#4 is a valid point to add to the list.

You can do better than #3. We're talking about what would drive a person to THIS form of entertainment rather than some other form of entertainment.

When we did our nostalgia races, I always had a S/SS combo. Yes, a few were late model , GT type cars. But whenever I was out and about, promoting the next event, people would always ask if we were having the Super stock or A/FX cars again. They knew that they were the best performing cars on the property.
I would usually start the show with them, right after the intermission, speeches, special awards , etc. Sometimes , maybe a fast Gasser match race pair.
The point is, people who go to the races, maybe once or twice a year, want to be entertained.

I go out to a Summit race once in a while, and the first thing that happens is they start out with Big Wheel races, then Juniors, then maybe Sportsman bracket, including the duallys and tow vehicles. God bless them all , and everybody has a place to race, which is fine ...but it is just plain boring to a casual race fan who wants to go out to the races on a Saturday night. Most of the spectators are the families involved.

I guess it's no big secret why spectators come out for the "street car" and no prep , 10.5 etc events . They want to see that stuff that covers about a half mile of track, within a quarter. LOL
