In the interview that I heard, he stated that they are expanding the Sprint Bandits Tour to a series of approximately 40 races. When you consider the superior format that they use and the way these guys run a show, this has got to be great news for race fans and race teams.

We'll see how many teams can manage to run an entire season on this "superior" format that makes them run twice the amount of races they run with USAC.

Well after two pages of USAC bashing, and guessing that TSR was out of engines; did anybody notice that Tracy ran fifth Sunday night at Sun Prairie in the TSR midget?

Yeah. It really sucks to go to a race program and see every car, race for every position, in every race. Now don't get me wrong, I go to every USAC dirt race held with 200 miles of where I live, so I walk my talk when it comes to being a USAC fan and supporter. Having seen quite a few races run under this format this year, I just think USAC could learn some things from these guys.

If USAC decides to beat Hahn by putting a superior product on the track and just being better than the show that Emmett brings to town, then the fans and race teams will benefit and will love USAC all the more for it. However, if they decide to put pressure on tracks and try to stop them from scheduling Sprint Bandit events, there'll be a fan backlash, IMO. Race fans will resent anybody who tries to limit the number of marquee shows they can go to their local track and see.

I don't think the yellow #24 that Hines drove was a TSR midget.

1. the silver crown enthusiest in me wants USAC around because well, how else would there be a 49th Tony Betttenhausen 100 or 52nd Ted Horn 100
2. i love USAC but that being said. if there are means to make things better for drivers owner crew, everyone that makes the cars go round that track, and put on a good show for the fans then it would be ludicris to not chase every means possible to do so

USAC's web-site lists him in the 21 TSR midget, is this wrong?

....and if I'm not mistaken, that car belongs to Tracy and family.

I'm surprised they didn't put the 21 on it for the provisionals and owners points.
