Aren't Springfield, DuQuoin and Indy horsetrack miles? In fact, Knoxville was originally built as a horsetrack half mile. And, wasn't Milwaukee originally a horsetrack?
The simple fact is that a promoter must be able to make money with the event he/she organizes. If they don't, the event -- no matter what division it schedules -- ceases to exist, or another sanctioning body is invited. USAC is the ONLY sanctioning body for these cars.
For a promoter to make money, he/she needs cars entered and butts in the grandstands. I believe a major part of what is wrong with racing today is it is no longer exciting to the young people, those folks who promoters need to fill the grandstands in the next generation And, part of that problem is race tracks running too many divisions. But, that's another issue.
The problem with Silver Crown is where is the sizzle? We can't keep living in the past.
