The best effort I've seen promoting the Alky classes in D1 was years ago at Epping. Saturday "show", that also included, TS, TD, and wheelie trucks. The stands were full.

that's a hard NO and what should we talk about, gofundme handouts, another racer's passing that no one posts in the right forum, winter storms, sex, Californias fires, cancer?

Astute observation great one.
The reason Saturday nights at Epping are such a success is the demographic. Auto racing is an important form of entertainment in that region plus more importantly there is not a wide ranging choice of entertainment. The club that owns the facility knows this does the marketing and reaps the reward.
I thought this was obvious...... ..II..

Talk about what you know, not what you think you know!

Entry fee...how can that turn into....."This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list."

One person has derailed this thread I see. First thread I opened but logging off, no doubt the rest are just as bad. Try again tomorrow.

Two thoughts, DP, I LOVE your drive. Racing Paw-Paw's car and putting the stocker in play are exactly what I'm talking about. Doing whatever it takes to make it to the next race. You should be very proud of yourself and know I admire the sh!t outta your efforts. When you had issues at Charlotte and loaded up and tested somewhere else then came back for R1 the next morning.... commendable to say the least!

I love this stocker stuff. I've raced everything from Outlaw 10.5, T/S, T/D, Super classes, and other assorted heads up classes with decent success and I'll unequivocally say this is the most challenging thing I've tackled in racing. Going fast and making your car uber consistent using mostly 50+ year old technology and parts is an exercise in mad geniusness, fabrication, ultra tinkering, and just plain trial and error. When it all comes together it's a damn good feeling!

Thanks KA! You are my hero too. In fact you might be the first friend I ever made in stock when I parked next to you at the Charlotte National event in '23 when I was still spit balling building one in the first place. You couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating answering my flurry of questions with respect to class racing. You get "it" when it comes to class racing and drag racing more broadly. I appreciate you so much and I'll see you soon!

Here you go with your limited experience racing NHRA.
Every time I've been to Epping the Saturday Night show was packed not just the one time you are aware.
This happens at other venues also with similar demographic.

Here you go talking about what you think you know. I’ve been to Epping for the LODRS from 2018 through 2022 and it was not packed for the Saturday night show but the one year.
