April 1, 2011 - Indianapolis, IN - USAC has announced three new racing divisions that will kick off at the beginning of the 2012 season.

.125 midgets - offshoot of the popular .25 midgets series. They will be
.25 midgets cut in half and will be raced on a figure 4 track. These cars will be half the price of the regular .25 midgets.

Aluminum Crown Series - For the budget-minded racer that cannot afford the silver in a Silver crown car, this car will be fabricated from recycled aluminum. Sponsors for the series include Alcoa, Pepsi, Coke and Renoylds Wrap.

410 CI helicopter racing - all the fun of 410 non-wing sprint cars but without the cost of those expensive Hoosier Tires. It will be better than airplane racing as helicopters are run WITHOUT WINGS. HANS device and 5 point belts are recommended but not mandatory.

A schedule will be released in the near future.
