Our local track here in IL had a big "exhibition" style race a few years ago that is now an annual deal, but they advertised it on the radio and I heard multiple people say that they did not even know that Central Illinois had a drag strip. Growing up in the area and in the sport I always just assumed that since I am 21 and know that the track is there, then everyone else in the area that has any interest in the sport must know that too. It really opened my eyes to just how poorly promoted several tracks have been for the past 15-20 years.
