We will never, ever, again get fans. No one new in the crowd understands it.

More *its in the pits.

Well, since you asked. It will again take actual racing. In order to have actual racing, it would have to be affordable, and implemented at the local home track level. No one understands racing anymore, except when the pros come up.

Also, the reason nascar got so big, is the fans could relate their hometown weekend warrior, with Dale Earnhardt. Us, they relate it to nothing.

Good point. Putting fans in the stands isn't just a S/SS problem at Nats. and Divisionals it's all of handicap racing too. I think some organizations and tracks have gotten lazy about promoting the "little" guy. Living off their captive audience ( friends and family of the racer ). Lower spectator prices - be more than competitive for their entertainment dollar.

Handicap racing is not that hard to follow. If someone doesn't know the rules to a game or sport they don't understand it. They need to be informed. A print out or video or something. For the computer wizzes out there create a drag racing app.

It won't change over night it's taken years to get to this point but I believe it can change. We need to help promote ourselves.
