You guys produce so many quality sprint car compilations with slow mo and good tunes. Why does the most prestigious racing series of all time just get a basic highlight reel?
+Glec Gaming nah, I think what Josh is referring to, is that the Silver Crown Series doesn't get the music and video effects treatments that loudpedal is known for with the regular sprint car videos. And I agree, the Silver Crown cars were the most prestigious of the three USAC series, and were once the "mandatory" stepping stone to an Indy ride in years past, but now the series doesn't seem to rate it's own prestige any more!
@@Rob_Moilanen - Australian here! Why is that? Why would not rate the same prestige as years gone past. I know all the greats of years past have raced in this as a steping stone to an Indy ride, but is it because they're recruting more and more of the Indy and even f1 drivers from Carting scene, than from the dirt Open Wheel classes? I don't know for sure, but I know Will Power (an Aussie himself) and an Indy driver of some great note, had his start racing in the Carting class, and many, many Euro f1 drivers started their racing carreer's there, is that the new "stepping stone" to an Indy ride these days? And therefor Silver Crown Class has had a drop in it's own prestige? I don't know. Anyone out there know?
@@karlmuller3690 pretty much how its gone, it used to be it was midgets, then on to Sprint cars, then the silver crown cars, then onto an indy ride. But these days it doesn't happen like the old days. Drivers can come from anywhere, if they have money behind them as well as the talent, they've got an Indy ride. No more working up through the ranks, those days are long gone.
@@Rob_Moilanen - But doesn't the "talent" come first, then the $$$ ? I would have thought that would be the first consideration of an Indy Car Team or Car owner, was the talent of his prospective drivers, and that if a driver could handle an open wheel car in the dirt AND the pavement, as they must in the Silver Crown (though I prefer them far more on the dirt) would he not have more than proven his worth as a "wheel man"?

If you go to their website you can pay for a membership to watch the entire race
