One angle to promote is that St/SS racing is that it is an active history lesson of American/Detroit hp development. That would take savvy promoter(s), announcers and racers. '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and current all had exceptional offerings and our racing shows what that is. It also is a venue where each time period can be appreciated and compared. Or you could divide up different eras and/or different manufacturers. There is lots of material to work with. The key is knowledge, action and excitement. The comment that was made above from the fan about still not understanding the Stock/SS racing is a telling point - if you don't know the rules to a football game, it will be hard to appreciate the action. KISS.

It can be done.
