We were going to make a return to Silver Crown racing this year with our low budget team due to a new sponsor/partner but now I am unsure I want to go through all the headaches of re-doing the fuel system and buying a bigger radiator on top of all the other stuff that has to be done. Our engine builder has no experience setting up for this fuel. I don't like the idea of running hotter in those long races. Apparently teams will have to make a trip just to pick up fuel so you can get some before the first race to test. Methanol is everywhere.

USAC has a rule mandating a large tank and I doubt you'll see that change or that would kill the series for sure if this doesn't already.

We will definately skip the Hoosier 100 to see what happens before we spend a dime. I will go as spectator though and support it that way.

My question is....did the series really need this right now?
