Let the real fast guys put on a show. Give it a catchy name that the public can relate to like "Muscle Car Showdown".

2. Online betting has exponentially grown on all forms of sports including E sports. It is a significant part of street racing allure. Find a way to do online betting on drag racing with a portion of the pot going to race winners and the track/tear down tech guys. It would be fun to be able to put bets on class racing at Indy from my couch.

3. Have more double points meets with Saturday and Sunday eliminators.
I like most of your ideas.........Not very comfortable with the idea of
Paramutual betting for a multitude of reasons.

My boy drives a Turbo Mustang in "No Prep" events for the owner.
One of the cars in our shop got to the finals in "Pinks All Out" and
gets raced in No Prep events at our local track.

I would strongly suggest that you do not come up to me at the Race Track
and call me "Ghetto" to my face (You might not like what happens next even
with my deteriorating elder skills)!
