If a group was serious about racing on pavement, and had close to 100% feed back from it's regular competitors they could depend on 30% of them showing up to race if they were lucky. Remember the "Rumble" we had more members in the stands watching us than we had on the race track. We sure tanked the chance of ever going back to Fort Wayne?

The group should not depend for the turn out of one race to make their argument for them. It would be prudent to contact the guys in Illinois who have been racing on both surfaces for 30+ years with similar cars about tires and regulations to keep racing competitive. This would make a more racer friendly tire deal for the racers both in cost and endurance. Their next step would be to contact the guys up at the Speedrome in Indianapolis and try to work out a 3 or 4 race series. Indy is pretty central to most racers and would help reduce travel expenses.

Pavement racing is a bit more expensive but it would also be a big change of pace. Driving a car on pavement is an entirely difference experience from racing on dirt although many dirt drivers do try to race pavement the same way they race dirt.

I think finding sufficient number of good used pavement tires less than 2 years old to outfit an entire field of racers could be pretty difficult.
