I was talking with a friend from out west this morning about the same thing.
Could the problem be that most promoters have given up on trying to make any money on the front gate so they are now focusing their efforts on the back gate only and think only about car count and pit passes sold. Could this be hurting the quality of the show and even driving the front gate attendance down even more.
He thought the answer to be successful was being able to do or accomplish 4 things.
1. Pay a good purse for quality race cars. (Quality over Quantity>>what is magic about 20 cars)
2. Go out and work to build up the front gate. (The front gate should pay the purse)
3. Have good and not overpriced concessions. (be competitive with Mc D's in price and quality)
4. Be seen as fair by all of the competitors
The promoter needs to achieve all of these 4 objectives>>>> if he doesn't he is probably in trouble.
