Call me a pessimist, but I think the SC series as we know it it not long for this world. I hope I am wrong.

Why would anybody in their right mind build two different types of cars for 10 races? With the Sprints and Midgets running so many shows, where do the SCs fit in? I can not think of the last time the SCs had a full field. The two most recent being 28 at The Hoosire 100 and only 16 at Manzy. They had what 17 or 18 for The Four Crown last Sept.

As much as I like the big cars, maybe this proposed Gold Crown series might(and I said might) be a good thing. Imagine the current SC series goes away and the Gold Crown series becomes a stepping stone to The IRL. Granted it would be all pavement, but what does The IRL run? If they could be a support series for IRL races, it might work. Having a pecking order of Gold Crown, Indy Lights and on to The IRL.

Times are changing and I do not like it,but just maybe something good will come of this.
