As a S/SS fan I like the idea. Maybe it would help the novice understand handicapped racing.

Car Shows the friday night or morning of every race with some type of car warm up session in some type of public forum(ie bars, restaurants, movie theatres, car dealerships, walmarts, mall, etc).

No one likes racing at night but pushing the schedule further back on a Friday allows more people to get out to the track. Tulsa Raceway Park does this with their bigger races to help get fans in the gate.

Lets get into peoples homes, more on track and pit videos posted in one place on facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. These videos give people access to the personalities of sportsman racers. Vlog, Vlog, and Vlog more. Then everyone that is not doing video, can share the heck out of these things on those social media platforms.

Also, the other thing that the group of Sportsman racers may want to do is have an occasional fan appreciation/experience BBQ or even a bar meet up to hang with fans as well. Just my .02

I liked running off the record, but car counts dropped big time when bracket racing came along. Slow guys went bracket racing, instead working on their stuff. Now, we all just mostly bracket race. Yawn.

The running all time trials and qualifying on the index or handicap start is something I've preached for a long time, is a no brainer, doesn't cost a dime, help people understand the sport, give drivers more seat time judging closing ratios etc. If I ever win the lottery (need to start playing lol) there are a ton of ways to promote our sport. It all comes down to getting fans/spectators interested. If the average person knew all the different back ground stories going on with even some of the racers, their cars, their weekend, etc Lots of David vs Goliath stories etc. Every race has lots of human interest stuff going on from racers helping racers, thrashing going on , etc Some good natured drama some not. But the average person doesn't know any of this...
