I might be wrong but I do not think USAC pays out any extra money for the ISW points deal. That seems kind of BS if you ask me. Hell even the KISS Series has a point fund payout. Being ISW champ is a cool deal but there needs payout for the top 10 at the end of it all.

As far as the rule of not racing at a track that does not have a USAC race during the year? That is fine if the drivers are compensated. I do not think they are. This rule is for the benefit of USAC and does nothing for the drivers. I so wish another group would come to town and give USAC a run for their money. The poster that mentioned USAC is not a national series is right but USAC would tell you different.

Once again I might be wrong but being a USAC midget, Sprint, or SC Champ really is not paid that much at the end of the year. I think most the money is wrapped up in the overall USAC champ. Once again drivers get the short end of the stick. USAC is the only game in town for now. Hopefully that will change some day and a group that actually cares about it's drivers takes them over.

Plus Dave needs to think that this could hurt his chances in the IRL :2:

I think your missing the point.Where are all the owners and drivers that ***** about races not pay anything to win.You had a perfect chance to bring your car out NOT race against "big dollar teams" and 21 cars show up.Maybe next year it should pay 500 hundred to win,so forty cars show up.

PS Thanks to all the drivers and teams that showed up and raced

I believe there is a Sprint Week point fund.

Don't blame USAC for certain drivers not showing up last night. Everyone had to decide what is in their best interest. Was it better to stay loyal to USAC & compete for the NDC fund? Or to run an extra race in the middle of an already hectic week?

If the same 30 or so drivers that raced for a USAC Sprint Week purse that paid $5,000 to win, $425 to start & $100 tow show up at another race in the middle of Sprint Week that pays far less ($3,000 to win, $200 to start) they risk USAC losing the ability to get the larger Sprint Week purse from the existing Sprint Week promoters.

I have a question.....what has happened to TCRP?

We used to love going to North Venon.....the AMSA hasn't run there in almost two years and this season the MMSA wasn't on their schedule. They had three weekends where their own 1000cc class was listed but I'm not sure what ended up happing with those.

Don't want to hijack your topic, just curious as to why TCRP seems to have become a track for Stocks and Hornets.

This seems to come up every year, but this is the way the rule works. If a driver is competing for the USAC National Driver point fund, you cannot run a same series race within the time period or within a certain distance. Please understand that most of us would race 7 nights a week if we could. Heck, Im going to Sun Prairie Sunday after Haubstadt. But if we all showed up to a race in the middle of Sprint Week for 3K to win, why would the Sprint Week promoters pay us more? And what did the race pay for 2nd on back? I doubt it payed 425 to start. Yes, we want bigger paying races but supporting smaller paying races right in the middle of 7 bigger paying races does not help get the purses up.
