They used the gate to the pits from the inside of the track so that everyone had already paid their general admission. Maybe this would allow more driver/ fan interaction and be a good compromise. I know that by the time the races are over and I take my daughter to the pits, a lot of guys are loaded up and leaving for their long trip home.
Eldora has a pre race pit party now at just about every race including tomorrow night. On Family Fun Nights, they take all the cars up to the Fan Zone for an hour for autographs.
Very popular.
