I like your ideas Brian. I think with some local advertising and treating the divisional races like MLB Minor League ball games you could make the event something very entertaining and affordable for people. Throw in some local live music and tasty bbq food on Friday and Saturday nights!

whose paying for these barbecues and live music, not the track owners!

Las Vegas Motor Speedway-Muscle Cars at the Strip puts on a 3 day sportsman event every year. Great entertainment, food, etc. The place is usually packed and is a lot of fun. You should come check it out. Next years event is scheduled 3-17-24 to 3-19-24. Hope to see you there!

You bring up a good point. By contrasting Muscle Cars at the Strip, which is a fun filled event that attracts many, many spectators vs the Division 7 race at Las Vegas, you realize the promoters make all the difference. The energy and excitement level from promoters at Muscle Cars at the Strip is very apparent, they really try to express their appreciation to the racers and spectators, offer several events within the event, and best of all showcase Stock and Superstock. On the other hand, the Division 7 race is pretty much focused on just getting the race in with very little excitement and nothing else going on.

I believe Randy Painter and his brother are the primary event promoters for Muscle cars at the Strip, while Phil Mandella of PMR organizes the Stock/SuperStock race.
