"We don't run class at every event and as far as national events that number is getting even smaller."
Thats my point, they way its going is not looking good for class racing.

"Like it or not the system set by the HRA's is a handicap start dial in race. "
How is this showing the public what we are all about. Watching class cars now is just a bracket race according to your statement.

"It gives any competitor a chance at winning because it evens the playing field"
So does Pinks when you have to run all out and then get grouped with like ET's

"The excitement is watching another car try to run you down or vice versa at the stripe without going too fast."
You are correct except for the part about not going to fast

"If you want to educate the average person on what we do' you have to show them how we do it."
At Div and Nats all your showing them is a bracket race.
At Pinks you will be with thousands of people showing off your car and the amount of stock parts to go fast. With out a doubt they would play out the rivalry of all 3 brands and how we as drivers can make these cars go fast. That would be very interesting to anyone watching im sure.

"But don't expect to get picked and race for the money because there is less than a 10% chance you do. "
I dont expect to win at Pinks or at an races. All I can do is try my best and win. Besides this is not all about one person winning I thought this was about showing the public what we are as a whole and also try and get some cash and prizes.

Show me and anyone else reading this thread a better way to educate and promote class cars and Im sure people would jump in to support you.
Have you checked your pole lately. I do see interest in this venue dont you?
