The NMMA part three we want to keep this a family sport, well what else is it but a family sport used to be young men and middle aged men with their wives and kids about 90% or more and now it is the kids about 90% or more and their Mom’s and Dads not mention the grandparents and uncles and aunts it is probably more family now than it has ever been. What sport is not family orientated football, golf, I thought boxing was not but, have you seen the contender series the wives, moms, and even kids are there watching dad get bashed. So lets quit playing the we want to keep it a family sport card it just doesn’t fly. It is, it has been, and will always be a family sport. We must be creative in order to get the paying public to come watch our fantastic sport.
A good announcer is worth their weight in what ever you can afford. Special events to entertain the crowd is a must, keep the intermission to minimum if there nothing to entertain them. Keep the show going if your races are taking more than 2-31/2 hours you will bore them to death. I realize under the present championship scoring system there is no way to get this done. Get rid of time trials, trophy dashes transfers and consis if you want more points then make the features worth more, on the last night of racing have only A features. Adjust the programs to accomplish this. We need to think of the fans more than we have in the past, it used to be for our fun only, now in order for it to succeed it must be for the fan as well as for our fun, one will not survive without the other.
I find it hard to believe that I have never seen our sport on TV, but I haven’t. I have seen lawnmowers, go karts, and about every other form of motor sports on TV, but not us. I realize we don’t have lighting that’s good enough for night races on TV. But in this organization isn’t there someone that could get us on a special daytime race for TV. Have we even tried?
Next time the last part of the series just more insane ramblings
