Whether it's a ISW, UMP Summer nationals or any other special race (especially on a week night) I believe the event should be run with as many support divisions as the track wants with the stipulation that only one support division be run in conjunction with the "headliner" until the "headliner" feature has taken place. At that time anyone wanting to stay and enjoy the support divisions may do so and those who already feel they've gotten ample value for their ticket price is free to go home. I understand that many of the venues need the extra pit passes to help cover the costs of these larger events but to put fans in the position of having to sit through the addtional races doesn't make sense to me. I would love to hear an explanation from someone who puts one of these shows on to be able to better understand the logic. I can't wrap my head around the fact that if there are 4 divisions that run 6 races each (4 x 6) = 24 events, then why could you not run (2 x 6) = 12 then run the additional support divisions (2 x 6) = 12; 12 +12 = 24 and have the same show just with the people who came to the the "headliner" on the road home at a decent time. I suspect very few hot dogs amd hamburgers are sold after 9 or 9:30 anyway...
