I do think some things have improved dirt wise. Haven't attended a Pavement event and at that only two were USAC in about five years for Border wars.

Increasing the car count to make the heats and removing that overpacked 8 lap race for two possitions is a good thing.

Rob Klepper amazes me with his excitement level, information, Lineup calling and helping make stars of good or great
racers with Self Proven names and names given by him or others to drivers. THE MADMAN! The ROCKET, COOOOOOOOOOONS JR ect. He almost always packs everything possible into one of his PA deals and to be honest a USAC SHOW including some future events! WITHOUT HIM is almost NOT USAC at this point. He helps elevate it to event status with his vocal prowess

Cars used to have names, Lasted five or so years. The Delrose special, The Cissy Smith special. Even if a fan didn't know who was driving for the night, They recognized the car. There are still some highly recognizable cars but many times thats not the same exact car that finishes the season. Why name a car thats gonna be trashed in a dozen races or so?

You take a race fan or someone who's never been to a sprint car race and usually their reaction is HOLY BLEEP! THE PROBLEM IS GETTING THEM THERE and as been statted over and over. KEEPING THEM.
