Randy I honestly believe some of the attraction week in and week out at the round track is the time a race takes to run. Many laps, many changes of leader, many bumps and grinds. People like the action. The lower cost classes due to rules keeps the racers coming back. I believe the best 2 of 3 of the old "booked in show" was an attraction for Stk and SS. If the announcer kept up with the cars in a heads up show the people could also enjoy coming back to see it.
I remember one Stk 56 chevy I watched every week at Indy to see how far he got and think others would pick a favorite to watch also.
Sure looks like it would be hard to get people to accept saving money by fixing the rules if they had to give up their current rules and habits.
