I posted this a few weeks ago and it is as true today as it was then. USAC is more affordable for racers and fans and will always be what it is, a regional not a truly national series. It offers what the fans of it’s region want. USAC will be here a long time doing just what it does now.
“Much ado about….well I’m not sure. Lots of folks lambasting USAC for…..not expanding? I’d like more too, but they got a good gig going. I see several shows every year in Indiana, the crowds are always large, the field is always full. Just because they may struggle in Pennsylvania or South Dakota or Knoxville doesn’t mean they aren’t successful for what they are. Hell, you have to get up pretty early in the morning just to get a decent sprint week seat. USAC is fine. If another group wants to give big travel with non wingers a try, go for it, not sure that’s gonna knock USAC off it’s perch, but if it somehow does, it will be a boon for MSCS. There is always going to be a strong local non wing org in Indiana.”
If it is a stepping stone series, so what? It still promotes great racing and develops outstanding racers and draws crowds. Why the angst? I guess winter has already been too long and the natives are restless.
