Looking over their schedule it appears they make a stop at Big Diamond on Wednesday June 25 on the Great Northern Tour. It is a mid week show and the USAC show there got VERY dusty, but might be worth checking out.

Hooray for USAC!!!!!!
From the USAC web site it looks like the New Generation Silver Crown cars are being garaged for the 2008 season pending “evaluation and re-design”. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling all over. It seems USAC is returning to the traditional pavement car run in the recent past.
The Copper Classic on dirt!?! Is it real? Could this be a return to USAC’s dirt roots? I for one hope so. I also hope they find a market for USAC racing here in Pennsylvania. It would make me happy seeing the Silver Crown cars run again on dirt without having to travel 500 miles to do so.

Came across a link to this as yet unrelased film. It looks quite interesting. The sound of those monster V8 engines is great and acualy seeing the CANAM cars driven in anger, I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. It looks like it is due to be released in January 2008. Here’s a couple of links.
