If you want to see a great example of fan participation then one only needs to visit the Rushville fairgrounds during a UMRA race. Back when I first started in the UMRA I was blown away by the number of people that would come into the pits. At 16 years old I couldn't believe someone would want my autograph. The look on the kids faces was priceless when the would be climbing around the car or talking to the drivers.
I honestly think that fan interaction is crucial for the welfare of our sport!
