great post Pat.
FUN is essential.
Removing one thing can help also.Remove FRUSTRATION. Going to the track can continue to be fun but arriving can be prevented by FRUSTRATION.,IF Lack of supervision, Lack of enforcement of "rules" Poor technical factoring etc continues it can cancel out fun of caring to attend the event or even trying to build a car to compete.
A firm hand on rules without business attitude supervision is lacking today in some of the SPORTSMAN racing.
You obviously are correct on making it fun to race brackets by kind, thoughtful handling of the racers and attracting fans. I think the tuner nights also indicate a reborn interest in heads up racing which some how has to be channeled back to classes even if the dreaded "crate motor" has to be used as a basis. LB / cubic inch stuff with simple rules could be needed too, but just ....
Thanks for your hard work and kindness to the racers and fans in your area. I hope to attend and meet you in person and enjoy your hospitality.
Merry Christmas
