For those of you who haven't been paying attention, there were a couple of fairly high-profile events a little over a week ago, one in Georgia and one in Illinois, one 5000 to win and one a first-of-its' kind indoors with a USAC sanction running the rules packages that you're bashing, and both with very respectable car counts. May not be everyone's cup of tea but it's actually gaining a bit of a foothold. And in the Midwest there really isn't a debate anymore about whether or not chain-drive cars belong, they are consistently competitive with their automotive counterparts.
No need to get nasty, either; c'mon...
