I don't know much about cat racing yet but know quite a bit about several forms of car racing. I've read a tremendous amount of debate from zealots of formula vs one-design vs developmental classes, etc. Those actively involved in promoting cat racing can learn important lessons from the various car racing segments. Like it or not, NASCAR (which bores me to death) is by far the most successful major racing series in the US and offers much better competition than Formula 1, LeMans prototypes, sports cars, IndyCar, or CART. The only other racing of similar success but on a smaller scale is the Euro touring cars. What category is NASCAR? A STRICT FORMULA CLASS WITH 3 MAJOR MARQUES. Yes, the "developmental" (prototype sportcars) and "one design" (e.g. SCCA spec racers) have small, loyal followings. But it is the FORMULA series (NASCAR, Touring Cars) that attract the attention of millions...
