I rarely post on here and am usually just a creeper, but this constant USAC bashing has gotten so old I had to post something.
I am a 600 owner and driver, and allthough I might not agree 100% with everyhting that USAC does, I think this idea has a ton of potential. We can all argue until we are blue in the face about the pavement sprint cars, Silver Crown Series, or even the midgets. Everyone has an opinion, and it's so easy to blame USAC for all of the world's problems.
Think about this...
USAC didn't mandate 1/2 or more of the fans to get up and leave before or during the Silver Crown race at the 4-Crown. Maybe the Silver Crown Series has ran it's course. Times have changed. I don't see any other individuals or organizations chomping at the bit to take these cars on.
USAC Indiana Sprint Week has a fantastic following of drivers, cars, and fans. I have been to most of the events over the past decade. Standing room only type crowds.
I have watched numerous sprint, midget, and .25 midget events on the USAC live portion of the website. I can't say that I have ever seen a live stream of 600 mini sprint racing anywhere. With USAC's help, this is within the realm of possibilities.
The USAC brand alone will greatly improve the marketing possibilites and increase interest in potential sponsors for the 600 race teams. How can this be bad?
I may be the only one, but I am very excited to see what USAC can bring to the 600 mini sprints...
