So I know I have made it known many times, that i LOVE the silver Crown cars. What would it take to build the series what do you guys think? I would love to find a way to bring back Syracuse, bring back the Hulman, bring back the Sumar, go back to Knoxville, Memphis, Gateway, hell maybe a second date at Duquoin, Springfield, Eldora... And dont give me this schedualing BS what says that when the sprinters open their season in April you can't make that a double show, add the sprints or Midgets with them so you keep events... dont schedual a sprint show at the burg when you know their gonna be running at Springfield same day, if you still want a sprint date that day, their always talking about increasing their turn out, Morgan County aint far, neither is Farmer City, or Danville... I've gone from Springfield to Danville in one day, and made it in time for Qualifying back when me and my dad ran the parts shack back in the late ninties earlier part of the decade... Duquoin same deal, granite city's not far, Highland, hell the Wednesday show at Macon for the Midgets, make it a joint PowerI USAC show, i know all this is easier said than done, but hell if i wasnt stuck here in the A hole of the world I'd be up to do whatever it took thats how much i love these cars:30:

Bring up the payout from the bottom up and you will see a lot of interest and cars ,with the cars come the fans it's a simple fix for champ and sprint cars both.

I'd love to see more Silver Crown races, double headers is were it's at. Schedule more, more people come, the more money you can give

Wouldn't it be awesome if, after paying a driver, you could come close to breaking even on your variable costs (like methanol, fuel for the truck, tires, entry fees) from A-main start money? Maybe there would be more guys who would like to be involved in racing actually putting cars together and putting drivers in those cars.

Calling Dave Rudisell, bring 'em to the Burg. The back straight is no narrower then Syracuse, and you have the widest turns in dirt racing. I say bring'em on.

Lincoln Speedway is only 25 minutes from Springfield. I'm thinking USAC sprint & midget show! How cool would that be after the mile. Three classes one day.

As much as I love the crown cars and I love lawrenceburg, that would be an abysmal failure. Those cars are way too long & heavy to be very racy on a tacky 'burg-they'd be lucky to get them to turn until the track slicked off. That said, I'd probably be there just out of curiousity!
