Depends on the handicapping system employed. Ours are done deliberately to try and get random winners, otherwise it all becomes chequebook racing - or the guy with the most power wins. That tends to put people off from entering. If a guy can win with a modest Alfa Sud or a mildly modified MGB, then anyone can win, even if they only ever win once.
Yes our races are for fun, but at least we can usually field two decent grids, each with more than 20 starters - sometimes up to 40, and we don't have problems attracting registrations either. Three more in today. One Porsche, one Alfa and one MG. No parity, but good racing with plenty of overtaking and close finishes.
For us it is still a sport, not a $$$ business.
