Most racing series have entry level racing, what brought this to mind was AMA motorcycle race that I attended this past weekend. They have a class for 14 to 21 year olds. About 6 motorcycle brands and models are represented and must race on stock bikes. They must use stock wheels and brakes, they have 2 spec tire suppliers, have to run on a dyno after race to check that HP does not exceed predetermined horsepower.

I think key here is younger racers competing against each other on a heads up basis. (would it need a lot of work, yes but once it started moving ahead may prove fruitful)

Heck, allow them to put Harley motors on junior dragsters and race, .
