I attended the last 2 (& only) USAC races at Lincoln.
In 2010, I was stunned at how well the locals did.

Re: The Improving USAC Silver Crown Car Count

What's the format change ? Red flag pit stop at 50 laps ?

Alway's wondered how a Sprint format would play on the 1/2 miles.
10 lap heats, then a 40 lap feature.
