On the midget side, I'd like to see a 3-5 race swing through WI where POWERi and Badger teams would want to attend. That would take some work and some changes it seems. Hate to see another 16 car field.

USAC can't be a National series that crisscrosses the US all season unless they pay more in purse and pay tow money. Not saying they should or shouldn't, just saying that's a fact. You can't expect teams to do a ton of traveling in this economy without some help. That's why people are throwing out ideas mostly around IN.

Kevin,

Great points. Just to add to this, most states do not run non wing sprints. With that being said, what kind of fields would USAC bring to the speedway if the "national" schedule would be run? Most states wouldn't have a lot of locals to help fill the field. That is why the majority of USAC National Sprint Car dates are in and around Indiana.

Be nice to people on the way up. You might need them on the way down. Jimmy Durante
