Maybe someone can explain how they did it 25 plus years ago. I remember the Summer Nationals in Englishtown New Jersey approximately 128 Stockers almost that many Super Stock with pits so packed they made sure you were exactly on you pit line. With a 4 day event we had 2 rounds qualifying on Thursday 2 rounds qualifying on Friday and 1st round on Saturday. Not to mention the packed Pro pits with a midway that you could buy anything plus,you could bring a broken part to get fixed or manufacturers could test and diagnose an issue that a racer might have. I don't remember how they did class at that event,but they didn't beg guys to come to the lanes and the Dragracing was just constant cars running down the track.
I think we need to do our part to speed things up especially 1st round to find our opponent and get up to the staging lanes.
Like putting National Records in National Dragster,,someone just decided we don't need it anymore.
