I just fail to see what USAC brings to the table, except more hands on your billfold, does it make the event any more prestigious, I don't think so, at one time maybe, but not lately, most people go away with the added cost factor on their minds, and, the same racing they coulda had without the extra cost, it doesn't make any more appeal to me, I know when we run as a "loss looser" with them, it hits in the wallet, and we don't see any extra in our payout. JMHO, I'm not a really die hard anything, except solitare, now that gets me shook up! Bob
