USAC lost it's place as a ladder series to INDY when it banned Rear Engined Sprints, Midgets & SC cars.
I wish it wasn't so but...

I think  the best thing that USAC could do for the SC OWNERS is to mandate COMBO CHASSIS ONLY as is being done to try to save the Focus Midget Series. |
If USAC went to mandating combo chasis for SC then that series will be done the day they did it. They can pull that off with focus because they are doing it early enough that most cars are still combo cars. I do beleave focus started out as a combo car series then went to purpose built cars. If you throw that kind of change into SC after the switch from old style cars to new gen cars then back to old style cars there wont be 5 cars show up to the first race and you will only get that many if the frame tubes arent rusted clear intwo from sitting behind some barn so the cows had something to rub on. They just need to add races to SC both dirt and pavement. The Goldcrown series will be a great advantage to drivers wanting to move on to the next level they will be able to show road course experience, short track, and speedway experience the last I checked super vee only ran road courses. Also Bruce is in contact with IRL teams getting feedback on what they see as benificial to getting silvercrown and Goldcrown drivers into indy car.
