Read on Syracuse.com that multi time Oswego Speedway Champion Greg Furlong will be running a Riley Built Silver Crown Car owned by Jim Paternoster.

Pretty cool
Think there will be a formal announcement soon - there's some last minute sponsor tweaking
This arrangement also allows Greg to run the O Classic on Labor Day and try for a first ever '3 in a row' Classic Wins
Now let's see if Mr Syracuse -Muccii- joins in
btw: From the Syracuse.com article
Paternoster said he'll use a standard Chevrolet small-block, alcohol fuel-injected engine of 355 cubic-inches in the new car. But that may be replaced in 2007 by a Toyota V-8 similar to the one currently used in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck series.
Toyota Racing Developments, which has made it known it intends to seek car owners to employ its truck V-8 in 2007 Silver Crown racing, next year is aiming to replace Ford's four-cylinder midget engine in USAC's national championship midget car series.Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati -
Greg Furlong will be a great addition to the pavement SC scene.

Bob East has built many of the old style Silver Crown cars. He has been opposed to the new generation car and I therefore doubt he has built any. Since only the new generation cars will be at all future pavement races I doubt that there will be a Beast in the field at Phoenix.Dwight ClockComment

I'd be shocked if there was a Beast Silver Crown car at Phoenix. I had heard that Hmiel was going to run some midget races though so that could be the Beast he is driving at Phoenix.
As far as Hmiel's SC ride, that may be one of the entries in limbo as the engine specs are sorted out.Dan Schlosser

Wasn't that what several on here said about 6R racing. (Or was that our old friend Heywood may he RIP god I sure miss him) Bob will someday quit pouting over not getting his palm greased over the prototype, and will start building them and if not to bad for him. Looks like the Silver Crown Series survived with out the Watson, Kurtis, Shores, and countless others who made money off this division and for what ever reason quit building cars. Eight confirmed teams, and about 6 in the strong rumor stage.
I thought the engine specs were status quo? Same as they have been running? Hmiel's SC ride was going to be with the C & R bunch, but NASCAR said not at any of the co sanction races with them. Only the stand alone, and the IRL events so he got passed on. But I may be wrong, that’s the rumor I heard at the PRI show.Originally posted by gofastturnleftThe 2006 Silver Crown Champ will be aFormer USAC Champion!Comment

There were only 10 cars in the race...Originally posted by Boo
If Bob has any business sense, he'll build the new car. Of course, if he had said business sense he would have been building them already. With all these new builders, the teams are going to go for a proven name and that's Bob East. He could be raking in the bank right now.Originally posted by Sprint CarComment
