An interesting Silver Crown retro watch from 2006 at Kentucky Speedway. Days gone past, thank God.

~45 minutes in length.

My independent research shows that the top 3 Usac divisions do not run for enough money. So I in turn will “give him a chance” to prove me wrong.

Well I'd say his resume is better than about anyone in USAC. At least this time you might have done some research. With that being said i'm not sure if they care if you or me or anyone else is willing to "give him a chance". They went out and hired the best man they could find and thats that

Ok if you say so. The subject is dropped as you have spoken. I hope this overqualified hire is the best thing to happen at Usac in decades.

USAC needs someone who can be on the phones six days a week, pay teams and tracks a visit now and then. invite em to USAC functions etc. and just shows they care about them and it

You throw the revolutionized merch in Nascar. That's all great and it was a different time also when you had the Intmidator vs Wonder Kid. As recently as 2020 Larson said he made more on Merch at a PA sprintweek race than he did the whole season in Nascar. Someone's getting the $$$ in Nascar. It's not the drivers. (Probably depends on the teams contract with em)

As far as tracks, There's a lot to work on. Milwaukee, Dover if you could work it with a Nascar weekend. Volusia? Vegas

As far as the two dirt miles. I think daytime hurts it. A fairground don't get hoppin till about 5pm anyway. and yes, A CONCERT with any decent name is going to draw more.

We'll see, Ive come to like the Silvercrown a lot more than I used too.

Good Luck Don.

I cannot find it on the internet anywhere but I remember vividly when he was on Wind Tunnel and being interviewed by Dave Despain. The crescendo that nearly brought Dave to tears as he was chuckling was when Gene declared that the IRL needed more American drivers - like Paul Tracy.

I've attended the Horn Memorial prior to lights being installed and every race held under the lights as well as the past couple of years when the race was pre-empted by rap artists and held during the afternoon. The difference in attendance numbers is negligible, at best. In reference to the Bettenhausen Memorial we, of course, have no night race to compare it to.
