Maybe now would be a good time for USAC to look at a rear engine pavement car that could be a support series for Indy Cars as they pull away from the 1 1/2 mile cookie cutter NASCAR tracks and add one mile ovals like Milwaukee, Loudon and Iowa. Phoenix would be nice to see again to. Even Martinsville, Richmond and North Wilkesbourough. As a fan, I love Indy Cars as well as USAC Sprints on dirt. USAC could call the Pavement Cars Silver Crown and use the series as a stepping stone for Sprint Car and Midget drivers to get into Indy Cars. Indy Car seems to be moving in the right direction, but it desperately needs grassroot American drivers. Like Robin Miller says, can you imagine what the crowd at the Indy 500 would be like if names like Darland, Stanbough, Clussen, Whit, Sweet, Bacon et al were competing!
