Fascinating... Kirk, would you not agree that some would argue it is Powri and ASCS that are currently controlling the respective trends you speak of? I think that if you view this from a National perspectve (national as in Nation-wide, not as in "National Midgets"), there are those who would argue that USAC is currently struggling just to maintain a seat at the table.
There is no question that USAC is still synonomous with the top-shelf, big name "National Midget" series in the same way that WOO is synonomous with top shelf, winged nonsense. But as we have already learned with the WOO, what goes on at that level is having less and less to do with what the other 95% of us do for the love of the sport on any given Saturday night.
