I was getting to this next. Thanks
Some of you might remember Indy tech in at the shopping center down the street?
I can't see why something like this wouldn't help to bring the locals out to a Divisional.
In today's world, Mr. Top 10 rolls into town with his rig, pulling a big white box.
All the locals see is what could be Joe's Lawn Care. or Mom and Pop RV-ing, with their Jeep inside. In other words, no help getting the word out about the race this weekend.
How about this:
My revamped schedule has time on Thursday and Friday evenings for a free car show in the staging lanes. Let the locals in , no charge ,after the day's qualifying.
Sort of a Meet the Racers night.
They might just pay to come back on Saturday to watch their new friends.
How many here , of those who want to make Divs great again, would participate?
