I missed the "live" show last night, and picked up the re-run this afternoon, today, Sep 26th. Glad to see that Dave Steele, in talking about the new "SC" cars for next year, more or less backs up what I've been saying all along, about Bob East not being interested in the new class. Bob told me this a year ago while on top of the media center at Nazareth. Thanks, Dave!
Much more interesting was that Dave was talking as if he intends to be in the new cars next year. He also noted a very important point that was more than evident this weekend at Eldora, the current owners have softened their stance considerably. Not running the USAC Silver Crown division would be worse for most of them than running USAC with the new generation cars. As much as they have not been behind this new car at times, their desire to remain in the series will win out eventually for many of them.
Right now the owners are not the ones holding up the process it sounds like. The chassis builders need to get some rolling stock done so the owners can make decisions based on more than just the CAD drawings.
