Could not make the meeting, but it was nice to hear that it took place. One thing I have been saying for YEARS is the biggest thing NHRA "Sportsman" racing is lacking is EDUCATION of the fans to allow them to better understand what this type of racing is all about. I dont care what "Sportsman" class you race if the fans are unfamiliar with how the race is run then they will NEVER become interested. Most of the casual fans that show up to national events are there only to see the nitro cars anyway, but there are a TON of things NHRA could be doing to build excitement for "Sportsman" racing and even convert some of the fans into racers themselves.
