No doubt a lot of small dirt tracks were constructed before admission prices were $25.00 to attend.
I think of the dirt tracks I attend in non-wing racing, Terre Haute is one of the best for facilities. I usually sit west of the grandstand and the seats actually have aisles so you can get out of your seat. The seats are actually wide enough to sit on. They have civilized rest rooms.
In the 60's and 70's it didn't seem you were in your seat as long during the event. Usually sprint car races didn't have support classes so the show was more focused, and just about sprint car racing. Much better announcing in my opinion, announcers used to make it interesting. It's not uncommon now to sit for 5 or 6 hours and the only time the announcers talk much about the drivers are when the cars are running.
