S/SS alternatives

Exactly Mark. When Bob, Leo, and Allen are announcing, if they're given the reins, you hear them say things like "here comes Kevin Cradduck's big orange 69 Camaro with a 427, this thing is way cool, watch for the big wheelie". I've heard Bob, Allen, and Leo say that about our stuff several times, and it gets the spectators attention, but a lot of times, the announcers they have don't do that. That's just one example, but it is what we really need. But it isn't what we get all that often. And we need it at the LODRS races, too.

If they'd talk up some good matches, and tell the spectators what they're looking at, the spectators would care enough that they'd learn how our racing works. Then, if NHRA didn't feel the need to take a huge cut of everything, we could do things such as have some t-shirts made with the class cars on them, and sell them at a decent price. That sort of thing really makes a difference with spectators, it turns them into real fans. But then, I'm not sure they actually want us to have real fans.
