Rightly so. Additionally, SIlver Crown is trade marked I believe, so they would have to advertise the event as "big cars" or similar without using the words "Silver Crown".... Going back to when the PRA tried to start it's own series they struggled to find an identity being unable to call the cars Silver crown.
Completely understand this aspect, I'm sure USAC would be less than thrilled with someone running cars that are only associated with their series in a non-sanctioned event.
To me its just sad that there are so many cars out there that only get to go racing on a dirt side 5-6 times a season. Same concept with pavement, maybe not quite as many cars as on the dirt side, but there are cars out there just sitting for much of the year.
What would happen if a track with no USAC ties tried it?
