That was the IHRA format basically, and it went down the tubes. Only IHRA race that had spectators (and a LOT of them) was at Budd's Creek couple of years ago, they had brought in some match racing, a guy on a jet skate board, and something else. Place was really packed, I talked to the owners when I got paid (semi's) and we agreed hadn't seen a crowd like that since the old match race days.

If there was a 'sportsman' only show, it would have to be 'spiffed up' somehow and ADVERTISED, not gonna work as a pure standalone.
