Been involved in racing since you were in diapers & i gotta agree with the Rock on this one. USAC is an antiquated monoply

Check out the car counts out west now. The last 3 races at Perris (the home track) drew 29, 28, and 23 cars. The car count at Yuma, Ariz was 18, Santa Maria, Calif. 18 and Tulare, Calif. 17. If they don't travel to these races then there is no way they are coming all the way to Indiana for sprint week. There's a reason guys don't travel as much...it's called MONEY and EXPENSE. I know first hand what it cost to travel that far for a couple of weeks. I'm going back to 2004 and it was OVER $15,000!!
