Jim you need to relax here buddy. This is a "message board" where people convey there ideas and thoughts and yes maybe some of it is fantasy. But to be completely honest with you the existing tracks weren't trying to get rid of the "real" silver crown cars. It was the juggernaut called NASCAR that wanted to get rid of them! Hence Bill France heading up the ******** that they now call a silver crown car. Now look what has happened with the passing of Bill France! You find yourself in the same situation as all of the owners of the old cars that didn't step up and shove out a ridiculous amount of money for theses new cars. Now to say that none of us has a dime invested into these cars, well that could be the farthest from the truth. Now we may not own these cars but most of us either have alot of blood sweat and tears involved with these cars over the years. The others as fans have money invested in the form of the almighty entertainment dollar! Now for USAC to keep changing the formula for how this division will operate is going to hurt fan base and hurt the future of this division as a whole. Whether it be under the old cars or the new cars or to make everyone happy by running both style of cars! I for one would hope that there can be a happy medium reached and we will see all three different cars ran! As we all know that is what shouldve happened in the first place but we can't change the past we can only hope to move forward in a positive direction and hope that the greatest division in the history of USAC will once again and thrive and be just as strong as it used to be! You don't have to go that far back to see how strong of a division it was when we were drawing 40 plus cars to Phoenix and IRP and so on! There are alot of the older cars out there collecting dust that need to be showcased in front of the fans to get USAC back to where it used to be. Would TV help? Yes it would but it has to be the right TV package not the bs that they call a TV pakage right now! I think ESPN would like to show more sports instead of dog shows!
