I get that results are important, bashing a track is NOT something anyone needs to be doing. Yes, others are highly successful with programs. Others can use some work. To spin things negative has to stop. How many actually realize many of our small local tracks like Ohio Valley choose to stay open. Wake up and realize it's easy to get on the soapbox and complain. Going to support events is another.

Rant Over.... Carry on.

Here is the qualifying sheet for Super Stock after 2nd round. I didnt get a pic of the Stockers.

There were some fans in the stands at Ohio Valley Raceway. More than most divisional races but they race weekly and I'm sure thats why. We should spend more time promoting this stuff instead of thinking NHRA will do it ever because they wont. I need to start a YouTube channel and start explaining Stock/Super Stock racing because the casual fan doesnt get it.

the only fans of stock/super stock are current and former racers of these classes.

That may be a little severe but it is clear to me hat 95% or more of the fans at national events are just there for the fuel cars.

We all know what attendance is like at the divisional races.

I am a big fan but meet your definition.
