I know of 2 tracks in Division 6 that have many people attend the Divisionals.
One is Firebird Raceway near Boise Idaho. The New family knows how to pack the place. Last year when I went to the class runoffs on Saturday the parking lot was packed when I left about 5 p.m. I had lunch for $13. It was a big burger, french fries and a large Coke. Good time and good food. The other one is Woodburn Drag Strip near Woodburn, Oregon. This track is run by the Severance family, I believe. I was there last year for all 4 days of the double Divisional. One side of the track was filled with people camping for ALL 4 days. The cost to do so was reasonable, I am told. The spectator parking lot was full for the weekend. The food was good and reasonably priced. The racers and spectators ALL had a good time and lots of people roaming the pits at various times. I am sure some advertising was involved and word of mouth helps, also. The tracks have to promote the events and offer a good time at reasonable costs for these events to be profitable. The racer costs are what they are. Probably set by someone above my paygrade.

He did not and MG could never finish a big $ race. They never cap the entries and know they won’t finish. Regardless, this ain’t about MG it’s about division and which will never be great again especially in D1

To make divisional’s great again-. Spectators! You need them. The money is made on concessions.
Our home track did not advertise or have cars for spectators as in top Alky, wheelie or a jet car. Most spectators don’t understand what the 90 classes , stock/ Superstock and Comp are about much less bracket cars As much as some stk/SS don’t care for it , we need the 90 , comp and top classes. Otherwise it’s boring to spectators and it’s car counts. Just my opinion. |
