The stands are always full at our local track for the "Shadyside Outlaws", "Southeastern Gassers", and "No Prep". Very few racers are interested in brackets here anymore.

I see all these big "Class" races and local "S/SS" races being promoted, but with little emphasis on the performance component of what we do. I don't get it. The dumbing down of Class racing will be its demise. (IMO)

Maybe talking with the promotors of these big money events. Have them run class/ and or run against your index with sponsors putting up cash for a win and the participants putting in money too.
