The sportsman racer is the sacrificial lamb. Don't you think it would help the sport out if the promoters could help inform the public what type of racing their track has. It's the existing tracks who seem to be developing neighbor problems. The key is in a good announcer at local tracks. We travel to literally hundreds of tracks annually and see a direct relationship between a good announcer and knowledgeable fans.
Announcers are the key.
An announcer is not only an entertainer, he's a teacher. There's no reason it can't work here too. It's all a matter of publicity. We have a marketable product, it's just a matter of getting it out there . . . Remember the 60's, when dragstrips has thousands of people lining the track for 15 second Impalas.
