I just hope we can somehow attract those two tv networks to our kind of racing to prove it...

As I mentioned prior, this all sounds good, but comparing Stock, Super Stock, and Competition
eliminators to PINKS ALL OUT is a mistake. I believe the reason it does as well as it does, is that they
show some of the wilder stuff (wheelies, crashes, etc) and then pick a group of cars that run ET's very close to each other, and run it off.

This way, they have heads up racing, and the winner wins (unless you all of sudden go too fast).

Unfortunately, as we all know, the classes I've mentioned are not as simple as that.

They (PINKS) has also figured out that a field of rear engine big block Chevy dragsters isn't
a very good show, so they pick an ET range that has a great variety of cars, but can still run heads up.

I would love to see these eliminator cars racing on national tv, but the handicap starts, breakouts, and CIC penalties will be the hardest sell, as it is very hard to explain to the average Joe.

Am I missing something here?
