Again living in winged car country I have noticed they don't like water. It's common for the tracks to take rubber and that is what they seam to prefer. If that happens at a non wing race the crowd is ready to hang the promoter, At a winged car race the majority of the fans only talk about how awesomely fast the cars were and wipe the layer of dust off their vehicles and smile all the way home.
That seems to be something the winged car fans have in common with the NASCAR, Modified, and late model fans. They don't car if the race is single file. A lot of fans don't seem to care if there is actually any racing going on. (although they do get excited when someone "moves" a car with the bumper is seems)
I went to a USMTS race a couple of years ago and the leaders caught the lappers with 8 laps and just followed them to the finish scared to get out of the rubber and get freight trained. Sitting at turn 4 you couldn't see the cars in turn 1 and most of 2 for the dust. Going to the car all you heard was how awesome that race was.
