This is huge! I can’t believe that there hasn’t been a bigger response to this. USAC can’t take an extra five minutes in the bathroom without somebody on this site complaining about it. And here it is, probably one if not the biggest thing to happen to open wheel racing this year and there are only three responses.
I had the pleasure to run Davy Hamilton’s King of Wings series last summer. I have to say he was great to work with and I really feel he treated everyone equal from the lowest dollar guy there (Me) to the biggest teams with the massive haulers and multiple cars. As a racer himself, he understands what it takes to get a car to the track every week.
Right now, I have more questions than answers. It said the press release that the KOW and the Auto Value Sprint Series will run under the USAC banner. Since we run with these series’, I’m sure that will mean changes in our racing program but right now I’m not sure how large or how small. But since our first race is in a month (April 10th in Pensacola, FL), I’m sure I’ll have some answers soon.
So I’ll say congratulations to Davey and I wish you well. And if I can give you one bit of advice, it would be to not listen to all the Negative Nelly’s. You know what’s right for short track, open wheel racing, just do it.
