EXACTLY and I'll go a few better. He did everything in his power to work with tracks. Reschedual, Get them a race. I personally believe hes soley responsible for getting a doable PA-Maryaland swing to sellout crowds and other tracks begging for races.
Hes taken a schedual of 15-20 races (Mostly pavement and increased by 1/3 to 1/2 in Midgets and Sprints.

Single handedly with the cooperation of tracks saves last years sprint week.

2. Was it a money thing? Maybe, we all know USAC is broke, but was Greg given the opportunity to maybe take a paycut? NO, and I would say Greg would have done so, but do you think Kevin, Jason or Jason would have taken any kind of concession...NO WAY, it's their paycheck, not their livelyhood like Greg.

Who knows? But I don't think the guy getting dates and cars in the fields is the one who needs cut???????????? More members, More fans, More cars, More $$$$$ for USAC.

Im not knocking Kevin or Jason, Hopefully they do a good job. However, How is bringing in the old regime MOVING FORWARD?????

I wish the "NEW REGIME" at USAC the best of luck and just remember that USAC, It's fans, drivers, car owners and promoters come FIRST, they are the only reason USAC and your jobs are still around.

Exactly! :applaud:

Greg has seen first hand all sides of open wheel short track racing, an asset that he has used to great advantage IMHO in his dream job with USAC. If, as it now seems certain, Greg will be out and not by his choice, then I join others here in voicing my disapproval

Exactly Fishburger!

He basically designed the earlier redo of the Burg but didn't get to see it come to fruition under his tenure.
Changed LBurg from a 7-12 car a week track to a 30-40 average. Took the fan count from 600 or so to about 2000.

Other USAC accompishements that may go un-apreciated.
Supported USAC in the late 80s-90s when only a handful of teams would do so. When they had to put on a wing to get any fan interest.

A IRP WIN! Which I was very fortunate to witness in only one of my two pavement ventures.

Gave USAC 2-3-4 dates as a promotor in days which dirt races were rare.

Worked with tracks to get dates and make it doable for both teams and fans. He don't just care about the teams he cares about all aspects.

With all due respect to Kevin Miller (Maybe he's doing what has to be done, I don't know.

But IMHO, STAAB should be president of USAC.

Im eliminating about 9 USAC events from my schedual cept for my home track which to support it is the only reason I'll go. I'll go to waynsfield or something for the events I planned to travel too, Kokomo, Liberty, Gas City, Kokomo, Bloom. Both sprint and midget weeks and another event or two I could have made.


Sorry, to hurt other tracks by not visiting but someone needs to take a stand. Book a MSCS race, I'll be there!

Chuck, none to happy about this. But If USAC don't care about us (Racers, Fans and tracks), Why should we care about them? Staab did! and gave up a ton to do it!
