USAC has 13 of their cars at Eagle... I sometimes tell FISH stories but 13 appears to be the only # between 12-14? 13 USAC + 6 local for a total of 19.

Chris Nunn reports there are 33 cars at Bloomington, and I think all you mention are there.
Tracy Hines sets Fast Time over Cockrum Stockon Darland Mellenberndt Clauson Grant Schuerenberg Stanbrough Andretti Windom Bacon Leary Kadous Rost Brewer Schriever Stevenson. Moore no time.
This is the devil's agreement USAC has made with the idea they can count on local Indiana cars to support a so-called national series, when these guys can travel less than 100 miles and find a good place to compete, why go to Nebraska. More money, more prestige, more marketing, and appropriate amounts of media coverage to entice sponsorship and people in the stands. You have to stand out; no wings, no side covers, see the drivers, set yourself apart from a winged group that looks like modifieds on parade.
