I think it was already mentioned on here BUT race track owners and NHRA should take notice!
VMP passed out 60,000 (that's the number I heard) FREE tickets to saturday's final eliminations.
The placed was packed! The tickets were passed out at NAPA stores (could have been a VMP/NAPA joint effort- I don't know).

How many points meets have you been to that had more than a handful of spectators in the stands?
There aren't many tracks that do a good job of drawing crowds for points meets.

Here is a list of the tracks that do a good job...........

Norwalk......... $1.00 ice cream, tons of advertising, great show for the fans
VMP (08)....... did the same thing last year, tons of free tickets from NAPA
Maple Grove(08).... on saturday nite, they offered $20 car load special.... the place was packed! cars were lined up for miles trying to get into the track.
Belle Rose........ I've heard of the great job Pat is doing down there... just have not seen it first had yet!
MIR............Always draws a crowd..... must be tradition!
I'm sure there are others........ (don't feel offended if you did not make my list)

GREAT JOB VMP!
Keep up the good work
