The New Generation Silver Crown Car
 

Or whatever they were calling it...

Is that deal dead?

Wasn't something supposed to be going on by now, I thought they were going to run on tracks up to 1.5 mile...

Any news

I think it is dead to USAC, but Ashmore Designs is still trying to get people interested and a new series off the ground based around their reworked new 'new silver crown' concept. Their website has a bunch of information about their ideas on it. The latest thing appears that they have done some demonstration laps at Toledo.

I think USAC wisely is steering clear of this one. They have enough problems generating interest in their Silver Crown division as it is. Adding in a new Gold Crown division, or replacing the current Silver Crown car with this one would probably be out of the question economically....

By the way, their old press releases state that they will run a 10 race series in 2011, (half paved ovals, half paved road courses) but currently there is nothing on their website that indicates this is going forward. Looks to be a concept looking for buyers.

They had booth space at IMIS-Indy last year. Maybe they'll be back this year.

Things are moving forward I think bruce has some things underway but with a project like this you need all your ducks in a row and when this all comes about it needs to be done right. The new design has been vey popular with most people as a matter of fact I have not had anyone say anything bad about the new design.

The fans haven't seen it run yet, that's when you'll find out weather it works or not.
