What if someone like, say, Foxco, wants to continue to run for KISS titles, and MSCS shows, they would then have to keep using the same 3-4 cars a year that they currently use for those races, and then, buy a some USAC cars to compete in that series? That would total 6 or more frames per year. You don't think that would hurt car counts and fan support on the USAC dirt shows?

What Sam is talking about is the car count. If you had to have a combo frame to run a USAC dirt race I think it would kill the car count.

its scary that you two don't get it! We raced cars like that for 80+ years if you want to run usac for more money you will get a usac spec car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If not race for & $70o or $1000 to win! And usac needs to quit racing so much in ind. There are tracks all over the usa! The world don't end at terre haute or eldora!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its not the 35.00 fee thats got my goat. its the 800.00 fee to run the champ car and you only want to run 3 to 4 of the 5 pavement races. would run more if they had some not so far away.

The money to register a Silver Crown car is nuts, I know some guys who just want to run the dirt miles and they didn't get their cars out last year.

The best reason I can tell you about in the case of Tom Hunt is he plays favorites. If you are one of USAC's golden boys the rules no longer apply. Here is my example:
1996 Turkey Night was on dirt. It was at Perris Auto Speedway. The finsih of the race was Billy Boat - Robby Flock - Ronnie Day. They all lined up on the front straight. I was standing right there when USAC came over with their rear axle measuring tool to see if anyone had their car to wide. Robby Flock was the first to get measured and was to wide, he was then told to go to tech area and eventually was DQ'd. Ronnie Day was next and was okay. Then Billys' car was checked and it was to wide, he was told to go to tech. Robby's crew went to tech, Billy's crew pushed their car to their pit. A lot of yelling went on about it. I believe that Ronnie Day should have one that race, but USAC had a golden boy on his way to Indy and no one was stopping that from happening. Including Tom Hunt who was there and in the middle of it.
