one of the conference rooms at the PRI show in Dec., TJ Racing Oils owner will order a room booked to hold a meeting in at the show. This is free. I'm sure Skype and conference calling abilities can be had for owners unable to make the show the day the meeting is on. If there's enough interest by owners getting together to brainstorm ideas to present to USAC for positive future changes down the road please let me know. Conference/meeting rooms are booked through PRI management on a first come first served basis so the sooner a room could be booked the better. The show is 3 months from now which should give everyone enough time to consider some positive ideas to build the meetings itinerary on. At the end of the meeting it's possible a list of requests and demands be given to USAC from the owners collectively:31: for the purpose of the improvement of the sport for all concerned. If you'd like to contact me about this possibility please email me at Ken@ontariotoplesssprints.com, PM me or please feel free to call me at 289-282-1007. I'm not an owner yet but have started to compile parts for my engine. I'm not interested in stepping on toes, displacing anyone or upsetting anyone, I merely want to see the sport saved and grow. Thank you, I'm at your service SC.

Must be USAC's fault. Maybe short track dirt racing doesn't get the ratings or the sponsorship to be on TV these days. The days of the ESPN TV Thunder shows are over, now is now. If they had ratings they would be on TV. :deadhorse: |
Re: Silver Crown Owners
Could post #93 be the start of an overhaul for the Silver Crown series? I guess only time will tell but for the owners of the cars that are parked, this is at least an attempt to start the discussion needed to put cars back on the track. If they decide not to, I don't know what else they could be waiting for.

Well...between powerI midgets ascs sprints and local Indiana sprints they've been on TV on a weekly basis this year. But no USAC. Explain that. USAC hired this marketing expert to run things yet weekly races from putnamville are on national TV but not a single USAC race? It's not the only reason for the decline. Escalating costs play a big role also. I also know for a fact that many fans prefer the classic body styles of the past and really liked it back in the 90's when a bunch of teams ran them. It was those god aweful pavement cars that started all this so that proves looks do matter. I've been on both sides of the fence and believe me most owners could care less what fans think. As far as getting owners back...I'm all for the idea of USAC contacting them and trying to schmooze them back, but not just the rich ones, the fillers should have just as much say or more. They should discuss any major series rule changes BEFORE imposing them.

Re: Silver Crown Owners
The reason silver crown cars would work on TV is they don't spin out every other lap like some shows have in the past.
Think back to when you did see USAC sprints and some Silver Crown cars on TV(ESPN), what made it happen? |
Re: Silver Crown Owners
MAV is on DirectTV and I think Charter, not on Uverse though
