Drag racing has a long history. In Utah it started in 1925 on the salt lake flats. Now it has evolved into a legitimate sport. Rocky Mountain Raceways is a great place for racers to practice their drag racing skills and to impress other racers. It has many great traditions, but is lacking in being overly cautious, inefficient and could do with some improvements (http://rmrracing.com/history/).

Depending on how busy it is, racers can wait between 20 to 60 minutes for their turn to race. This is too long to wait for a 15 second race. To improve this they should build more tracks so they won’t have to wait that long to race.
Another improvement they can make is to make it more exciting by having the winner go against a professional driver. They should do this because it will get more racers motivated to go race and boosts their confidence. Also after the first round the loser should get another chance by racing a different racer who has also lost. They should do this because it is unfair to beginners to be dropped out of the competition so early.
To conclude if the Rocky Mountain Raceways were to take these suggestions under consideration they would get more people to go and that will help their company gain more revenue. Also it will make racers happier because the wait will have gone down and there will be more chances to race against others and
