Also, since the engine for these cars is basically an open 360, why not choose a crate motor with a similar HP as an option and at least make the engine costs affordable for the pavement series. Combine that with some limits on shocks and tires and you could easily bring back some teams that have cars right now, but just don't have the funds to race with the current rule package.
I couldn't agree more. Silver Crown ran Milwaukee a couple years back in the late '80s. Both times produced excellent racing. Wouldn't hurt Indycar to add Silver Crown to their Saturday program either.
