SRAC Meeting in Gainsville - Page 4

The Baders do an excellent job putting on a show along with promoting their events, that's what puts the people in the stands. They don't expect the racer to explain or adjust the classes for the lack of spectator knowledge. The Baders treat the racers as family and understand what it means to promote and operate a quality event. I thing or two could be learned.

I agree w/ the extended dating on belts, chasis, bell housing, ect........... Every little bit helps, even if it is just a year longer.

Until someone can magically move the stands to the finish line for the sUPER cATAGORIES, we will not ever be a fan favorite.

I too have no clue if there are fans in the stands when I drive, I try not to think about a car next to me before 1000 feet either.

The only REASONABLE solution I can see for all who want to speed up the Super Classes would be to AD a 7.90 class. Maybe Super Eliminator, Super Duper, Super Stupid, sorry I want my post to be longer than Jason (soap box) Oldfield's!

I know that we would alll benefit from 5 year belts etc, just remember you are bucking commerce. Vendors and Sanctioning bodies, all make money from these reoccuring fees, so a lot of hard work and politicing would be needed. I fear we ask too much of our Sportsman Advisors as it is.

In MHO Pinks works because, it is on TV, the rules are simple for fans to grasp, the average American wants to be entertained without thinking too hard! Cold Beer, Get Ya Cold Beer Here.

Mr Hall, the only reason I care about how many people stay in their seats are for the economics of racing.More people who enjoy all classes, will support them at their local tracks where on occasion some forward thinking track owner might put a show that includes all Super Classes and S,S/S. with their bracket racing event. I hope I'm wrong but we need to make sure that all super classes survive. It's one of the most progressive form of racing right now. Like I've said it's only my opinion. Thank you all for letting me express it. Claude Ruel

Maybe this is the sign we need to post in the stands.

There use to be fans in the stands for Super Gas when it first came out and then some dumb head made the timers and everybody thought they needed to go 180 mph at 9.90 and turned into Stop and Go Gas (SC followed along), which killed any normal spectator from watching, end the timers and pack the bleachers again.

Do it before some dumb head parks there 180 mph SG in the lights and trashes out the normal 150 mph one in the other lane
