      I started on the front stretch in 1975. If the front stretch was my only seating choice now, I would quit attending. As a non drinker, you can find plenty of sections that are calm on the back stretch on a regular night.

              I have never sat on the front stretch and there isn’t that many drunks on the back stretch.

                  From a financial standpoint though was it worth it to put in all the extra time to race? Sounded like the fan count wasn't great either. Obviously if you schedule it they will come from a drivers view but its up to the fans to show up also.

                    The last time I sat in the Grandstands, I would guess that Joe Williams or Dave Feese won. Weather and people saving $$ the week before the PDC is my assumption of the low turnout fan wise.

                      Car counts and fan counts have been down all year, a few weeks they had less than 10 modifieds.

                        That goes back to the sanctioning bodies getting these racecar bodies back under control. Get the bodies back up off the ground and it will slow them down, reduce expenses, and make the racing better.

                          I know of another form of racing having the same problem.

                            Late model count has been down to a month or so they had 12 late models. I've been 5 times to fairbury an attendance has been way down all year.

                              Their shows run way too long. I quit going to regular shows and only attend the big shows now. Should be interesting to see how things go this week after that mess the other night.

                                No, I haven't. I know it's a different ball game then what I run but I'd take that track over some ive been on.
                                Just a Sportmod racer at Nelson Boys Racing.
