Default Re: Thinking about this in depth.......

A reason why the stands are empty, no track promotion, owners evidently satisfied with the racer's gate. Another is the demographic, the '50's thru the early '70's muscle car era has morphed into econo boxes, stereos, graphics, drifting.

The "Sunday-Sunday-Sunday" radio ads are no more. When we raced the last D4 divisional in Noble, Ok, the local paper had "things-to-do-this weekend" from Pumpkin parades to art festivals in and around Norman and Noble, but nary a mention of "the drags"....wouldn't take much to call the paper

Evidently Pat @ No Problem has it figured out with fans standing along the fence 3 & 4 deep at times

One bracket-to-class difference, in my opinion, is generally class cars are a Car Show in Motion, while brackets contain a fair amount of "cosmetically challenged" and "performance suspect poppers".....hey, and that's OK for the brackets and not dissin' them for racing what you have....but it is a difference
