Nearly perfect post Wade.

I think we all need to be proactive and spread the word. It may be a hobby for some and not a biz, but who doesnt want to race in front of more fans? More fans, equal more, money for the track which hopefully translates to more payout.. More fans hopefully equal more sponsorship money. I know that is a perfect world scenario, but trying to be positive and proactive is better than sitting in front of your internet machine and complaining about, NHRA, gas prices, track owners, small purses, the sport not being what it used to be etc... Certainly Class Racers have an uphill battle going on right now with the new cars and technology and the way NHRA seems to be catering to them... I love the cars. Love the technology. I dont think they need a new class... I think they just needed to be factored right out of the box instead of changing the ahfs etc for everyone.. Sorry to stray off topic. Anyways... That might be one of the harder fights, but if you want more payouts etc, I dont think that doing what each and every one of us can to help get folks out to the track is a bad idea or too much to ask. I will admit I never really thought about it that much until recently. As of late I find my self inviting colleagues and customers from the day that have little knowledge about racing or cars.

I am also having a little fun with a side project that I am starting. My blog...

Its not finished, and right now I am just using a blog template but you guys can review it and give me some ribbing if you like hahah. But I do touch on the promotion and advancement of the sport, specifically the sportsman side.
