(check out www.champcarstats.com for proof of no dirt in 1971 onwards). Silver Crown was started as a dirt only series. That distanced itself from the National Championship and therefore the cars used in the Silver Crown could not be Champ Cars.

We understand your point - and it is WRONG. Don't argue with David or Dwight or me. We were there - we lived it. I've been following this stuff for 54 racing seasons now. I'm not puffing my chest out, but I probably forgot more about this facet of racing than you'll ever know.
:idea:Why don't you just talk about your Aussie sporty cars and such? You seem to know about that. I don't know anything about that and don't care to.
