The lure to USAC sprints is they are an oddity, they have the most loyal following ( almost colt like) , the races are great, there is a little smoke and mirrors with the illusion they have a big car owner colony. The truth is they rely on locals to fill the back half of the field. One question is do they still pay the "locals / non-members" less than the members? Time will tell on car counts, I was a little surprised at the count at Bloomington with there really being no competition for cars this early in the season! Saturday night Putnumville had over 30, and Lawrenceburg had over 20, meaning there were 50+ cars running ? Why more did not attend a small track like Bloomington is a mystery to me?
29 ran Boss at Atomic, Some of it is RULES like the four corner hoosier rule. teathers, seat requirement etc. While I do understand the safety aspect. Mandating parts or tires sucks.

Im more worried about cars going winged or econo racing and thinning the herd.
A Non winged 305 racesaver made the feature and almost cracked the top ten in the BOSS Race at Atomic. That same car ran Racesaver at Bloomington on Fri.
