What is really funny is when the Pro team races there are very many very many non-racers on the starting line with the cars amazing huh we cannot even get close to the starting line to watch our class ??? or Pro stock even

At Ennis last fall, I went up near the starting line on FRIDAY morning to watch stock / super stock stuff run. Rent-a-Cop ran me off. I was the ONLY person in that entire section. Seriously?

You guys should have been at St Louis national event last fall. I was there as a spectator on Friday. It was crazy the way they were treating people. You didn’t even have to stand at the fence. Stopping to tie your shoe was enough to get threatened with removal from the track. You absolutely could not be stationary between the grandstands and the fence.

When/why did they stop allowing people to stand at the fence? If it’s the rules it the rules. I’m just curious why.
