The Bowling Green, Music city area is one thing. Cars are there and enjoy it. My only observation is what is different from the current NHRA deal. Same rules, Same track, no sponsors, self pay racing and still the dial in racing.Another Participant program. The issues are the same just different location, no complaining as it is a place to race but no major changes or long range planning just tracks providing a location for same racing , same rules.
Not complaining just an observation. Dave Ley doing something different? I doubt it guys just having a place to race in their area more often with organized payout methods. A parallel series of Same rules, cars and better support for S and SS racing by the racers. Still a participant supported program.
I feel to grow, acquire sponsors again, acquire spectator appeal, Sportsman racing needs some % of return to racing that got people involed to begin with. Heads up as a constant part of the program.Brand conflict. This might not include all people or cars but it could bring benefits to ALL who like Sportsman racing by increasing recognition.
Biggest draw backs, Money invested by all with current rules, Habit patterns and fixed thinking.
