We often here the lament about the shrinking size of our fan base. So a few thoughts to perhaps IMHO to combat this. 1. Have a program or at least a sheet of paper listing car, driver and hometown. Veteran fans know this info., but not the newcomer 2. Single car quals so the newcomer can match car and driver with program 3. On track driver intros. before feature with driver not in car 4. Push program start time ahead 1 hour during DST so more racing done under lights, rather than blazing sun drying out track 5. no support classes for major events, reducing overall time of program and track deterioration 6. reduce dust 7. clean restrooms 8. knowledgeable and professional track announcers who actually call the races; Jack Miller and Chris Economaki understood this 9. in a perfect world where insurance companies, litigious lawyers and space permitted pit areas would be in middle of track. Of course this means the giant Mayflower trailers would have to be outside instead of blocking the view of the paying customer.
