Again, where is the sizzle to excite these young people who are the future of our sport?[/QUOTE]

Create a party type atmosphere at the tracks for the younger people to enjoy.People always say the kids are the ones to concentrate on, but I disagree. They have no money to spend of their own. Sure they can bug a parent to go but lets be realistic money is tight.The people I would try and get to my track would be over 21 and working class.Hell if it were up to me I would make every race have a snake pit,beerhill, ghetto,or etc and let the natives take over. Over the years me and my other racing friends have brought many new people to the tracks, the only races they ever want to go back to are the party events. I could make someones first race IRP Silver crown and there would be a chance they might not come back. The party is what keeps a lot of us younger people coming back or going in the first place. I have seen many terrible tracks and races but I am a fan and will always come back.Hard to explain to a newbie that sometimes the racing just flat sucks and sometimes its great! One more thing that might help with the younger crowd is to allow booing in the stands.Give the fans a chance to feel like there are good guys and bad guys just like at a basketball game.Most of the fans that go anymore are as you all stated old timers who sit on their hands the whole show.Everyone enjoy your season I will be the loud one booing your favorite driver.

After many of his wins Stanbrough’s fans can be heard chanting “King of Indiana.” - quote from onedirt.com
