First thing that comes to mind with respect to dialed index cars. A few years ago we ran a Stick Nationals at Edgewater they paired up the cars for eliminations with the closest E.T.'s . This at least gave the illusion of some heads up runs. Second to get good participation you need to have a reasonably sized purse. I've seen this at the Buckeye S/SS races 1400-1500 to win at the trails not bad money in my opinoin. Of course if I had to travel 200-300 miles for that it would be less attractive. They would need to get some spectators to help the track make some money then maybe the tracks would WANT these type os programs.The thought of some Prostock or Promods is to sell the tickets, get people out watching and spending money at the trtacks... the track wins the racers win. As I recall WAY back in the dark ages there were plenty of match race circiuts that did very well. This would be a form of that. We have to understand that the average Joe isn't gonna come out to watch just S/SS cars they need something more to pull them in. From what I see there are alot of southern tracks that Book in "quick" what ever shows and make alot of money at it. What's quicker than Prostock, Promod and maybe 4 nitro harleys for good measure?
