Great job of answering the questions asked and great pr for USAC and their drivers!
It's amazing that everybody is bashing about everything THEY can't call Kevin Miller and ask themselves! He has been on RaceFanRadio shows many times. He was on the USAC show and nobody called!!! He spent an hour and nobody called!
Car #10 why don't you start a post about how to control midget racing? Lots of jabs but show us fans some facts! Racing ain't cheap anywhere. Show us the money!
Miller isn't afraid to take the questions, he admitted the New Gen cars are work in progress. USAC brought up their new website for Knoxville. Isn't perfect but one hell of a start. 7 months on the job and I think he has done alot. Dumping Greg wasn't to my liking but he has a reason.
Everybody in the Mid-west likes to dump USAC but outside of that USAC complaints aren't known by most of the fans. They still think USAC is a great series. That doesn't count on the west coast, they hate themselves, maybe that's why it's gone from CRA to SCRA to CRA/USAC to Faas next year?
USAC is changing and in time the races will become events. Nobody gets fired up about going to a USAC race at the Burg ! But everybody is fired up for Indiana SprintWeek coming to the Burg. Why? because sprintweek is an event.
Midget racing has a problem with the cost of engines, that's not just a USAC problem that's everywhere. But look at the different manufactures involved.
USAC was started Jan 1st 1956, back when the INDY 500 was a part of USAC. Things have changed since then. In another 10 years this will all be just another change within USAC. Did Duane Carter, Charlie Brockman, Dick King and John Capels change things that people didn't like?
Stay at your favorite local track, they never have any problems with the track or car counts, enjoy the support series that help your promoter break even on a possible rainy night.
USAC is still the Major League of Open Wheel Racing, like it or not.
