Nothing different to generate interest from fans of anything else, or to give the fans that had been going every week something different to see.
Mel has tried that this year...it doesn't seem to help. People often complain not too many tracks run midgets, he's brought midgets back. He's tried bringing in that AMCS series and other smaller series' to race. He's doing this bike race thing trying to get kids there and last night did that exhibition but to no avail. It's just a shame all around. I realize the weather was working against the track last night but as you said this isn't a new development.
