As a newbie and outsider I have made some obsevations and heard remarks over the last few months. I'll share my thoughts with you. I'll have no ill feelings if you rip me, and say I don't know what I'm talking about, but I just thought it might help.
First the NSCA website still has no information on pricing or joining. Maybe I'm stupid but I can't find it so if it's there it should be more visible.
The payout still does nothing when you click on it. I had brought this to everyones attention on the NSCA board three months ago and also talked to Tony on the phone. Nothing has changed!!!!
Why do you have to join to run one event??? This was the complaint I heard. I have had peple tell me they can't afford the amount it cost for one weekend. I also had some local racers I knew racing at Cecil and made comments about how expensive it was!!!
If you want the attendance to increase, couldn't you lower the price for those who are locals just running one event?? My son was going to go to Cecil until he heard the cost. I think this could bring a lot of one time locals to each event.
The more local racers that race the more local fans and spectators.
Get on the local web sites in each town for each event. There are people from all over the country on here, even Canada. Ask the people in the area of the next event what is the good local web sites to post the event on. IT'S FREE!!!! COST YOU KNOTHING BUT TIME. I did it on 70 web sites. I understand the car show was the biggest ever!!!! Next year it will be 150 cars if I'm involved and do the same FREE advertising.
I think the key is to get the locals involved.
Don't schedule your event the same as others. We had the Ford Motorsport Nationals within 100 miles. I think you could have had another 50 cars in both the show and races if this wasn't going on.
OK, I'm done now so tell me to shut up!!! :shock:
