I certainly think in this day and age we need to try to reach out to the masses. It seems to me back in the late 60's through the 70's, we as a people were more "car " orientated and enjoyed the new models and what was next to expect from our favorite car Mfg.
When we endured the "Gas Crunch's" the car culture as we knew it, seemed to take a hit ! I like the Idea of trying to reach out and maybe bringing back some spectators. I remember Points races used to be Mini National Events and even some "Pro's " booked in for some "Match Racing" would generate spectator interest.
Walter Frey said to me a few years back before E-Town closed that "people" entertain themselves much differently today and could possibly be a reason for lack of interest. I won't say he was wrong but changes happened and we might need to open our views to generate positive interest once again.
The circle track racers are experiencing a similar lack of interest although not as drastic. Just my two cents.
