Milwaukee gone
 

So is anyone really surprised about the latest USAC announcement that Milwaukee has been pulled from
the Silver Crown schedule due to .......... "Scheduling conflict". It never appeared on Milwaukee schedule to begin with. I predict if the series is still around next year it will only be dirt. Bob Sargent please take this series over. You do 40% of the races anyway.

I wish it would go to just dirt.

Once again guys , its gonna take full support to make this deal work, not opinions and beating this powri horse. The fact is the heritage might be the only thing thats kept this deal goin, if anyone else runs it it becomes about money and dollars and sense and the losing side of that proposition means certain death, the fact is its usac and sargents job to bring it back above water, lets hope they can and support it as well as possible

So it's up to USAC and the promoters to keep this series going. I got that.

Wait one second, Sargent isn't responsible for bringing this back at all. He supplies the facilities and promotion, that's it. He puts his financial well being on the line every time he puts on a race.

USAC supplies, the cars, the drivers, and most importantly the rules. Unfortunately their decisions, and their,s alone have decimated this series. Hopefully somehow or some way, the people at USAC have finally figured out that they can't keep trying screwing with this series. No more new car designs, no more short sighted rule changes. Stick with what you have at the present time and build on it.

How many years did Indy Car not race at Milwaukee? How much money did the promoters of the Indy Car race lose over the years at Milwaukee? Does anybody know the agreement between the track and USAC? Was the track/USAC agreement dependent on one or the other bringing an event sponsor to the race? Does anyone know the amount of pre-sales for this race? Does anybody know the amonut of cars confirmed for this event?

I will once again get on my silver crown soap box. :deadhorse: If there was more demand for the product, there would be more supply. If every Silver Crown race was sold out, more promoters would be having silver crown races. The simple fact is that with all of the options for entertainment, Silver Crown cars are at the bottom of the list of what people want to see.

Seems to me that it's all about owners and $$$. Not their fault, but lack of $$ means a shortage of rides, in all divisions. For example, Jerry Coons Jr., Bobby East, Dave Darland are running Little 5 instead of the Night before the 500 at IRP. If they all had a midget ride like normal, they wouldn't be on the Little 5 roster. That isn't a slam, it's merely an observation.

seems to me that the usac silver crown div. was one of the more successful outfits in racing until they kissed up tp nascar and s***canned their pavement cars in lieu of those hideous whatevers/ i suspect certain people at nascar are still laughing at the very thought of that one:10:

For a guy who never pays to get in races, you sure have all the answers. If it is so easy why don't you do it? I love these cars, but car owners and fans aren't that interested in them. Plain and simple. If they were the PRA would have drawn cars. They drew less than USAC. Answer this Chris, if you have the guts to, when was the last dirt mile built in America? That answer says alot.

Well Funkster, do want horse track mile or State fairgrounds? Dirt or pavement? I'll see you at the Hoosier Hundred, Springfield , and DuQuoin.
