After sitting through 2 National Events this year I have noticed that NHRA does NOTHING to promote the PS class. All the announcer hype (when you can hear the PA) is directed at the fuel cars/drivers. As soon as the last pair of funnies goes down the track, the stands empty real quick.

In fact I noticed that even Top Dragster and Top Sportsman are more appealing to "Joe Spectator" than PS.

One side note, but a good one: At both races (Phoenix and Vegas) I heard many positive comments about the Super Stockers and Stockers. At Phoenix a V6 Firebird won SS and the "crowd went wild". They were cheering for him all day long. Also when Tueton's Hemi ran down a much slower car for a win, it was the loudest cheer from the seats outside of the fuel rounds. And yes, the older Detroit iron is much more popular than the new Challengers/Mustangs in the seats...
