A few years ago I was in Leaders Edge picking up a rear end, and this came up in conversation about the crowds. As they were all being in there 50's and the only young people at the track were the drivers. So after having this chat I started really observing the crowds and you guys are right 50 and up. Here is the sad thing I am a High School Vocational teacher in Illinois I got the local track to give me free passes for students that done well in class and different things. Non of the kids wanted to go to the races. I have invited many students to go to the races with us to help out and I would pay their way and they don't want to go. The big Kicker is last weekend I could not go to the races on Friday cause I coach football, my son was going to go and run he is 25 been racing his whole life. He didn't go cause he had no help, he call about 5 guys to see if they would go and help him, pay their way in and nobody wanted to go. Video games and Beer are more fun. Good thing is the car is in one piece LoL Crowds in Indiania I feel are still good but in Illinois not so good, our track in Iowa we race at you cold throw a hand full of rocks and hit no one in the stands. Sad but to the Silver Crown question I will go to a crown race any where love those cars But I am old too Lol
