Boyles? Sussex?

If it weren't for qualifying I know several who'd probably already have won. They race well, beat the big dogs at local shows but always end up starting in the back at USAC.

Not saying it's right or wrong, just they don't normally qualify much and they can't afford to wadd a car up trying. They have no backup. usually can't afford three sets of rear tires a night. (The reason I advocate qualifying against your heat only and letting finish dictate feature start position)

That being said, that was cool a couple years ago during sprint week with several first time winners.

At times it may be dominated by a few, But it's a exclusive club and probably the hardest to win in. I know guys who raced USAC for many many years and only got one or a couple or none at all wins.

Richie sometimes post the all time wins list and for 50+ years with probably a average 22 races a year. it's not a lot of different winners.
