Every night that I showed up with a year-old race ticket was a call on the radio to the front office.

However, the other problem was that POWRi got upset with USAC having success in their back yard and started to cross promote against it. There for a while I was really pissed at POWRi and stopped going to their shows because of them helping kill off the Gold Crown.
They didnt just cross promote, they ran at Little Belleville just across town. Quinn made both features one year.
