The champions always move on or retire yet it continues and is still the best racing in the overall scheme of things. it also makes it more incentive for locals to run the shows when they could crack the top five possibly and not hope to crack the top ten

In either discipline they're going to have to compete against top teams. While each takes huge sums of money to run full time. It's still probably half to run USAC. I've seen many leave and basically not be able to continue due to fundage. Not finishing well getting fired because either the car owner sees someone else as better or someone else can bring backing.

I got no idea who HAR will hookup with or if. All I know is that Rob said it was his desire to at least make the 100 mark. And I couldn't tell you even if I did until they release the info themselves.. Several guys out there that would like to try full time or all full time USAC but need more to be competitive.
Wasn't Bacon basically renting the Hoffman name?

I got no idea how the deal worked. HAR may buy the rollers.


What I meant was twice the cost. Rebuild are at least twice as fast, maybe three times more often Winged. Fuel. A winged car easily uses a third more. They don't even run 25 lappers at Knoxville anymore for reg shows. While they may be using the same motors in usac, They're torque curve is different and if your woo or HL your travel is a ton more than usac.
