Default Re: Racing fairness versus Circus attendance

Well, folks (aka, customers), start rattling off what it is you'd like to see. What kind of race would you support? What are your priorities? What's an acceptable entry fee/payout? Facility? (the fancier the race track you have to have, the less money can go back to the racers, as track rental fees vary wildly) Class Runoffs? Quick 32 CIC Comp-Style shootouts? How important is event coverage (online, magazine, TV)?

If someone knew that you could draw 300+ cars again like the US Class Nationals, a promoter would put one together in a heartbeat. But YOU the customer have to speak up and let it be known what it is you want, when & where, and most importantly, that you would truly show up and support an event. YOU are the ones that make it happen.
