Re: Pavement sprints & midgets

I have a fans perspective and a midget owners opinion. As a fan the only reason that fans have went away from midget & sprint racing is car counts. There is only a select few teams that show up every week to usac races. Others pick and chose what they can afford. Usacs biggest support is here in Indiana. It needs to be helped here first and then spread out over the country. Also getting usac back on tv would be great, but there is not chance of it making it right now with the state that its in. Car counts need to rise. The only way to gain cars is to bring more competition into the chassis builders, having more than just beast and somehow bringing the cost of parts down. I know what it costs to build the chassis's and engines and its a whole lot less than what all teams are paying. Someone is making good money!!!! Also add rules to make it more of a driver sport than who has the most money. Car counts would be bigger if they didnt have to run against high dollar tony stewart teams etc with much bigger funding....just opinions, i support usac i hope i gets back to what it was.

This is just my opinion...

Tires- 1) Try to cut a deal with hoosier to get the racers a better price. 2) Dirt OR Pavement you are only allowed to change LR for stagger in a night. Tires stamped after qualifying and only LR can be changed. 3) I would also go to a smaller tires to make the racing more than just money and horsepower

Chassis- I do not claim to know alot about chassis differences..but it seems to me that the focus series has a good thing going if they would race more dirt stuff. I had a buddy of mine get into that and he got a combo car....well then USAC had the whole year last year with no dirt focus races in the midwest ..... ANYWAY...my opinion would be to just run the dirt cars on pavement....do away with pavement cars all together that way you would not have to have a spec frame and kill the local racers.

I think this would bring car counts up due to less of a tire bill and more people run dirt midgets and sprints than run pavement stuff locally. JMO
