These are the same fans who almost seem to treat anything below Pro Stock with contempt, and appear to enjoy walking 10 abreast thru the pits and staging lanes, and holding up the cars trying to manuver past them on the way to the staging lanes withut overheating. Of course not all are like that, but many are.
