I agree w/ Tony. As a racer, why do we care if the stands are filled. Sure it's nice to feel like part of the show. It's not like NHRA will decrease entry or increase the payout for the class racers. We pay to race whether there are people in the stands or not. We don't get paid to just show up. We are the filler to entertain while the "real show" is preparing. It is up to NHRA to get the butts in the seats. Don't they promote the meet and greet w/ the "pro" drivers. When are the spectators able to do so if they are watching us class racers. My 2 cents
