Remember, in USAC' s glory days of Foyt, Branson, Rutherford, etc., they only started eighteen cars.

Yep and they also had at least one Consi race and 40+ cars entered. There were 15 total cars yesterday, 13 took time and 5 or 6 running at the finish. Not exactly a very fair comparison to the "glory days" is it?
