Spectators: Invite area car clubs for Fri/Sat (Camaro/Mustangs etc), give them an 1/8 mile pass Friday night ($10 entry fee, track keeps $), maybe get some of them hooked, Best Appearing, some special recognition, free racers picnic for the clubs, bounce houses for little ones, parade lap with children

Gamblers race?

Associations pool monies & maybe points series (Best 3 of ?) extra points as tie breakers for Q positions etc

Lucky Dog pass...ONE ticket at $10 each for ONE loser

Stock SS racers are a creative group, we certainly could come up with things that the nimrods at NHRA can't envision

One last thought, although the focus is in S SS cars, sometimes a little FILLER would be nice.....S/ST or SG door cars, or even fast na bracket cars that may see the value of moving up to class cars....S SS racers could advise/mentor newbies
I second Tri-State in Earlville! The only thing I disagree on is using the icky throttle stop cars as filler. Getting a few "street outlaw" local racers would be an idea.
