I hate the direction racing is heading

No matter what you think of Nascar. They do a better job at supporting regional and local tracks than NHRA/IHRA. So any "Out of the box" ideas is welcomed. The monies is still too top heavy in Drag Racing. Which is contributing to reductions in tracks.

Once my car is where I'm happy. I like watching test & tunes and even qualifying from the stands. I began getting discouraged when index Racing began using throttle stops to regulate their elapsed times. Who wants to watch that?

There are a number of troubling signs we can all point too for discouragement. And I wish I had a magic answer. But if I was the owner of a small track? I would go more viral. Have a cyber talk and interview crew work the crowd and the pits. With today's bandwidths on 5g networks you can even have it interactive with logged in users all over the world. Adding virtual advertising sponsorship?

Again, just throwing out ideas.

I know I’ll get some hate for saying this but the NHRA needs to realize bracket racing isn’t a spectator sport. Small tracks right now that are doing really well are the ones that are getting some time of heads up racing on the schedule. I’ve been to plenty of the big money bracket races all over Ohio/Kentucky/Indiana. Yes the pits are packed but the stands are empty. When I go to a small tire/radial/street car type event the pits are packed full of cars and the stands are full of families watching racing.

People don’t understand the skill involved in bracket racing if they haven’t done it or grown up around it. To them it’s just a bunch of 9 second cars running 10 second passes.
