Hav-A-Tampa, later the UDTRA, STARS and the All Star Circuit of Champions were around in the earlier days of the SN's and all of those sanctions were a strong draw in those days. I remember them well and we raced with all of them a few times. Some of those championships paid pretty good. Bloomer, Moyer, Freddy Smith, Dale McDowell and Rick Eckert were all champions of those series during the SN's heyday. Not sure the touring series' of today are an excuse for a lack of star power racing in the SN's series.
