After returning from a 12 year hiatus from racing one thing stands out as very different. Almost no spectators in the stands. Literally a few dozen. Wow. I've been reading about how bad it is but didn't really hit me till I saw it. How are we going to get spectators in the stands? The top dragster/top sportsman classes didn't bring em. The nitro Harley's didn't bring em.

One place stands out... Norwalk. Whatever Bader is doing is working that's for sure. I'm concerned how much longer our sportsman venue is going to survive with essentially zero spectator revenue.

Are racer and crew entries alone enough to cover the costs for nhra divisionals??
