Re: Norwalk event a wake up call? 45,000 spectator day @ divisional.
I was surprized the crowd was so tame...Definatley rural folk not city trash but ugly just the same..lots of overweight out of shape kids..Just my perspective.

Like I've said before ...let them in for free (or real cheap) & they'll come! they will then buy your pop,beer,ice cream,popcorn,& burgers! To me it's a no brainer! way to go Mr. Bader!

You know this is all supposed to be for fun! Heck, I've had folks who don't know me or my spending make rude comments about me here, but I'm just glad they can't vote in elections. (OMG, or can they??) Cook me something good for lunch at Joliet OK? |

Our local circle track holds 300' street drags on Friday nights and charges $5.00 for car entry, pit pass or spectator pass, take your pick. Draws more spectators in one night than most of the local drag strips can draw in a year. You can lure spectators to a drag race if you want them.

Re: Norwalk event a wake up call? 45,000 spectator day @ divisional.
This past week I received five, free tickets in the mail for next months' points meet at Houston Raceway Park. Twenty dollar tickets good for either Saturday or Sunday. HRP did this a few years ago for the ADRL race and the place packed something like 50 thousand plus. Parking fee plus the beer and shirts brought in a LOT of money for the track.

Re: Norwalk event a wake up call? 45,000 spectator day @ divisional.
All remaining NHRA Divisonals should feature free spectator admisson, or no more than $5 spectator admisson for the future 2010 Lucas Oil Div. races. Drop race entry fees $50-$75 as well for 2010 season remainder, to help the competitor a little....Fans will spend some $ on food, drink and a souvenier or 2. Track owners will make at least something.....and the racer will get at least some fuel or lunch $....the $25 each or more spectator admisson fee in this economy will not put hardly ANYONE in the stands.....that has already been proven for the last few years now.....Norwalk/Summit had the idea, let's see if the rest are smart enough to follow.....it could really help fill the stands most everywhere....almost like " back when".......there's another .02 cents worth of dreaming for everyone.....
