[QUOTE=Lynn Hoosigian;129417]EXCELLENT idea!!!!
We've explained throttle stop racing to some spectators ourselves and it's true - once they understand it, they respect how hard it is!! Showing clips explaining would be best way to get to more than 1 or 2 spectators!![/Q

Lynn,you guys are in the same boat as us S/SSers.The fan of today could care less about us or our cars.They aren't car people anymore.They're thrill seekers in general.Noise,flames,crashes,autographs.
We've been bouncing this around in the S/SS section for years now.The only spectators here in Div 1 at division's are ourselves,friends and those who come to see the booked in pro mod/or whatever show.
We don't do it for money,most of us anyway,just for fun and the great people we get to meet.
I drove 4 1/2 hours to run at Beaver Springs at the York Reunion.It was the most fun I've ever had with my pants on.attended the York Reunion at the fairgrounds on fridayAll the nostalgia races are looking better every year.No pressure for points,good people,good racing and fans that are attuned to the cars.
Just my 1 1/2 cents,the economy is bad.
