"Competition" The bunch with the best plan wins! That is the American way. Right now USAC need's to get a better plan and I think they are trying, But you got a bunch of old guys doing it the way we have done it for the last forty years, they need some young blood and think outside the box a little. May-be they need to do it like they did fifty years ago, that would be a new way to a young guy. Ken Brown is a good example of that with the Poweri series. He has some heavy hitters there but mostly he has regional guys wanting to race and have a chance at winning. The more rules you have to make things cheeper the more the big guys can take advantage of those rules. Plenty of time on the dyno can beat that old rev limiter, Plenty of dyno time can beat that old restrictor plate. Rules just make racing more expensive. We got snake oil for tires at $100.00 a gallon. It just keeps going.
It's hard to beat money in racing, If all you have to do is go by the best parts and the best people and go win. Back in "the good old days" LOL a guy could every once in a while out think the rich guys and win. Rich people have the money to race because they were smart in their business deals and made large fortunes. They then get into racing and turn their large fortunes into small fortunes trying to out buy the other guy, something they would never do with their real business. You can't get rid of these guy's in fact most of them are good people and you want to race with them anyhow, It's just they have money to spend and I don't blame them for spending it. The car count's say we are running out of these people and need some little guy's back in the mix, don't rule-book them out.
