Usac -vs- qma for quarter midgets

Melmo · 9/19/08, 3:52 PM

Well its out now about some clubs thinking about moving to USAC but there's nothing set in stone as yet. Yes there are many thoughts and questions about this move weather good or bad!!! A lot of the questions are being answered as we speak. Would it be better for the kids or not?

This Saturday there will be a meeting at the Kokomo Quarter Midget track in Kokomo, Indana at 10am to answer some of these questions. Is the Kokomo Quarter Midget track going USAC? Who knows but one thing is only the members will answer that question. Along with that there's not one, two or just three people going to say go USAC either it will be the members at all clubs to make that happen.

About the spec tire deal USAC will not be the ones making the speck tire rule it will be the members of the clubs. Will it be Hoosier who knows it might be several tires.

But all in all everything is up in the air right now and still a lot of questions to be answered so who knows what's going to happen.

The best part right now will be what everyone thinks about it weather good or bad.

One thing to remember its all about the KIDS aging from 5 to 16 so everyone needs to keep that in mind also because there will be several kids reading what everyone is saying about this issue so please keep it clean and don't let it get out of hand!!!

The other post says that cars will be on display at Eldora tonight. Have any tracks made the committment to charter with USAC yet?

I certainly didn't get the impression that the "membership" would have any say in a SPEC tire rule, or any rule for that matter. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think it's going to a vote.

There are certainly things that I would personally like to see change in our sport. I am hopeful that USAC will bring some of these changes, but all I've seen to this point are vague ideas with little substance behind them. It's great that they intend to promote the sport, but what are they going to do that we can't/haven't done already? We have 100 cars weekly and had 20+ new members join the club this season. Can they top that? If so, how? What is the marketing/promotion strategy? What is the marketing/promotion budget for 2009?

There are many, many quesitons yet to be answered. I am eager to hear USAC's responses to all of them.

In my opinion, this could be very good or very bad for the sport. Let's hope it doesn't end up being an IRL & CART sort of situation.
