I have to correct my post. The fact that it was the first recorded and televised four (4) car race was what made it important.

As a youngser I have seen 4 car race at NATIONAL SPEEDWAY In SUFFOLK COUNTY NY..
They were getting so many cars they ran them 4 at a time to get the racing done.. I believe back then you had to win class to race for the money.. By the way my dad was a tech guy there in the 70's

Don't know how much PINKS you have actually watched but the episode where the POS BACKWARDS WHEEL DRIVE Car went deep into eliminations got plenty of attention. It's in the promotion. The beer drinking masses that I've seen at Pinks could care less if they were racing motorized skateboards after the first half hour. It is a fun event no mater how you watch it and very well promoted. Some may even observe that ?HRA contigencies have dropped while Pinks ain't doing to bad with what they give away. And some good TV coverage for a bunch of lowly bracket types too. Maybe you would be happy if we had 3 heads up classes "Red Camao, White Mustang and Blue Challanger." WAY COOL just line them spectators and tv crews up. |

At Atlanta I was pitted next to one of your favorites a 1st gen Camaro with a big block (i think). There were a lot of spectators walking around in the morning. They stopped to look at my car, take pictures, and ask questions at a rate of 2 to 1 compared to the Camaro. Nostalgia racing has never drawn a crowd. And will never no matter how much you stamp your feet. PS there were a few backwards wheel drive cars there going in the 10's in bracket mode. Please check before you post.
