I pushed this issue earlier this year but only a few racers were willing to give it a try. Fans will pay to see the well prepped cars, hear the high rpm engines, and to see the big wheelies. But the average fan won't grasp the concept of indexes, dial unders, etc. In addition, it's too difficult for the average fan to identify each class and the technicality behind them. Until class racers can grasp this concept, it will continue to be a hard sell to spectators.

Gary,
