Seeing the race cars up close and putting a face to the driver driving those cars just adds something to the whole experience for them. I know that's what set the hook in me, when I was that age, at this track. If USAC wants to have an event that will go a long way towards making making up for what happened today, let them pit like they did today, where the fans can be a part of it and then actually give them a race to see at the end of the day and they'll have a chance to really hit one out of the park. Today was a potential great day at the Terre Haute Action Track, that just totally blew up at the end.

I agree Jerry, I loved that they were pitting in that area. Especially since they didn't enforce a pit pass thing (be sorta hard).
