The Extreme Non-Wing Series will be succcessful because it is run by a former racer with the backing of corporate level executives. The WoO has proven to be a great organization to race with. If Casey Shuman is the point man on the series, he is the right guy for the job. As a racer he knows what it takes to field a car and his experience at organizing and promoting is a huge asset. I have always been and will always be a devout USAC supporter but at the same time open minded. If the Extreme series does a good job and USAC doesn't respond in kind.....then the principles of business will apply. The better business people will prosper and the other will wilt like a flower. I wish both organizations success.
