The Importance of Class Runoffs

[Bobby Fazio]

In order to grow the class racing brand, the performance muscle-car show, one that performs on stock components, who else thinks we need to showcase class eliminations in front of a crowd? Heads-up, performance based, easy to understand, no dials/breakouts, just wheelies and first to the finish. The Thursday format at Maple Grove is not conducive to what we are trying to accomplish here. As recent as 2015 we always ran class on Friday at Etown and Maple Grove. We need eyes on us, then we have an angle/pitch to attract sponsors and increase contingency participation. We have a handful paying class contingency now and we are headed back in the right direction there but NHRA should give them their monies worth! We have to show NHRA that there is a rather large interest in watching our classes that they may not have known about years prior. I do think they are starting to notice as they are interviewing Stockers regularly on the starting line and posting way more videos. What say you?
