Y'know, that's the same sort of thing I've seen here in the northwest, no happy butts in the seats for the bracket racers. I'm sure that's the case for many other tracks as well and we may see this sort of thing recur.

We have suggested to the track managers different ways of re-building a fan base through promotion. Outside of the other racers, who else in your communities know who won, lost or broke trying last weekend?

We have discussed celebrity drags with local celebrities like sports stars, radio and TV broadcasters, community leaders. Match / grudge race sort of affair. Falls on deaf ears around here. Maybe grudge meets between tracks within a division. Plus, how about some way for the fans to get involved with their 'Local Hero's", the guy down the street with the 9 second Camaro or 12 second Mustang.

I think as racers it's in our own best interests to aide the tracks in pronotion, but if the tracks aren't going to take the lead or even listen and act upon suggestions, then what?

Anyway, that's my rant question, I guess. How do we affect change?

well the way i see it, if it wasn't for the bracket racers where would dragracing be today? sometimes people forgets where they started from, sometimes people needs to step back and look at the big picture!!!

i agree to a point---REAL DRAG RACING WAS JUST THAT---REAL TO THE END[ SOMETIMES YOU GOT SPOTTED A COUPLE OF CARS / SOMETIMES YOU SPOTTED THEM A COUPLE 8) 8) ---IT CAN BE HARD AT TIMES TO FILL THE BLEACHERS BUT THE PIT AREA STILL PAYS IN ALOT OF MONEY AT MOST TRACKS :shock: :shock: :shock: --LIVELY

How the hell to they think they can make it with no bracket car races???? what are they going to run BIG SHOWS EVERY WEEK???????????? I dont get it ! I like the idea of promoting the track for spectators AND RACERS too. My 2cents, David.
