The word around the campfire for the last couple of months, has been that when the TSR midget motors are gone, the midgets would be parked. No mention has been made, at any campfire I've been to, of the fate of any other TSR cars and/or drivers.

Yes. Don't believe me when I say that no one should believe anything I or anyone else tells them to believe. That is emphatically what I believe. Believe no one source over any other at this point, because circumstances will make liars of us all. And nobody should be disbelieved more than those who claim to know a "truth" that we and others should believe.
I sense a twisted sort of glee when it comes to USAC folding on this message board.
and that is messed up.
Of course I would like to see cost lowered, tracks better prepped and racers paid more. If they go out of business, it's a moot point. (well it would lower the cost!)
If TSR is sponsored by Chevy, then of course it is in trouble.
We do not need USAC to go out of business. In my opinion we need to figure out a way to make them stronger. They have a great product they have just got to figure out how to make it work. The racing in my opinion is better than any of there competition. We all need USAC to survive and get stronger. But stronger while working with the racer, other sanctioning bodies, the promoters and the fans.

Those big "bowtie" emblems on the hoods of the midgets weren't placed there for free; Chevy was indeed, sponsoring TSR, either by supplying motors or financial assistance.
And USAC isn't going anywhere; they'll be around in 2010.....

That's the key Kevin. The product on the track is great. More work needs to be done in the "working together" department. That's on all the levels you listed. Do more of that and everybody benefits in the end.
I know I don't want them to go out of business. I go to more USAC races than anything. I want all three series to get stronger...dirt and pavement.

I agree that a strong USAC, one that works with the drivers, is a good thing. And having a serious sprint car division competitor, like they are going to have next year in Emmett Hahn, they could be forced to make the way they do things better, in order to survive. Healthy competition is always a good thing.
