What is USAC's view on co-sanctioned races?

One of the problems with a co-sanctioned event is which organization's rules are being used. Since it was a USAC points race, decisions made under the POWERi rules that differed from USAC's rules could have impacted competitors in their chase for the points championship -- like parking Ricky Stenhouse Jr., in the semi. (Not transferring cost him points in USAC standings that meant nothing in the POWERi standings, since he was not chasing that championship

Don't you think this could happen with ANY co-Sanction ? Let's Say Badger is co-sanctioning an event with USAC at Angell Park and it's a points race for both clubs. USAC officials are running the show and they park (Example) Davey Ray who is running for the Badger Title. It doesn't affect him with USAC points, BUT hurts him in his run for the Badger championship.

Usually if a driver is parked, it is for a pretty good reason, whoever would do it, USAC, BADGER OR POWRI . You make it only seem that if it happens to a USAC driver, it is bad, It is bad anytime a driver gets parked from any sanctioning body.

AGAIN, I think all the midget sanctions need to work together and have several co-sanctioned events trough-out the year. AND whoever the main Sanctioning body at that given race , should use their officials or at least their director of competition and use that sanctioning bodies rules.
