Default Re: Promoting Drag Racing

I have to agree with pops ( Chris3) people go crazy just to hear the sounds of these cars crank and idle ( there were 30 people standing around our trailer waiting for me to back the car off the trailer.) . I think part of the reason that people don't pay attention to our sport is the the lack of " Creative Advertising ". People stop and listen closly when you hear a booming voice hollering " Sunday Sunday Sunday" vs a blip on a website or some social message board. I can tell you first hand from someone who is trying his hand @ promoting a group on Nostalgia Pro Stock cars to run on the east coast it's all in how you package the product. But i agree the tracks are the one's who have the burden to get the butts in the seats once the people are there then the cars can do the rest. I am the second generation of that 3 generations that Chris3 speaks of, and i can assure folks my age no little or nothing about the sport of drag racing, and if we don't do someting by time it get to the 3rd gen od Chris3 it may be all gone.... IMO
