If that were true , everyone would know precisely where to place blame when this thing goes down wrong !

Usually , the person who risks taking all the blame is the person whose confidence dictates that he will find a solution and will get all the credit.
If Miller had a solution , it wouldn't take him 21 months to play his hand.



I'm not sure that Miller would agree here either ... He might prefer to say that some things have just naturally evolved.
If 10 Midgets and 12 Sprints showing up at Salem in a 50th Anniversary event is seen as a current day "trend" and one that USAC controls ... Well , let's just say that this "trend business" is not falling in USAC's favor so I would doubt that they possess "the powers of control" that you elude to.



Wrong.
If this is your suggestion to Miller he's not buying it !
Reference the original thread post by Don Moore that quotes Mr. Kevin Miller as saying _

Doesn't seem like he'll be doing any " reigning in " as you state.




In saying that " no one has done anything yet " is to say that Mr. Miller has yet to do anything in his 21 month tenure ?


I'd be willing to bet that Kevin Miller would not come on here and say , " Yes , these statements as stated by Kirk Spridgeon are an accurate reflection of positions taken by me and best describe the current USAC mission ".




Rick-
You're not even close on who controls the rule trends in racing.

Paul-
It's not difficult to understand that Miller, and everyone around midget racing, has seen the situation become all too clear in the recent months. Just because he said something quite a while back doesn't mean that is his current position.

The trends that USAC sets are the rules in the midgets. Basically, the overall rules for midgets are most affected by USAC's. Just like the sprint car rules of the world are most affected by the World of Outlaws. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

How many races have you hit this year, Paul?
