If it's heads-up that seem to catch the eye of the "new generation", I would suggest running class eliminations in conjunction with the pros while the fans are still in their seats.
What better way to introduce S/SS to the croud. While running class they have the oportunity to explain the S/SS classes and let them know how elminations will be done later in the day...Most of the time when pros are done running the anouncers usually tell the fans to go on down to the pro pits and get you an autograph , pics, or t-shirt , instead of capturing their interest in other classes.....Just needs a little pr work....I for one have been around drag racing all my life and know it has to change as well as a lot of other things,but it is hard to accept,I am just tooooo old school i guess...Money is the biggest obstical i have to run at all these events.. I can assure you if i won the lottery you would get tired of seeing me at these races,,,lol...
