I completely disagree with the beer truck-drunk analogy. You guys have totally underestimated the alure of dragracing/classracing.

A proper analogy would be;

Slowly driving a flatbed truck through the bad part of town loaded with free crack cocain on the back and the racers are the addict's running/staggering out of the ally's!
Nothing will stop them but death itself or the physical inability to catch up to the truck.

(but of course obama would lay on "chaser" vehicles for those who couldn't catch the truck and charge the fee's to the evil rich! LOL but I digress)

Oh, and the answer? You need to give them a common enemy (nhra) and you have to give them a way to fight back. (boycott a race) THEN you need to ensure it is more advantageous to follow the pack than it is to succumb to the allure of the race. (hard)
The best way would be to have a race the same weekend then ensure everybody knows if you go to the nhra race you will be ostracised.
Example, had a big race and all the nhra racers showed up but 2. Those two went to the nhra race so turn your back on them when their met at the following races. Put it on class racer etc, ensure everybody knows they are viewed as crap.

Don't have the stomach to do that? Then the answer is no, racers won't band together.
