THIS is all the racers that are paying the entry fee at the gate care about, not spectators in the stands, not the concessions stand, not a barbecue and not live music.

Divisionals will not be great again!
I have to agree with Ed here. These tracks have to decide if they can get enough entries to justify having a division race. It would be really hard for a track owner to throw money at trying to draw spectators to an event that like it or not people just aren't interested in us. I know it hurts my pride a little to say that but it's true. We had some friends of ours go to Charlotte in the Spring with us and I honestly had a headache at the end of the day trying to explain the different classes and how each worked. They wanted to be interested but they just didn't get it but when the Pros ran they really didn't ask any questions but loved it......heads up classes is what people understand and like
