Several points. (1) there was an apparent miscommunication at some point - if you go on USAC racing right now, search news and look for info on the midget weekend it says hot laps 6:30. (2) As for being ho hum and drug out - that is simply inaccurate. That is a point one could have made about USAC several years ago - since then when there are not complications they run as crisp a program you want. They blow a warning horn and stick to it - and things roll. Tell me where on Friday or Saturday USAC drug out the show to make up for the car count. Once hot laps started there was 1 ten minute intermission. USAC wasn't responsible for the lack of a real support class, so in the end what time did the checkered flag fly for the final time each night? On top of that not a single car got upside down in two nights. (3) As for POWRi it is a very solid group - but their leadership will also tell you that they have trouble when they get out of sight of the Gateway arch - and there is nothing wrong with that. Yet, who was last year's champion? Who won 12 of their features last year -- and where were they -- Ocala. We can discuss the model all we want - but these are the top teams in the game. Sure, everybody would have enjoyed a few more cars. (4) As for the wing vs non-wing thing - I like racing.
