It's hard to top that.

Winner!, stock and super stock are almost as boring to watch as the super classes. I will say back in the 90's and 00's it seemed like the tracks would actually advertise they were have a divisional race on the local radio and paper. Now it seems they don't care if they have any spectators or not. I remember going to Reynolds in 01 and on the spectator side they were three rows deep camping the whole weekend. Now they are lucky to have 1 row half way down the fence.

Maybe since the tracks are not drawing a crowd they should just charge 5-10 dollars spectator fee.....It's more than they are getting now.................. If crowd starts coming then step up the fee little by little ,but don't kill them

Good thought Danny, but it will never work.......Makes too much sense!

On track internet betting via your "iphone" at the race would surely spark interest from the casual spectator. I remember how the local bros used to throw down the C notes in the stands at MIR in the 80's
