Re: How competitive are you?

That was right in lines with what I was going to say. I have a few friends who race and some even own shops dealing with circle track. Some spend a ton of money while other spend little in comparison. Most money is spent on repairs from trading paint. Circle track is very popular around my area. Somebody is related to or friends with someone that races. The little town has nothing better to do other then go to the races usually for entertainment.(I live in that town lol).
In drag racing we spend gobs of money to find 5hp or gain less then a tenth of a second in one straight acceleration burst. While the circle trackers don't care about 15 HP has it can be made up easily in one corner.
In the end circle track is different then drag racing and attracts different fans. Spec engine classes aren't a terrible idea but its not the end all solution either. I don't think the NHRA needs more classes. If your looking for local stuff look for what is happening in your local scene that's going to get racers and their friends and family in the seats.
