I know that seat time is not the greatest, but it is the ONLY timed competitive event that is safe and if you win, have bragging rights.
Quote:As I've said at Board meetings when I was still on the Board, these events need to be promoted a whole lot better. Depending on this blog/web site calendar and Motorsportreg.com to notify the same 12 folks each event will result in 12 folks participating. Email blasts need to be sent regularly and often to notify the entire membership and to encourage them to attend. Marketing and promotion will make a difference. Offer some ride alongs, offer some prime viewing seating, offer some taste of AX like the DE folks do with their Taste of the Track Program, offer some coaching or free admission for beginners. Some or all of these ideas can only help and aren't costly from a time or money perspective.
Good luck.
