I can't help you there, Jim P. couldn't make it either, but was going to try to get in via conferance call. Don't know how that turned out though.
"Where there's a will, there's a way." My "friend" learned about it at the PRI show and made travel plans after. |

Interestingly, the Membership Renewal forms weren't distributed at the PRI show, but were mailed and signed by none other than Owen Snyder. At least the owners got them. " Where there's a will there's a way." NOT all owners live in Indiana. Many live more than 5 - 12 hours away, including the owner of which I speak. It would have been impossible for him to find out the time and location of a meeting on Monday morning and get there in time from where he lives. So what's wrong with mail, e-mail or telephone call in advance? Plus, his "will" has been diminishing with the continuing BS over the last several years. I think he will be another one selling out in favor of a new vacation home on the lake. Why put up with the BS? If you wonder why there are so many drivers looking for rides, ask the owners why they don't want to be involved anymore. Do they want their axx wiped? No, but they do expect the common courtesy of letting them know when something is being discussed of importance to the "Club" that they pay $500/year for the privilege of being a member (sic). |

Back to the original point -- It's the same old USAC BS. They forged ahead with the new style pavement cars without the input of all of the owners, and now they are starting anew again without input from all of the owners. It is a sorry state of affairs for a "Club" to ignore its membership. |

Sounded like "New Generation" car owners only.

Not too much info divulged on the show. The new cars are here to stay and the old pavement cars, though not dead, are in limbo. Six dirt shows on the schedule. They weren't named but should be Manzy, Hoosier Hundred, Springfield, Duquoin, Eldora, and ?. On the pavement side Darlington has been announced and I noticed that Iowa Speedway has them on the schedule for August 10. More, I'm sure, to follow.

Meeting was for New Gen car owners although some others attended. My flights were cancelled I attended via conference call. USAC will release details of the meeting.

Also sounded like the sprint schedule is what it is. Midgets too. I was hoping for a couple more sprint pavement shows. I believe Staab's quote was "...unless Jason can pull a couple of rabbits out of his hat". Oh well. At least we get to run Winchester more than once.

I am SOOOOO glad the new cars are sticking around. It gives me something to give USAC grief about everytime I am at a USAC race. Never thought I'd see a day when an openwheel car had fenders on them. |
