Unfortunately, Mr. Asher presents a myopic view with regard to the current fan base associated with NHRA events.

There won't be twenty people that attend to watch Factory Stock when assigned a premier role at future events.

The relationship of vehicle make or model and attendee is fall less incumbent on a passion for performance automobiles and much more so a quest for an entertainment spectacle and the commensurate value proposition.

Easy to determine. Promote extensively and hold a Factory Stock event and see who turns out.

I'm not sure about the majority of Stock and Super Stock racers, but I'm certainly not going. I don't watch them now.

Only one sure way to make this form of racing exciting and fill seats to any reasonable level as it relates to Stock, Super Stock and Factory Stock - open the parimutuel window!
