silver crown schedule?

I am from New Jersey. There are a couple of tracks in PA and NJ that would work great with Silver Crown Cars. One would be Bridgeport Speedway in South Jersey. A 5/8 mile with sweeping turns. Another would be Selinsgrove Speedway.

I think they ran at Williams Grove many years ago? Id love to see them do an all dirt series Champ,after all they are called Championship Dirt Cars! Do a separate pavement series and Champ like the Sprint Cars did this season.

I'm all for running on dirt and pavement, running tracks like Richmond, Pheonix, IRP, Iowa are a great way to expose NAPCAR fans to a great form of racing... What about Bristol? Tell me that wouldn't be spectacular...

Quick reply? not sure i can make this quick. a few years back i got the chance to help on a silver crown team and really enjoyed the chance. i got to travel to alot of tracks that i had never seen only heard about. this went on for a bunch of years and in my eyes the car counts were strong and there were plenty of drivers around. And the some IDIOTS came up with the gold crown series that was the end of the silvercrown division. it has never returned to it`s rightful spot at the top of USAC racing.....whats the answer? can it be fixed? i dont know but it will take a small miracle.

The best thing you can do right now is buy a ticket and go to the races on the schedule! Then hope for the economy to improve. You're going to like your first trip to DuQuoin. I recommend watching the first sets of hot laps from the bleachers in turn one close to the track.

I like this topic. I have wished for the return of the hoosier 100 in september for ever. I never got a chance to go to it. But i am still hoping. The racing around the state is not what i wish it could be after august I wish usac to add two dirt races and a few pavement races. If you like the silver crown division you have to like both cars. They are so neat to watch. Race eldora more then at the 4 crown. Race at raceway park in june or july. This division was the premier division at one time for usac. I don`t know why they have hurt it but as long as they do not kill it. Maybe thing will change.

i would be happy if they ran 100 miles again,without a restroom break.

OK, I've seen them at Syracuse, Terre Haute, Springfield , Duquoin,(Where if your a Champ Dirt Car fan) you will be next Sunday, no excuses.IRP, Illiana,Eldora,Stafford Springs,Oswego, in the past 10 years. I like the balanced schedule. I also which they'd run more.

The Grove again, Syracuse if possible, The Burg, and Rolling wheels in NY. It would be a great joint to watch them run. As for Bristol forget it, they drew 14 cars to Salem years ago.

USAC should be pushing this series with all they have. It s the only exclusive series they run. Nobody else has them, and they are the direct line to the start of auto racing in this country.But as stated earlier , somebody has gut to want to see them.

I'd also like to thank Bob Sargeant for sticking his neck out in keeping the miles alive. There aren't that many left.

I would hope to see Terre Haute in 2012. I was at the race this
year with less than stellar results. Run the show in the evening.
I'll bring my buddies who prepare the track at Sun Prairie to the
show. Springfield,Du Quoin & Eldora are usually the shows I attend.
Best Regards,
John

Would love to see them back at Illiana. I also agree with Koolaid89 that a race at Hartford (MI) Motor Speedway would be awesome. The clay / dirt track at Hartford in insanely huge. More like a 5/8's mile then 1/2 mile.
Tracks I think should always be on the Silver Crown Schedule:
Indiana State Fairgrounds
Terre Haute Action Track
Eldora Speedway
Milwaukee Mile
Richmond Int'l Raceway
Syracuse Mile
IRP / ORP / LORP
Phoenix Int'l Raceway
Springfield Mile
DuQuoin Mile

Tracks that would be a great addition to those above
Illiana Motor Speedway
Toyota Speedway ay Irwindale
Toledo Speedway
Hartford Motor Speedway
Belleville High Banks
Williams Grove Speedway
Bridgeport Speedway
Bristol Motor Speedway

ALSO what about a race at the famed Martinsville Speedway; in Martinville, Virginia. Now that would be a cool race!
