People wonder why the stands are empty and young people, don't get excited and want to go to the races. Before you jump down my throat, about the past. Remember the stands were full and we had a lot more tracks. Things started going down hill after Lenard McCarl showed up at Eldora in 74 with a enclosed trailer.

Leonard had the fire breathing #7...the first enclosed trailer I remember was Seiberts.

I think the shirt selling should come as part of the deal...Have a trailer all drivers can sell shirts out of.
Heck..make it easy to be a fan, and let the drivers make a little extra. Let the fans buy shirts any time, like I said make it easy. Make it easy for them to make up their minds to come back.
