Well im all for opening the pits to spectators, However there could be no moving traffic in the pits. Something like a shut down area when exiting the track. That or having the pits setup to where it's safe to enter the Sprint area when the sprints aren't running or finished their feature

Quite honestly, Its not value anymore. Its mediocrity (SP?) when tickets are sold for 12 bucks to a events of Sprint Car calibler. Some well respected car owner and I chatted last night briefly and said if one class track like LBurg or Haubstadt would pay 3000 to win 300 to start that they could pretty much OWN INDIANA in drawing the top teams and best racing. Time for the promotors to stop giving the gate away and making them quick run events that people want to come back too..

Seriously, Would Bloomingtons attendance seriously be affected if they raised the gate to 17? Why not? Because it's the place to be on a friday night in Bloomington.

Make your track the place to be and you can pretty much set your price.
