The stands were packed for divisional races in the '60s & '70s, but Pro Stock & Top Gas & Top Fuel raced divisional races back then. Paid more, counting contingencies, than it does now with nowhere near $100.00 to enter. That same number of dollars bought way more than it does now. You could build a new car with the money you won for winning Stock at Indy. You could probably put a deposit on a new engine (if you don 't do your own) with your winnings now. Or, in my case this year, pay my Visa bill for the month of Indy this year. LOL
