Not in the North east specifically in the NYC area.It's all about demographics.Norwalk isn't the NY metropolitan area.

Just remembering all those SUNNNNNNDAAAYYYYY!!! radio ads they used to play on the radio all week long promoting a drag track or major upcoming 1/4 mile race event.....seems it did the trick then, but that was then and now is.....well maybe they should start flashing up the race promotions on cell phone and computer screens......hmmm....

I remember Maple Grove did the $ 25 dollar a carload entry fee last year and the place was close too if not full. We had 1st round of Super Gas in between 1st and 2nd round of TA/FC and T/AD and as I pulled into the water box I felt like John Force as I looked around and saw the stands 3/4 full....I was like I know there not here to see us but, it sure is nice to have the stands 3/4 full.....so GOOD JOB LEX!! I also do remember the fireworks cause I sware it was like the minute the T/AD went though the lights they shut everything off....I was like I hope they pulled the chutes!!!

Hey Ed, E-Town is always a tough sell to get people in the door but, if I remember the WEATHER SUCKED at last years event. I remember it raining and not raining and then it would clear then rain again so that def. would prevent people from coming out. I think the only nice day was Sunday at E-Town.
