I thought the SC cars put on a pretty good show at Salem when they ran there. 100 inch wb with a 355 makes a stable car that puts some race into the joint other than just a follow the lead speed contest. Raceway Park was a good show. That could be another 500 activity other than putting them on the big track. They have to headline and running them in a dual show with sprints or midgets kinda waters down the excitement because they both usually run faster.

I sort of remember a time not too many years ago when the Silver Crown cars were running the larger speedways.
Seems someone did a test at Nashville and thought the cars wouldn't hold up or something. Nashville always sold out on Indy Car races before the event was dropped from the schedule. Would have been a great venue for the Silver Crown cars, with lots of new fans to be made. Is there anyway to have a car really similar to the current cars that could run on tracks like the larger asphalt with out a total redesign like before, possibly convertible to dirt? |

Absolutely AMAZING that ARCA could get a reschedule date for their race that was cancelled today yet USAC wasn't.
Don't give me the promoter can't/won't angle because Track Enterprises does the promoting for the mile tracks. They are the ones keeps the dirt miles in operation for the Silver Crown cars. This debacle lies directly at the feet of USAC. If USAC hadn't continually screwed with a good product the series wouldnt be in the shape it is now. |

Can you imagine what it would sound like on a Silver Crown start at Indy, coming down the front stretch. Has anyone ever tested a SC car there?

Back in the late 50s the Dirt Champ Cars, or as the newbies call them; Silver Crown Cars, ran at Daytona Int Speedway. Although a couple of guys were lost, the race was awesome!! These cars were never meant for half miles, but the run great at Williams Grove.
Give the Big Cars a chance' they still could be the cars of the future!! |

Already saw that on USAC.com, Tim. What I am saying is this: ARCA can work with Track Enterprises to get a rain date, why can't USAC? Why couldn't ARCA, USAC and Track Enterprises work together to get a weekend at Du Quoin for the races?
