Here is what I know: From SPRINT CAR AND MIDGET MAG, April 2010, page 16: According to a member driver of the org interviewed in the article, a member driver of this org cannot participate (race) with another organization ( BOO!) within 48 hours or 200 miles for an event to count towards the national title.
What this means: Real simple, fans. You won't be seeing some of the great and famous drivers that you've enjoyed at many of the tracks you frequent, plain and simple!!!!!!! Are you happy about that, fans?
You left out a very important part of that, Don. The letter that Keith posted earlier specifically said that this
doesn't apply if the other track that said driver wants to run at, is host to at least 1 USAC event, that year. In this part of the country, that means most tracks.
