Could ISW happen without USAC?

KISS seems to work w/o big brother... Pay the money and the racers will show up...

Dont tell me you think USAC wont run against it if they are not sanctioning it. Without them you have.......a weeklong KISS. Anyone remember NAMARS 5-crown. After it became popular USAC decided to run out of state that week.....no more NAMARS 5-crown.

Now USAC has made it smaller and worse.!

Posting in response to the origional post without having read any other response. SPRINT WEEK STARTED WITHOUT USAC by the promotors, It was winged the first couple years, The crowds were nothing like they are now and the payoff wasn't even close.

I ask again, whats so bad about it? They ain't point races for the regulars of the track so its not like they are forced too run it. My guess is they run it to run against THE BEST.

The only possible changed I'd make is make it five heats of eight and take three transfers. Id also make qualifying for heat lineups only and feature lineup on passing points to stop the SAFE TRANSFER in second place not really trying to get the lead, Because they get their qualifying spot back anyway.

I just fail to see what USAC brings to the table, except more hands on your billfold, does it make the event any more prestigious, I don't think so, at one time maybe, but not lately, most people go away with the added cost factor on their minds, and, the same racing they coulda had without the extra cost, it doesn't make any more appeal to me, I know when we run as a "loss looser" with them, it hits in the wallet, and we don't see any extra in our payout. JMHO, I'm not a really die hard anything, except solitare, now that gets me shook up! Bob

Not smaller. 3 of the top 5 car counts from all Indiana races have been ISW.

The people who are not competing or attending during ISW... Are the folks making it worse.

ok hang on.....like I posted originally, Im not trying to really ruffle any feathers, I have no axe to grind....I think this week is the greatest week of the year, just like you do, and yes it is wildly successful..aside from
TQ29m, I think you all may be missing the point....What is it that USAC brings to the show? (so far, I have heard organization/scheduling and some kinda sponsorship)....I just wanna know what does USAC bring to the party?

Really makes no sense to me to try to radically change a event that has grown to SRO crowds to suit what you want.

if it weren't for usac, a lot of the now local stars would still be in cali, et al, so yeah it could be done with a third (or less) of the top racers
