Don,
It must be easier with the V-8's as the Silver Crown cars don't seem to have any issues and I don't at Terre Haute. A couple of good points of been mentioned about curfews and such, but it also isn't easy finding quality push trucks and operators like Joe Chambers gang. Especially going into markets that dont have much tradition of running sprint cars.
The USAC Ford Focus cars run a version of the starter/clutch I have and I'll never forget the last PRI Orlando race in 2007, all 24 of those cars were waiting to take the track for their A main.......lined up 2 x 2, 12 rows, and they all left the pits together in formation. They went one lap and took the green and were finished quicker than the sprint cars could even push off and get lined up.
Traditionalist will keep push trucks in demand for some time, but I like inovators like Bert Transmissions, and I like having a choice....unlike the DT-3 tire. Save that one for the round table.

Silver Crown cars have a transmission, Sprints and Midgets do not.
The Focus cars to not usually run on large tracks and have a different torque curve.
Like I said on small tracks the on board starters worked great, large tracks, problems.
