    We all have the ability to make a diffence

    With the dwindling fan base of racing in general. Which sadly includes dirt racing. We can all make a difference by taking friends , younger adults and kids...in whatever circle you’re in to the race track and expose them to dirt racing. Have you seen this “drifting” thing the kids seem to like? Well I’d think some exposure to a dirt track would stick to these kids. At least some. Most people don’t even know about dirt racing. There’s plenty of people to be exposed and maybe turn some into 4m’rs You never know. 👍.

          I’m planning on doing my part for the April Lucas race at my local track TST. Telling everyone and got a good crew already planning on coming. But that’s the best I can do. I can’t sit through a regular Saturday night show. I can’t.

            I always enjoy people painting such broad strokes.
            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              I think thats great, but Ive noticed for the World 100 and the Dream lately, they have focused more on the party and less on the racing, which sadly is a recipe for death.

                  I have to agree about the sitting through weekly shows. Nothing worse than going to a track that has 8 classes running and only about 5 cars in each class. On top of that they''ll usually start an hour late and then take an hour intermission. At least that's how most are that I attend.

                    Went to a party once and a race broke out.

                    I wish they'd run one support class during Lucas at East Bay. I know your seeing pretty much the best of the best there is except maybe 2-3 guys. It does seem like alot to spend for a couple hrs but there was definitely no shortage of people last year and the year before.

                        now think about this , this thread is about growing the sport and getting kids interested , so i say , if it was not for the support classes ,there would be a small minute percent of these kids and even adults that could afford a super late model , but they might take enough interest in these lower classes to give it a try , i just dont understand the hate on these classes and yet the same ones say " our sport is dying " , NO track in the country could survive with out the support classes on a weekly basis , they definitely help pay for the supers to be there with the admissions they bring in , people like Dirt Crow that rides the bleachers and b!tches about every thing will never understand this.........

                          That's all fine and dandy but when a track runs 3 different 4 cylinder classes or another tracks runs 3-4 different types of crate/steel block LM when the casual fan in the stands can't tell what the difference between them is then there's a serious issue.

                            That has been going on at Eldora for a long, long time. Especially at the World 100.

                              Maybe in your area. There's quite a lot of younger folks at the tracks around my way.
