I know this a little outside the box thinking but I would propose 1 of the days at a divisional would be free for all spectators, people will spend $ if they get in free, possibly charge $2 parking and $2 hot dogs $6 tshirts, have a car set up that kids can sit in and take pictures..etc Brian Seaberg

It's very obvious that a lot of you guys have never run a business...

The key is to restart the car culture, love of cars Americans, specifically boys had with cars. In an effort to do that, allow any kid up to 18 wearing a team or scout uniform/jersey in for free all weekend long and advertise it in the local communities where the divisionals are being held. These kids will bring at least one paying parent and maybe a friend or two. Also have a few junior dragsters on display too and have some of the junior racers and their parents do a Q&A on Saturday morning for 30 minutes.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway-Muscle Cars at the Strip puts on a 3 day sportsman event every year. Great entertainment, food, etc. The place is usually packed and is a lot of fun. You should come check it out. Next years event is scheduled 3-17-24 to 3-19-24. Hope to see you there!

I believe Randy Painter and his brother are the primary event promoters for Muscle cars at the Strip, while Phil Mandella of PMR organizes the Stock/SuperStock race. Last edited by DG; 11-15-2023 at 06:32 PM. |

That's a lot of entry fee paying, parts and tow rig buying, low maintenance for the tech guys, NHRA paying members and crew people you're advocating telling not to come.

Let's be clear and all agree, nothing will change that benefits the racer, payout certainly won't increase, the contingency program won't get better, track conditions will still vary from track to track as will the rollout and the NHRA will still struggle to finish the event on Sunday many times. THIS is all the racers that are paying the entry fee at the gate care about, not spectators in the stands, not the concessions stand, not a barbecue and not live music.
Divisionals will not be great again! Last edited by 1320racer; 11-16-2023 at 07:47 AM. |
