Some new cars will have to magically appear otherwise I can see 5-10 cars showing up.
According to prior posts in this thread, and several posts in older threads regarding car counts at pavement races: There are a boatload of pavement cars just sitting in people's shops and garages, not being run because of the cost of tires.........
So according to these 'authorities', if USAC changes the tire rules to align more with other pavement series, or does some kind of tire limit deal, there -might- (don't hold your breath) be enough cars show up, to cause USAC to run a B main.
