I disagree with the statement that this is better for the racers. It might be better for the top 10 teams but the other 60 - 70 cars just got screwed. There was a chance for some lower teams to make a show and pocket $1k, but now their chances just got tremendously cut.

So let me see..... I got this backwards:

3/19 at Paragon sprints for $14K.
3/19 at Brownstown Lucas Oil Late Models for $15K.
3/26 at Brownstown sprints for $10K.

I am sorry if I confused anyone......
.... like myself.

Had me confused for a minute. I was gonna go to paragon for the show but with the dates switched, I'll be at Brownstown helping some friends with their car.

Most of them 60-70 cars won't get paid a grand at any show this year but get it to start just one of these. HOW'S THAT SCREWED?

I remember the no way outs to be well attended but non of em had near that count in fact several teams are just getting the final pieces of their cars together and many are not ready as their normal track seasons start in april or later

This is easily answered. A lot of teams are ready. They just don't go because it is a USAC teams show without the USAC officials. So instead of wasting resources on a race that they will not make, they keep their equipment parked.

Now there are two races. Scenario: 5 USAC teams go to one and 5 USAC teams go to the other. That leaves 15 spots open for other teams at each track. A total of 30.

So with it split to two dates the USAC teams go to each race and take 10 spots and leaves only 10 spots for other teams. That means that there are 10 lower teams that no longer have a chance.

This was not for the "RACERS"!!! This was for the almighty dollar. Now "ALL" of the top teams
will be attracted so "ALL" of the fans will go to both and maximum $$$$$ is made!

There are a lot of changes made to "Help the Racer" and all it does is cost them more money!

is there really 10 usac teams anymore, I still think it's a win for both fans and racers, going head to head with the ice breaker will not be a problem, brownstown will have their late model fans ,and sprint fans will be at paragon,
