Why cant Sportsman Racing be like this on TV these days???

Seems to me,the only realistic way for Stock/Super Stock to get their deserved air time is to go proactive . Relying on the media or the I or N crowd to promote class racers seems futile at best . Perhaps the way to go would be havtng an independent producer film, edit and package for sale to Speed , FSCR or ESPN coverage of one or more of the Stock/Super Stock association combo events . If the concept of class racing were for once properly explained and presented I for one believe the viewers interest could be picqued . The limited coverage given now does nothing but confuse the average viewer . There is no explanation ever given as to HP/weight or CID/weight . All they see is one car getting a head start , but why ? And why did the first car across the line lose ? (breakout) Class racing is GREAT competition and would be interesting to viewers if competently presented . As for independently selling a package I cite by example last week's coverage of the Chili Bowl midget race , Pass Time or Pinks . Guys , you deserve the coverage , but mainstream is commited to celebrities and circuses , the only hope is to find an outsider willing to take a chance showcasing the best of drag racing .
