Jerry you are spot on. In my opinion there is nothing in racing more prestigious than the title of a USAC Champion. However, the year end payout to these teams and drivers is a very poor return on their investment. USAC is a multi million dollar enterprise and the officials are VERY well compensated. It is time to start rewarding the teams that haul up and down the road, and the drivers that hang out their ba!!s on a weekly basis with a competitive prize fund! USAC sprint cars are the best show in racing , yet many drivers use it as a stepping stone to pursue a career in a more lucrative series due to this financial risk vs. reward. USAC has had MANY drivers come through the ranks only to move on to a different series or sanctioning body. I don't believe that these "defections" are due to a bigger or better series, simply a more logical way for them to earn a living. It is time for USAC to start retaining the talent they have and show them how much they are appreciated with a bigger year end payout.
