Listen to D.O Monday night and I am sure you will get all the latest.

One thing not mentioned often here is that tbe NEW Gold Crown car is a redesign of the NEW Silver Crown car that flopped. A bunch of people invested money in them and USAC is now trying to salvage something with the Gold Crown research. The sheet of paper for the Gold Crown was not blank before they started work. And, there's no guarantee that what they come up with will fly anyway.

So it has the driver over the driveshaft because they're trying to update the design of the previous SC car?

That's a shame.. back in 2004 or so when the new SC was just announced, I sent an email to R&S asking if it would be a lower-offset roadster style, and they said no.
