And about Ron Shuman: He was one of my favorite racers and I thought he did a helluva job running the SCRA. I think he does a great job. But am I right that he was basically mutineed against by his own club? He had a club, and I thought he treated them quite well, and between the racers and tracks, he was basically forced out. So apparently quite a few people were unhappy with him too! Am I wrong?

I do believe USAC came out west and promised television and more money...Of course none of that happened. Shu got screwed by USAC. Ask the guys out west. I am sure you are best friends with all of them. I would guess most would like to go back to the Shuman days. I personally would like to see Shuman come out to Indiana and but USAC down. Sure USAC will always be there but I think most would run a Shuman deal if it was done right. He had the right formula and it was taking off. Usac took it as a threat to their kingdom. Came out west an made promises that they still can not deliver. I do not see the west coast car count at Sprint Week like we did when Shuman brought his boys out. By the way are you even old enough to watch the man race? probably not.
