How do we promote sportsman type racing?

I've been reading this post with great interest. First back in the day there where alot less entertainment options available (internet,tv,resturants, moves, malls, ect) Secondly the price to spectate has gottin out of hand even for the weekly races, and the price for a big show (nationals) are crazy. As the ecconomy continues to stay weak these prices need to be reduced. The weekly shows need to promoted better as someone said I can remember the (SUNDAY,SUNDAY,SUNDAY) ads on the radio you rarely hear a race promoted anymore. Next to blame the demise of drag race on any one competion class is narrow minded,its the diversity in classes that make it interesting this encludes (stk,ss,comp and the .90 class's) and Mr.Gonzo 1066 if you believe that .90 racing is NOT A REAL DRAG RACE please give if it a try. I think you'll find out differently, its some of the closest racing you'll find just watch it from the finish line. Granted the throttle stops may make it a bit confusing to the casual spectator, the real race is after the stops come off.
