Looks like it will be a great car count for 2015 .

Not all rides are both dirt, and pavement. We can't expect that count at every venue.
On the other hand, more teams than in a number of years.
I'm ready for Silver Crown racing to get started.
Hell, I'm ready for any open wheel racing to get started!

I agree on that redracer, but I think we are all in for an awesome season. I would almost bet on 25-30+ at every dirt race this season. Lots of good cars and drivers coming!

Does Bryan Tyler have a ride for '15?

Re: USAC Silver Crown 2015
 

Looks like Brian Tyler is driving Jr. Kurtz' new Plastic Express. This will be a joy to watch. Jr's car will look like a Champ Dirt car should, and with Brian in the saddle, it will run up front.

Is it for sure that Junior Kurtz will field a Silver Crown car this season?

I'd consider 25-30 cars at Belleville a monumental success! I'm not sure I'll make it to 4 events like I did last year, but I'm certainly looking forward to the season. Belleville is a certainty, as is the Hoosier Hundred, plus I'm planning to make my first trip to the Ted Horn 100. Can't wait!

Hey Bob, glad to hear you're thinkin' about coming over for the Horn Memorial. I've already told Becky to pencil you in for a reserve seat on our old Sea Ray for a scenic sunset cruise on Rend Lake over Labor Day weekend. LOL!!

Of course you'll probably need to head East early Friday so as we can hook up at Granite City to take in the USAC National Midget shows Friday & Saturday night at Tri-City.

I might as well make the trip worthwhile, right? Definitely pencil me in.:8:

I have to say the two races I attended last year were worth every freakin penny! I have to see them on dirt this year.

Re: USAC Silver Crown 2015
 

It's going to be hard to judge car counts. At the Hoosier Hundred last year there was something like 25-30 but by the time of the Belleville, 4-Crown or Syracuse there were only like 15 cars left.

Re: USAC Silver Crown 2015
 

Jr. Kurtz said he'll run only the miles, and Brian Tyler will be driving.

Great news!! Just like old times, and with Tyler at the helm they'll be a force to be reckoned with, too.:6::27:

Absolutely in regards to makin' the trip worth while!! Beck says no problem on the Rend Lake outing. She said to tell ya' that we'll be camped right next to "party cove" and that we'll anchor amongst the revelers, at least for a little while!! LOL!! Ya' never really know what you're apt to see in party cove.;):18::6:

Nate you have to consider that almost every time they run half miles there is a smaller car count, especially the long distance races like Belleville and Syracuse. If you consider the car counts we have built on almost every single race.

Indy - 24 in 2013, 26 in 2014
Terre Haute - no race in 2013, 21 in 2014
Springfield - 20 in 2013, 25 in 2014
DuQuoin - 15 in 2013, 23 in 2014
Belleville - 13 in 2013, 15 in 2014
Eldora - 20 in 2013, 20 in 2014
Syracuse - no race in 2013, 15 in 2014

Thing is you have to consider what Andy has done for the series and he has gained back the faith of so many teams and built new relationships with others. I wholeheartedly believe we will continue to see the car counts grow and this year may be the most drastic growth we have seen yet because the hype is very high. The only place i worry about car counts is Belleville because it is such a long drive for most teams, to a half mile (versus a mile), and seems to be hard on motors.

I'm not at all downplaying whats going on with the Silver Crown series. I'm not a huge fan but I do go to the Hoosier and the 4-Crown and I'm glad to see it growing a bit. Hopefully they can revive the midget series in a similar manner.

Nate

Can't wait to see the #30 car. That's a dream come true! Hopefully they leave the side of the cockpit open like it should be. I really don't like the new cars, I only go because it's something my dad took me to when I was a kid.

Can't wait to see #30 car. I'm old
school.
