Eck in this case what our fans want doesnt mean crap. If these young drivers and their parents are convinced that this is a step to NASCAR and thats where they want to go then we will have to live with it. It could be argued that without the thunder series and Gordon USAC would be far less relevant to the average fan than it is today. It is what it is and we cant do a thing about it. Would you like then to sign a contract to stay in USAC for, say, five years? I agree with alot of what you said but preventing the young stars from moving to fenders wont happen until you pay as good as the fenders do and that just aint happening.
