"Q: What is going on with USAC’s pavement divisions? Salem drew 10 midgets and 12 sprint cars! Personally, I disagreed with your position on USAC’s new Gold Crown division, as I thought this had potential to be a promising endeavor for USAC. But now I am seeing your point, USAC needs to pay more attention to their current problems, and high on that list should be strengthening the turnouts at pavement races.

RM: Salem's rough surface evidently kept a lot of teams away, although high-banked pavement races haven't had much of a car count for some time now. I more concerned that there were only 33 cars at the Belleville Nationals and Davey Hamilton dropped the Hut Hundred because USAC couldn't guarantee 33 cars. There's a lot of people unhappy with USAC boss Kevin Miller and I intend to write something soon about what is going on."
This could get interesting.
