I think what Spridge means regarding the National series is that they dont really travel anywhere. Ultimately in our type of racing you have USAC, WoO, ASCS (Nat'l), possibly the All Stars as National Series but only USAC, WoO and now ASCS Nat'l traveling virtually coast to coast. I think that by calling your series a national series when it really isn't is misleading. I think some series use the term "National Midgets" which is in reference to the "type" of midgets you see with USAC.
But the beauty of USAC is that they are truly a National Series... that's why they get the best of the best drivers and probably why alot of lower budget teams (unfortunately) choose not to race against them whether it be for big events mentioned if they are co-sanctioned or not. And probably the other reason many don't cross over to chase USAC points. I mean if it paid points for Powri or Badger or RMMRA or ARDC to come run Knoxville and/or Belleville... how many more cars we talking... i think not many.
I'm back from Knoxville and super tired... so if any of the above doesn't make sense im sorry.
