Encourage? Most definitely. That's the promoter's job!

In fact, NHRA allows "professional" racers (think Pro-Stock multi-time national champion Jeg Caughlin and others) to compete against "Sportsman" racers. Does that practice seem equitable to you? Should Tiger Woods be allowed to compete on the same level playing grounds in the amateur tournaments?
What does Pro Stock have to do with Stock or Super Stock? They are different disciplines. This is like allowing Tiger Wood to compete in a croquet tournament.

I'm one that does look at the bigger picture, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the same one as you. What exactly are you defining as problems and solutions?
