Re: How do we promote sportsman type racing?
As posted above, seperating the Pros from the Sportsman ranks might help. Most spectators just don't understand the class racers and the staggered starts and bracket racing style eliminations.
Anyway, I had this wild idea at the NMCA race in August at Beech Bend. I watched a very popular class called Nostalgia Super Stock and it was pretty neat. There were over 70 of those cars at the track. it was a index format but still cool to see those ol' cars.
Wouldn't it be cool if there was an "exhibition" class for all class racers at the NMCA events to allow the spectators who are not familiar with class cars to see these machines up close ? Could be a combo race format or other type elimination.
Anyway, it probably won't happen but it would be neat to combine the 2 types of racers at the same event and get some more exposure for the class racers.
Just my .02c.
