Word was that Toyota has been trying to "convince - strong arm - demand" (what ever you call it) USAC into making some type of RPM rule for this year. Presumably so they could be competative against the Esslingers.
OR ELSE !!! Well maybe this is the OR ELSE!!
Sounds like they (Toyota) are taking their toys and going home !!! Say what you want about engine costs (Insert Don Moore here) I'm not so sure Toyota leaving is a bad thing for USAC and midget racing in general. The highest priced motor, or so I'm told, used by only a few teams. Time will tell, but it doesn't sound all bad.
