Thank you for your post...we thought we were the only ones who felt this way!! And - based on the Kokomo track announcer's constant promotion of the after race parties - we feel like the non-rowdy fan is no longer valued at the races. We have not attended a race at Gas City for 2 years because of drunks without respect for those around them. We no longer bring our camper to Kokomo because of some of these same people. Tracks say that they want the young fans to come to the tracks - but many times the stands and camping areas are not suitable for children. We do drink beer - but with respect for ourselves and for those around us. We are the fans that eat and drink at the local restaurants and visit the local attractions. But we are also the fans that frequently cannot enjoy the races because of the actions of a growing group of disrespectful fans...a group that appears to have full support from track promoters and staff as well as local law enforcement. This year we were fortunate to be surrounded by a great group of race fans - but we wonder who will occupy the seats next year...
