Is it time to fix Super Class Racing?

There is still time to save this patient from death.

We have at least five of these doubleheader (Sat/Sun) races in the Pacific Northwest Super Comp Association every year. They are great. And yet racer participation is on life support. We had five people show up to a race earlier this year.

The structure isn't killing this patient, TD and the desire to go in the sixes at over 200 is. So is the fact that racing in TD is easier: more ducks to shoot, a full-tree gives you bump down time, and so on. And running full out in front of a lot of people is more fun.
