This is an issue in both sanctioning bodies. Just because tracks fail to promote their events does not mean that there is not a show to be seen. Several years ago, Mooresville bothered to spend $2K on radio and sold 1,500 1-day passes on that Sunday alone, at $20/head. Don't know what they did for promotion, but we had a great crowd at Union County's Pro-Am last year. Norwalk chooses a different scheme, and its results are legendary. One thing's for sure: No promotion, no spectators.
