We did this at Mercer and about 1/2 the fans came down and got autographs and Hero cards and the other 1/2 became very loud and impatient wanting to see the feature start. Damned if you do and damned if you don't!!!
I like Gas City's solution of letting the fans in the pits early to do the meet and greet. I am generally beat after the races and if we are on the road, still have to go to the car wash or drive a great distance so you probably won't see me at my best!!
