They already did/do this with Top Stock. I hate to say this, but you will never turn classracing into no prep kings or street outlaws. There really is no parody in the two. We love classracing for what it is, and if it became a heads up race for every round, only the fast cars would come. Here in Division1 we get almost 100 stockers and 70 Super Stockers for every race. Anything done to cater to a NPK/SO crowd would probably turn off the diehard classracer.
How does Bader fill the stands at his division races? That's what really should be looked into. The new generation is not into what the old generation is into for the most part. Not just in racing, football stadiums, baseball stadiums, Nascar and even concerts all have a dwindling attendance. Maybe trying to get the mass of young kids interested in class racing is like getting them excited about dancing the Jitterbug, or going to drive ins.
