>> When there are no Pros or if there were no Alcohol show at an event who would spectate?
Nobody's going to spectate anything if it's not advertised!
I have in fact seen stands mostly full for Super or Rod categories at a National event before - accomplished by a fast-moving program, and an announcer that educated the fans.
Throttle stops are no harder for fans to understand than handicapped starts. (see announcer)
Index classes are an integral part of the national/div'l event experience. There's no need to mess with their classes. H*ll, growing up, I understood the Index classes before I did Comp! ;-) (Probably because it simply had never been explained to me at the time... see announcer again)
