The BCRA is not trying to be a "trend setter" in fact they really do not care about the trend. Trends come and go....

I get that you are a USAC guy and there is nothing wrong with that, in fact I admire your conviction. As for changing midget racing, I can tell you that it is only a matter of time before USAC is not the trend setter. You cannot set trends with the low following that they have. It is but a matter of time before someone comes in with a better idea (plan, program) that makes them irrelevant. I mean let's face it the most successful midget race in the country is not even a USAC event. USAC should be thankful that Hahn has not focused more on midget racing as he has the network to make USAC irrelevant. But from where I sit and what I see that is all changing.

USAC used to be relevant in Indy car racing, they are now irrelevant.
USAC used to be relevant in sprint car racing, now they are irrelevant.
Hell, USAC used to be relevant in stock car racing, now they are irrelevant.

Save me the, USAC is relevant for non-wing sprint cars, speach as it is irrelevant. The ASCS has 4+ times the number of members as USAC. ASCS and WoO have made USAC irrelevant when it comes to sprint car racing and the day will come when that is the case with midget racing as well, unless USAC makes some drastic changes.

I mean there was a time when USAC was dominant... then they lost Indy, then the failed to recognized the drawing power of winged sprints, then they failed to recognize the need for a 360 sprint car division. History is showing that the USAC business model (what ever that is) is only setting them up for failure and their control of midget racing will be the next to fall, IMO.

I know this is hard to believe, but things change and you either change with them or you become extinct.

Visionaries create the future, historians defend the past, which do you want to be?
