If there is no problem with sprint car racing. I'd like to ask why is it that 'Tin Tops' as you people call them or 'Taxi Cabs' always have full fields and the stands are packed? You go to a Lucas Oil show, a WOO show, The Dream, The World, North/South you name it, the stands are packed practically standing room only. What's the deal? I have never EVER seen sprint crowds like these mentioned above.
I believe it's because they can relate to the cars themselves and probably a little more geared to the common man. These guys still distinguish Ford, Chevy, Pontiac, Dodge that ole thing. Even though the cars look the same they have the decal and powerplant that sets them apart. Most I know refer to sprints as 'dune buggies' not even cars, they don't realize the challenge it is to drive these cars, nor do they seem to care. It pains me to see some of the replies on here like "move on" or "don't come to races then". what is that? Duke has good ideas along with others on how to lower costs but they just go unheard, or worse made fun of. Over the years it's really seperated the 'have's' and 'have not's' and in recent times the 'have not's' are following the advice of a few and not coming or finding something else to do. Are you just going to ignore the problem until you have 10 Teams racing? It's come to a point in which changes are needed or die out...only time will tell what happens. My guess the stubborn will prevail and fields will continue to dwindle along with the crowds.
