Patti,
Illiana Motor Speedway is a real nice track that normally has good crowds for its racing events. I have enjoyed watching Silver Crown, Sprints, Midgets and yes even stock cars race there. I am sure that the weather would be a number one factor in a less than stellar crowd last night. As Pat pointed out, this USAC show is a different type of situation. I attend regularly at Anderson and Mount Lawn and find it to be a very entertaining evening of racing but the crowds at either of theses tracks is also sparse. The folks who stay at home are the losers.
Normally a great evening of racing that is over around 9:30 PM or so.
I feel for you with the closing of Manzanita, but I am also afraid that we will see more of this in the very near future. If only we could pick the ones that we would like to see closed?
I have a couple that come to mind that should be shuttered. They will probably hang in there forever though.
