Unfortunately (and it pains me to say this) the average spectator DOES get more excited watching T/S (Probably not T/D though...who could get excited about an engine on a stick). Not all spectators at the races the last several years even know what a stocker or S/S is as far as rules go. The demographics are getting younger every year. They just like the fast Pro Stock looking cars running 6 and 7 second at over 200 MPH. Handicap starts that are no different than the S/S and stockers. Wahtch the crowd the next time you are where some quality cars of each catagory are running.
