[QUOTE="Steve_Naughton, post: 852503, member: 6089"] For TORC (because they have very limited TV time) it would definitely make more sense to focus on just their top class. Plus this would then create incentive for top drivers in the lower classes to want to move up. And even if they did have more TV time to show all the classes properly, it would still make more sense to put 70 to 80% of the national TV emphasis on the top elite class. My point is... As long PL, P2 and P4 all get equal amount of TV time, there really is no incentive for the top drivers (and their sponsors) in each of those classes to move up. This is why Scotty Taylor never moved up from P2 to P4, or why Jeff Kincaid never moved up from PL to P2. This, I think, is THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM in short course off road racing and why I think it has failed to really take off in 40 years. But if the system was organized in a way that encouraged people to rise to the top of the sport, then I think everything would start to make sense and short course off road would really start to take off. Plus having good management, solid venues and everything else will help too. [/QUOTE]
