Very much agree
Love the independent S/SS Associations.
They put the fun factor back into racing.
Some ideas
Have two heats a day. More fun more runs.
Good opportunity to sell Pure Stock to attract new racers.
The Chevy SS, G8, Dodges, Mustangs are becoming more affordable.
Great way to mentor new racers.
Ask IHRA, AHRA, NMCA to share race Dates or assist the Associations.
Run the S/SS Association as a separate Eliminator
Develop a Cross-Share Point System
Incentive to race two or three different Association races.
Especially if they are within a 4 hour driving window.
Start posting Track Class Records.
Nothing like Bragging Rights, most tracks have scales.
Also helps the Announcer peek interest with Spectators.
Have Ad hoc Heads-Up Challenges like an A/SA vs an SS/FA
Two Racers challenging each other who may have near performance capability !
Organize a few Division or National style Meets.
One thing that is lacking is better Marketing and Advertisement.
Post the races in National Newspapers and Periodicals.
Should be no cost as Associations are Non-profit.
Papers Like Hits on their sites.
All about the Fun !
