My age is showing but I attended the original SportsNationals in Bowling Green KY. and many follow up races. What a weekend. Racers, entertainment(the park) Crowd there for holiday week end.
Several years ago I excitedly hurried my wife out the door to travel to Columbus for the later addition of the race. Having painted the picture of the BG events we arrived at the gate. No spectator cars in the fields, No people in the pits, They allowed us to enter the PITS with our Motor Home and park for the week end. THats what is wrong in my opinion. Maybe with the age of computers, and iphones and no lack of other events it cannot change back but from what I hear NORWALK does it up with the package of entertainment.
From many racers view as long as they have a place to race and see their friends it doesnt matter but those here discussing see this could be limited arrangement.
NHRA, track owners, and racers could more optimally plan the events to include not only the supporting racers but get money support from crowd and sponsors. It would take work and cooperation.
