X-Techman , I share your cyniscism as have had the same problems with friends,neighbors etc. over many years . My idea was not to try and compete with NFL , NASCAR or basketball but simply an idea to get SOME airtime . I have noticed Speed etc do air independently produced programs covering lesser known oval track series over the years . My suggestion is that maybe one or more of the S/SS assoc's offer their combo events to TV . Interest (albeit limited) could be generated if presented correctly . The public would gain some understanding if told that's a 200hp station wagon racing a 400hp camaro , put it in terms anyone can understand . The public might like the wheelstands and handicap racing is somewhat like a car chase .
