Over the years, I've been critical of a number of things USAC has done, but I feel that lately they've been doing a lot of really good things. I know that there are a couple of 'fans' that probably will use this thread as just another bashing opportunity. That's OK, when ever I encounter someone who is a chronic complainer (on IOW or life in general) I give their opinions no consideration. So anyway, Thank you USAC! From adding a race to the schedule for Gas City, to bringing Sprintweek to an underserved part of the state, to a new dirt track at IMS, etc. I think you're doing a great job!

I agree I started going to USAC races a lot in 1982. The past couple of years have been the best I have seen. Not that it was bad before that.

I attended my first USAC sprint car event at Salem, IN in July 1967. Since then I’ve been fortunate to attend several hundred USAC races at tracks throughout the country. I can honestly say that I cannot ever remember events being run quicker and with more organization. Yes, there are races that are runaways, but for the most part the races are close and exciting with a lot of clean, close racing. Levi Jones, Kirk Spridgeon and the staff deserve a lot of credit, and so do the participants. USAC is listening to the racers and the fans, and the result is some great enjoyable racing.

I agree with the way things are run at the track,they are very efficient in getting the program moving and if you have ever been in the pit's there is a very special staff member who really makes it happen good job to all of them but especially Stacie 👍👍👍

THanks USAC Racers, Crew and fans.
No complaints here and anything I ever say is seeking ways of improving and getting more participation and fans.

I think the full houses of fans in Eastern Storm swing are a testamate to the product.

USAC IS THE BEST! I hope it continues to be that way. Just need enough quality cars at each race to run a consi, and all is good.
