Default Re: Big $$$ S/SS Races as a Business Model..Viable?

When we first started if we won class the weekend of racing was almost paid for. Several companies paid for class, with MoPar paying the most.
$1500 class win sure! I got a $100 for the Baby Gators

Yeah, I can remember those days!
If there was still that kind of money to be made for winning class it would almost be worth taking a HP hit.

Side by side racing is what most drag race fans want to see. Some understand the reasons for staggered start, but a lot don't care for it. How about trying to pair up cars by dial ins, I realize it would be a pain to do, but the appeal of "drag racing" from the spectator standpoint would be huge, resulting in more paying spectators. You could still have dial ins and a staggered start, but it would be so small of a difference that it would appear that they were leaving together. There's more spectators at the start line than the finish line.
