Flyin Ryan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Too many series and this is just survival of the fittest. If you have a good series that provides its competitors what it wants, you'll be fine going into the future. The ones that don't will just fade away.

Disagree with this as well. What these guys do is they provide a nice measuring stick for the young up-and-comers coming up. Plus for those guys they are financially stable and up car counts and competition.

mountainstar: I think what that part of the sport needs to do is rediscover it's roots when you had an easy to understand formula like Formula Ford 1600 and whoever wanted to could build a car to the rules. And it was so popular you could pretty much run just about every weekend somewhere. Everyone knew who the best drivers were because they all had a chance to compete with one another.
That still exists, it's called USAC plus several upon several "outlaw" series running to just about the same rulesets that you can transfer from one to the other with no problem and there's races over large sections of the country almost every weekend plus some mid-week that you could race maybe 80-100 times a year no problem, and it has multiple chassis builders and multiple engine builders. But you hate USAC. Late models and modifieds too which provide the same thing in certain parts in the country. This kind of goes back to the forming consensus on this thread, people go to where the racing provides them the best value for their dollar for what they want to do.
