Quote: When was the last time you heard any kind of advertisement on the local radio or TV station about any drag racing event... the only thing I ever hear about racing is some street BS or they crashed and someone died... alot of this falls right in the laps of the track owners, they dont advertise squat.... I remember a statement... if you want to make money you have to spend money
You are so right Mr P. You made me think with that statement and it is so true. Every week I remember hearing " Saturday Saturday out of the lights at pace setting capital drag raceway the traction capital of the nation".........come see Ronnie Sox , Bill Jenkis , Dyno Don and 5 more Pro Stockers. In the 60's and the 70's I would hear that on the radio every week all summer long ! As was stated when there was only 6 or 7 NHRA and AHRA national events the Pro racers had time to run circuits and hit local tracks around the country. So you could see Pro Stocks or Funny cars for about $12 dollars instead of paying $30 dollars at a national event. Remember these are 60's and 70's prices. It was the best of times. Ron
