If half of what Kevin is trying to accomplish happens... the club will be twice as good as it has been for the last six years.

"Dwight Clock - Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous, mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Same people that told us to save toilet paper by using both sides.

Robin Miller is a little late on this. Kevin Miller said all this on D.O's internet show several weeks ago. Nonetheless, I hope and pray that this all works out to everybody's satisfaction.

I visit several forums but don't post much. However,I believe the people on this board, even though mostly traditionalist, are so ready to get the USAC train back on track you can make a difference. I, like you, are ready to get behind the new team.
We have 2 Sprint dates set and the 4-Crown. We open the season with the Sprints on April 5th and we plan on some major promotion for that event.
I am open to any ideas you may have.
And, yes, the track will be much better now that we have had a year to work with it.

The D.O. show and Miller's column are both on the internet.

I'm all in favor of any measures which would improve the USAC racing experience for competitors, promoters, fans, or anyone else with an interest, vested or otherwise. And I will look forward with cautious optimism unless/until the Kevin Miller administration proves to be incapable of fine tuning the product. That said, as an "old" (according to Dwight :icon_smile_blackeye) traditionalist, I just hope they don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. I agree 100% with the first part of His Royal Robin's opening line, "For as long as anyone can remember USAC has always featured the best racing". Being just a fan, I'll leave the second part, "and worst leadership on the planet" for others to evaluate. Except to state my opinion that Greg Staab has done a great job with the sprint car (my favorite by far) division. Ditto the flagmen, announcer, RDS2 (Ron), and several others, at least from where I sit.

One part of the article giving me some pause is the note that Miller grew up watching sprints cars but admits he wanted to be Mark Donohue. Hmmm, nothing against the great Mark Donohue, but I hope he doesn't think the euro formula so successful :rolleyes: with Indy cars can do wonders for USAC competition. I've been through the rear engined sprint car experience once. It nearly killed pavement racing for a time. It took Rich Vogler and Hoffman racing to revive it. If you think the USAC faithful were less than supportive of the new and improved Silver Crown car, just wait until they get a load of euro formula sprint cars and the baggage they bring with them.

Then again, I could be wrong......been married twice......we shall see what we shall see. Just my cautiously optimistic opinion.
