...trying to better the image of the dragracing in Germany.
We had drivers coming from France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, America, Germany and Switzerland this year.

My idea is that any type of sport is only going to live if you keep the interest of the public going.
Sample: Soccer would not be the most popular sport
in Germany if there was only 5 top Clubs...
(FCK, Bayern, Schalke, whatever...) and nothing else.

Because the people need to grow up with the sport
at a smaller, cheaper level.
They got to learn the rules and understand the game, get exited over small wins and losses, and even try to do it themself which is only possible if it is cheap and affordable for about almost everybody.
Out of this variety the future elite can - and will grow.
Others will stay at their level or step back and become fans and spectators. But this interested mass is keeping the sport alive, those guys (and girls) will follow their idol ("I raced against him 10 years ago") support the
sport and the larger events.
