[QUOTE=1BIGracefan;59616]Duke, Have you ever thought that the fans of today my generation dont really care if INDYCAR drivers run the Champ Cars anymore. I for one would much rather see Darland, Coons, Cottle, Hines and the others instead of INDYCAR drivers. The INDYCAR drivers are not the draw you think they are. You are not talking about Foyt, Unser, Rutherford et all like in your day Duke.[/QUOTE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DARLAND HINES AND A BUNCH MORE RUN THE 500? I WOULD! WHAT MADE THE MILE TRACKS WHERE THE RUTTMAN CARTER HANK BRYAN WARD FOYT JONES (ECT) THE 500 STARS RUNNING MIDGETS SPRINTS AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP TRAIL! DRIVNG RACE CARS TO FEED THERE FAMILYS!!!! THATS WHY THERE IS LITTLE INTEREST IN IT! NO MAGIC IN IT! I WENT TO THE HOOSIER 100 IN 5OS & 60S THE GRANDSTAND WAS SOLD OUT A YEAR BEFORE AND THE INFIELD WAS PACKED! I WENT TO AAA AND USAC MIDGETS & SPRINT CAR RACES IN THE 40S 50S AT DAYTON WINCHESTER FT WAYNE AND 90% OF THE FEATURE STARTERS WHERE ALREADY INDY 500 DRIVERS! WITH OVER 12.000 FANS THERE! I KNOW TODAYS INDY DRIVERS HAVE NO FOLLOWING LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS! THATS THE PROBLEM USAC HAS TODAY! YOU CAN SEE THE SAME DRIVERS AT ANY LOCAL TRACK ANY WEEKEND THAT THERE IS NO USAC RACE! :redflag:
