Rumors/talk going around at the fall nationals was Alan never owned the GSC series he was trying to selling to Dan. John Padjen owns the GSC series/name. The Padjen/Handy can only answer their part of why GSC didnt sell. Dan can only answer what he know why it didnt go thru. I dont think Dan backed out if he's still continuing to promote the 410 racing. If you attended the GSC banquet that Dan held at his place and paid for it all, didnt charge one person to attend (a normal GSC banquet to attend cost $40 per person) you would have thought Alan sold/turned the whole GSC series over to Dan. Dan's facility Goodyear signs hanging, Chalk board GOLDEN STATE CHALLENGE SERIES written on it. How could you not think Dan is taking it over if you attended the banquet.
The main thing, it doesnt matter if the series is GSC or King of the West Sprints, what matters, can we still race 410's in California and someone like Dan is trying to keep it going. Drivers, car owners, fans need to support Dan.
ASCS is a good thing in California. Emmett Hahn knows how to promote, look at the Chili Bowl, Tulsa Shootout, and ASCS very successful series/racing.
JMO i cant see two 410 series in California either GSC or KWS.
from Crofts post, "I personally think it's time for a change in both classes!!" I think a lot of drivers, car owners, fans are thinking the same.

one other thing i heard Emmett Hahn say was that promoters need to start learning how to do more than be gate openers. lol.
to indy and beyond!!

i have no information on this but, i think the Gold Cup will be an ASCS race in about 3 yrs. the Outlaws have signed for 2011. and Handy going ASCS by 2011 just seems he would switch.

I dont think its a done deal that Handy will be exclusively ASCS by 2011. It sounds like it will be more in 2012.
"A transition period for this change will take place with a final phase in date in the 2012 racing season to be announced."
