How do we promote sportsman type racing?

What might be an answer would be a clean breakbetween the Pro and Sportsman divisions , with each holding their own events somewhat along the NASCAR model . Back in the 60s and 70s the current model worked , but the the NHRA wanted to go "big time" and advertisers and TV became paramount . What also might help could be if the Sportsman ranks could found a racer's organization to represent themselves as a unified group before the NHRA . The Sportsman racer has power in numbers , but by not being united are at the mercy of the tracks and sanctioning body .
