The dunk tank was a real good idea. It brought excitement to some of the down time cooled off the drivers and was an outlet for the fans. Promoters have to promote and the gang back in the pits need to help them promote their antics.

The best promotion besides the guy that jumps in the box with the stick of dynamite that I can remember as a kid was the promoter at the Sports-Drome down in Jeffersonville In. managed to find a guy with a heard of Camels. He decided to drag race them with the most popular drivers on board as Jockeys. It brought out a great crowd with the grandstands filled on both sides of the race track.

However it did backfire on him just a tad bit, Andy Hampton one of his big name drivers at the time fell off one of them dumb things during his race and broke his arm putting him out of commission for several weeks.

We need to do whatever it takes to make the show more enjoyable for the fans. It may take having the drivers leave the pits for a bit to help the promoter out. Way back in the day the purse was a percentage of the gate and the more people they could get through the turn stiles the more money the racers made. I am going to make a personal search for that Camel Rancher if any Promoters are interested, I figure him to be about a hundred and ten by now.
