a lot of great points. i have to agree with u with the statement about usac turning their focus toward the quater midgets and off-road trucks (at least it appears that way). having two different cars for dirt and pavement is rediculous. the tire bill to run pavement is rediculous (a few thousand dollars for just one weekend). the only way to control these cost are with more rules...but there's already enough of those. it's a catch 22 as far as i can see. pavement racing will continue as long as there are enough rich guys who are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to field these cars.
