Promoting us as the greatest muscle car show on earth. Not only do the cars look great but the run as good as they look. They do not need to promote us as they would the pros, but just a part of the whole experience of a National Event. Stock and Super Stock are the grassroots of drag racing, letting the fans know there is something for everyone when the came to the track is good for everyone.

I am not a promoter, but I'm sure the amount of resources it would take to do so, would be well within NHRA's budget.

Ken, now youre talking. Promotion. I remember when I first started going to Div 1 Points meets, the stands were definately more packed than they are today. Also, Raceway Park use to promote the Points meets. Not any more, the stands look like a ghost town. They should give a low rate discounted price for admission and make money at the concession stands. What car show is better than a Points meet?? Fast cars painted like candy wrappers. Even though I believe the new cars of today have a favorable factors, they are essential for the growth of stock and superstock. Years ago, when I discovered class racing, I liked the fact that stockers and superstockers look like real everyday vehicles that the fans drove everyday. Thats cool, and look how fast they can go!! Thats what got me interested in Drag Racing. Fuel cars are cool, noisy and fast, but I dont see them in my local dealer. Even Pro stock looked like normal cars back then.....
