Dale.....What fans? I havent seen anyone at MIR watching unless they are with a car (Family, crew, friends) unless its a friggin' monkey circus act. Even the IHRA points races dont have any spectators and the "Prez cup" so call National event is lack luster at best and what few do come to watch are there for the Top FOOLERS that usually keep the track from rusting !. Royce lost a ton of money (2 or 3 hundred thousand) at the last race. I go to several circut races that Dave Ley puts on and again.....zip for spectators. Even the Dutch Classic at Maple Grove only the most hard core spectator (notice I said spectator and not spectators) is there. The people in the stands are WITH someone racing with about 10 cars in the spectator parking lot. Very few even care anymore except us old "Gear Head" guys.
