Whoever came up with that idea should be permanently banned from motorsport! Trying to turn big cars into a Nascar support class was a terrible idea. Here's a fact that remains true, USAC racing, sprint, midgets, and crown, always have, and continues to produce the best racers in the world. Why anyone would want to try to change it is beyond me

morphodite vehicle? I thought it looked pretty cool, but I understand your devotion and unlike some others recently, I won't try beat you over the head about it. I don't know the details, they were already a memory by the time I got interested in open wheel. I like silver crown, loved watching them on ESPN when Kenny Irwin, Smoke, and others that use to run them, especially liked the Ted Horn race. Much respect for the open wheel non-wing guys.
