Div 2 Pts Meet @ South Ga.

Track operators need to look at the Baders and see how they promote their points meet. They advertise the race as a sportsman spectacular, they have a night of fire, wheelstanders,and jet cars ,the people like that crap. and they fill the stands with this. Other tracks should look at this type of promotion.

The class racers HATE that crap (wheelstanders, jet cars, circus acts) so less class racers will show up. Jet cars spray kerosine all over the lanes which makes for interesting runs for the lowly sportsman racers. Its a SPORTSMAN race....not a show for "Joe Lunch box" and his rug rats. Run those circus acts at some vinues other than where the class cars trying to hook up on 9 inch tires. They always run stock and/or Super Stock AFTER the jet cars when they should run Top Fuel and Funny Ha Ha cars after them instead. Might as well go to an NHRA or IHRA National event instead where the track really SUCKS.

You do not need a circus to draw a crowd. You need proper promotion, decent prices, and a well run race.

You cannot draw a crowd with no promotion, and certainly not if you're going to charge $20 a head to get in, $3 for a cup full of ice with 6 oz. of Coke, and $5 for a dried out hockey puck on a stale bun.

Fans will not sit in the stands and look at an empty track with a floor scrubbing machine, either, especially not at $20 a head.

You can't buy in a circus act or a dog and pony show and get $20 a head, either. You can't draw enough of a crowd to pay for it, so it just costs you more profit.
