Old days USAC was dirt & pavement, run a midget, then a sprint car, then Silver Crown as a ladder with national implications when you got to the top of your game. Is the be all, for all, the problem? ....
I have also wondered the same thing, but if a change was made would the traditionalist accept it. It is obvious that the sprint cars are the top class in USAC. The midgets have moved firmly into position two with Silver Crown in the rear.
Would you only drop the Silver Crown and give more dates to the Sprints and Midgets? Would you drop both the Silver Crown and Midgets and concentrate solely on spring cars?
Remember that if you do not protect the midgets that POWRi could become the national midget series and take the dates and cars.
Finally, for all of you silver crown fans upset that they are at the bottom of the list all you have to do is look at the competitive series going against silver crown...... If USAC drops silver crown, the series goes off into the sunset.
