Ladies and gentleman, I'm brand-new to this board, but have been a "motor-head" for decades. I've been going to short-track, road course, and super-speedway races for years. And for the past 4, I've been a crew member for the fastest paved short-trackers on the planet: SUPER-MODIFIEDS. I also have raced Speedway motorcycles and still enjoy watching them, too. But, I've noticed that in the crowds at the tracks, there are not as many "Gen X'ers" as I'm sure the promoters would like, and short-track racing needs to grow the sport. So, let me ask you all, "What Will It Take For You To Visit Your Local Paved or Dirt Oval on a Saturday Night"? I understand not wanting to watch a bunch of domestic- powered stock-bodied or open-wheel cars, but what if they raced high-tech/high-dollar imports as seen in this magazine, except modified for oval-track racing? (Not the usual crappy "mini-stock" type support class.) Or, would you support sprint cars and super-modifieds if they had NISSAN and TOYOTA V-8 engines, as opposed to those from "The Big 3"? The problem with racers is they can't see the big picture and have no clue what the public wants. The "NASCAR Dads" may go to the big tracks on Sundays, but they and their families are not necessarily going to the local bull-rings. Thanks for any in-put you may have, and I shall relay any comments you have, good or bad, to my "roundy-round" peers. sincerely, "Left Coast" Tim Marsh in "The O.C."

I think it'd be cool if you got in the garage with some of the mechanics and talked to some of the racers without having to have a VIP pass or security clearance...Interactity is the key to keeping just about any human being interested in watching or paying attention to ...anything...
