I have never been to Bandimere but your description pretty well nails my experience. I completely comprehend that, physically, many race installations suffer from topography challenges necessitating unique parking arrangements but, the facts are, IRP is not one of those tracks and likely is one or two in the U.S. in total acreage footprint yet NHRA persists in abandoning its participants in favor of desperation attempts to boost an ever decreasing attendance. The original audience appeal of NHRA racing was, and always has been, the quality of vehicles and competition; IMHO that's at the core of why spectators attend our events. What happened to the concept that "the RACE" was the show rather than the continuous failed attempts to emulate Reality TV to exploit a cheap unsustainable attendance-boost by hyping and catering to cheesy carnival acts instead of focusing on presenting the highest quality drag race, unavailable anywhere else in the entire country? Thanks, rant over.
