Sprint week takes me to tracks that I normally do not go to and the support classes give me an idea of how well the track is doing.

Just to address your above mention of a place for "people to complain"... Promoters should monitor message boards like this and be grateful for the free information they can gain from these places. Not one person has complained about the main course (non-wing sprint racing) but many have voiced objection to things like seating, track conditions, timeliness of the events, etc. and promoters should consider all these constructive criticisms in trying to put a better product out. Many companies have to spend money on surveys to improve their overall product but here you get it free. Like any data, one may have to sort through some bs but most all the information can be usefull. If you had an eating establishment and had the best grilled chicken in the US yet the business was still off because your salads were made with wilted lettuce, or your seats were busted up, or the wait time was unacceptable would you not want to know why customers might be staying away?
Just to keep the record straight, I am not asking any promoter or track operator coming on here to try to defend what they do. I know its a thankless job with long hours and many nights a struggle just to break even. If they are comfortable with coming on here to pass along updates and improvements that is fine but for the most part they need not post to justify any actions to us arm chair quarterbacks who have nothing vested in the game other than a few hours of our time and a purchased ticket.
