Re: Should Pro's be seperated from Sportsman
The main reason why it is like that is because of the tv exposure. ESPN and NHRA have on tv not only talk about the cars but the drivers and crew chiefs. People attach to the drivers look at nascar and Dale Jr. Now if they did the same for sportsmen it would be a win/win for everyone. Say they picked one or two drivers a year and followed their progress. Say Dan Fletcher and SS and David Rampy in comp, explain the class and car fits and then follow them for the year give them 10-15 minutes a show. Show all the finals live from every class make people attach to the cars and drivers and you will get more people in the stands to see how that driver does when at their local national event.
