My advice is to attend one of these if you can. Rich Christensen has certainly hit on something when he can get ordinary car buffs into the stands to watch our junk run. His logic is common sense, you must have something to sell in order to attract fans. In his case it 's attitude and drama which he can build off the racers, cars, and fans.

There's no way around it. Class racing (even sportsman drag racing in general) in it's present form does not nor ever will have the fan appeal of PINKS format.

I agree when was the last time anyone saw 25,000 people pay $30.00 a head to watch a bunch of class racers ??? my .02
