Summit Racing gave away an awful lot of tickets, and I saw a lot of folks coming in with those free tickets in hand. Good for Summit Racing. They know who to make it good for the cars and the people. More people equals more cars, and a better show.

It is a circle that some folks just don't get, but more people draws more people. And that is what we all talk about, how to fill more seats, so that the whole experience, for spectators and racers is better.

Once again congrats to Summit Racing for making this a great event.

It was great to see folks streaming in, not great to get out and caught in the traffic jams around the park, but hey, it was all good. A good race, and great group of spectators. We had metric ton of folks stop by, take pictures, and had about a dozen kids sitting (one or two at a time) in the Drag Pak. We even signed autographs for some of the kids. Way Cool!

But those kids are the racers of tomorrow. Drag racing will never be like it was back in the day. Bu that doesn't mean we should stop trying to make a good experience for the fans. Drooze, still talks about experiences he had growing up, like hangin with Smokey Yunnick in the pits at the Brickyard, etc. We may not be the Big names. But I can tell you those kids will look at those pictures the parents and Grand parents took, and remember that car. And they will remember that Racing is fun. Even if you are a 10 year old spectator.
