Was there ever a full silver crown schedule. I really love the cars and always have since I was a kid. I really think somebody needs to put together a all dirt, more than a five race schedule for silver crown cars. What are your guys opinions on this idea?

Good idea. I would like to see Terre Haute back on the schedule first.

Terre Haute definitely no! Go back to running the Hulman 100 in May and the Hoosier 100 in August or September like it used to be. Bring back Syracuse. Run a show earlier in the year at Eldora before the 4crown.

I would like to see them at Toyota Speedway, Irwindale, CA Turkey Night, November 24th. Having all 3 division: the Midget, Silver Crown and Sprint Cars would be a great show (they all should be USAC races too). All divisions run 50 laps and dont count yellow laps. I think this would be the best show of the year! What better way to enjoy the Thanksgiving evening at the race track with all 3 divisions.

The tracks have to want them. The Silver Crown has high purses, and rightfully so, they should be the top of the ladder of the open wheel cars. I like them on the half miles, and there are some out there that could host them. Belleville and Des Moines come to mind. I'd like to see them at Syracuse and Sacremento again. There are also some 5/8 tracks out east if they could generate some interest. I, too, would like to see a healthier schedule, both dirt and pavement.
For those about to rock, we salute you.

Hartford would be a great addition to the dirt schedule... It's a monsterous half mile about 30 minutes from the Indiana state line.

Something or somebody needs to get silver crown cars back on the map. I'd rather see a dirt only schedule but if pavement means more racing than I'm for it.

F5 Racer, welcome to the board. You have expressed your desire for the Silver Crown division to become an all dirt series. I have a question for you what do you think the Silver Crown car owners that own only pavement cars should do with those cars if USAC were to make the Sliver Crown division a dirt only series? Correct me if I am wrong guys, don't most of the Sliver Crown teams run different cars on dirt than they do on pavement? So the pavement cars should be parked with no where to sell them and the owners are just out all the money they have invested in them; is that what you are suggesting F5 Racer?
I fall into the group that feels the Sliver Crown schedule needs to be enhanced with more races on dirt as well as pavement. I have been hoping for the past several years that USAC would bring the Sliver Crown division back to the Syracue Mile (dirt), Oswego Speedway (pavement), Richmond (pavement), Phoenix International (pavement) and while I haven't made it to the new dirt track in Phoenix yet hopes are high all three USAC divisions will be running there in the future.

I would just like to see it more on dirt. I don't care as long as these cars just plain get more races. Maybe split the series? I would like to get into racing silver crown one day but I know I won't be able to afford two cars. Like I said before as long as the series gets the respect and effort put into it that they deserve I would be happy. I think these cars are just so cool. I will making it to my silver crown race at duqoin in a couple weeks. I hope that I love them even more seing them in person.
