Some Englishtown observations.

I guess everything is relative, some continue to say it's dying, but I see local tracks growing. I see our local S/SS count growing yearly (thanks to a local diehard that is doing everything to promote it, thanks Jeff) If they cancelled all national events, the local events would still operate and people who want to drag race would still either find a place to race or build a place to race (as in CB)
Explaining S/SS or bracket racing...lol, I "explained" it to my kids and their friends years ago when I set up a 100ft strip and ran them heads up,(edit: on bicycles) when the bigger kid won, I spotted the little kid more and more until they were evened out. THEY understood it and I'm talking 8-12 year olds.

So, the sky is not falling (again or still) dragracing will continue on in one form or another, sounds like e-town does need an upgrading, nothing will change as far as butts in the stands unless there is more promotion done.

Sorry to highjack Billy, just seems your original message is being turned into doom and gloom.
