Yeah, there doesn't seem to be much room in motorsports anymore for a guy who thinks that he has a better "mouse trap". Everything is a spec series now. Maybe at the time though, these cars would have served their intended purpose well...a basic rear engine vehicle to gain midget/sprint drivers valuable rear engine experience. Had this divison taken off back then, who knows, maybe Darland, Elliot, etc...would be Indy 500 champs by now. And those "Road to Indy" stickers might actually mean something. Just my humble opinion of course. :thumb

Mac Miller....the name is so familiar, were you involved in Indy racing in the past? Sorry if I'm confusing you with someone else.
