We either get rid of shoe polish and bring the fans back and probably lower car counts or leave the writing on the windows and continue down this same path.

I don't know how many races you attend as a spectator,but this is clearly NOT the answer.

In my observation,after Top Fuel and Funny Car,the overwhelming majority of the "fans" head for a hot dog when Pro Stock comes up.The few that stay,definitely leave when they run Alcohol Funny Car and Alcohol Dragster.

And I am not just saying this because I am one of the Stock Eliminator racers who would not go if I was guaranteed a heads up race at every race.

The number one way to promote Sportsman racing is with TV.

I think Stock and Super Stock could make a real good "reality show" if properly edited.
