For years I have heard USAC, its fans, its promoters lamenting the fact of what a great product we have, but no one seems to know about it. It would seem, at least from the outside, there is no real USAC business plan or proactive approach to solving this issue. I am aware of things like production costs, etc, but others seem to find answers to these issues. I await answers from those much more knowledgeable than I about this.
Once again, the answer is MONEY. Nascar and IndyCar are about the only series that don't have to pay to be on TV. Kevin Miller's plan for the future (as I heard him say once) involves the internet.
