Also, negativity stems from people seeing how these things failed before and a few people emphatically saying these will be a success now.
Well, if your ***** is that USAC forced out the original pavement cars and put these in their place....then...go read the many posts that explain why they originally went to this car. I'll sum it up for you.

MOST MILE PAVEMENT TRACKS NO LONGER WANTED THE SILVER CROWN CARS!!! I don't know if it was because of the cost to the promoter or they just didn't want them. A good example is look at how hard is was for the PRA to get races at a fraction of the Silver Crown purse. So USAC looked at the options and they decided they needed a car that could race at bigger venues as well as the smaller ones. Wow...something many of you don't understand....Change was needed. Did they handle it right? NO! But at least they made an attempt. Now Ashmore has take over and is gambeling that it will work. I don't know if it will, but I like it's chances better out of USAC's hands. It is going to need the full attention of someone than being another series in an organization.

Just stop blaming the new car for the silver crown problems. THE PAVEMENT SERIES WAS IN TROUBLE FAR BEFORE THEY SWITCHED!!!!!!!!!!!
