Default Re: How would you SAVE CLASS RACING ???

Good Ideas Bernie. Maybe we need to open mindedly look at our strengths and weaknesses.
What People Like. I know they like the old cars. I know they like the new cars. I have both. One can't help but notice the age difference on the new car fans. Quite a bit younger. We offer a pretty good car show in addition to going down the track. People like door cars with the wheels in the air. And there is a lot more. What people probably don't understand is leaving at different times and putting the brakes on at the end. If a person was just there for an outing, you can understand how that is a hard-to-understand issue. Look at pinks. Lot of good cars, lot of other cars, but heads up, and don't sandbag and fill the stands. But as a racer to go to a race with 450 participants and only 16 or 32 get to race is a challenge. In our present form we are probably a hard sell. Maybe some heads up stuff to headline our classes or whatever. Index classes such as in Div 2 this year still involve putting on the brakes, but it is heads up. I think NSS has that format also. And I'm sure there are other ideas and comments.
