no spectators for sportsman racers?

One of the things NASCAR did was to get lots of ink in newspapers and they also had a radio delivery of their broadcasts that were available in just about anywhere USA. It probably isn't that difficult to get a sports editor to do a piece with photos in the local mullet wrapper. All it takes is a phone call. Who is willing to do that?

How many racers would volunteer to put their cars on display at places like shopping malls, auto parts stores, etc?

With New Years around the corner how about if everyone makes a resolution to bring a kid to the track a few times or more per year?

It will take organization, that is for sure. Maybe the Sportsman reps within each division can try to work something out with the hosting track to get local exposure which will likely equal more people at the gate. Reps contact a dozen racers to put their cars on display, get interviewed on local radio and newspapers, etc.....

Most of all, when spectators approach you at the track or at an exposure venue you have to be friendly, and patient, take time to explain .90 racing or handicap racing.
