Default Re: Overheard in parking lot @ Pomona

Maybe this is a comment on where NHRA is today. If it weren't for the traveling "CIRCUS" how many people would actually come to these events??? The coverage is all about the PRO cars, and the sportsman cars get very little exposure. Many of the fans that come to National events don't even understand the handicap system of sportsman racing. They just want to see 2 cars run side by side, first one there wins. Compared to when the PROS run the stands are relatively empty when Stock, Super Stock and the other "little guy" classes run. By the way, I love to watch the sportsman cars way more than the PROS. Just my 2 cents, but I don't see it changing without more education for the fans.

P.S. Good luck to all this weekend, might be a long one. For the sportsman racer at least.
