Couple thoughts. It sure looked on tv as a huge crowd, as big as World 100 crowds if not bigger. So much for streaming keeping people away. Good racing outside of the heat races last night. Winged heat races usually produce glorified hotlap session. However the other night when they spun the wheel to get the 5 invert it was better. Back to the original topic. I don’t see a downside to this at all. I think it’s great to have a weekday big money sprint race you can watch on Flo, like the late model series they already have. I also think it’s great it’s coming to LPS. Really cool the great Kyle Larson calls it one of his favorite tracks. I know many of you feel the same way. Great to see them get the spotlight of the inaugural event of what should become a popular series. I hope they stay on the schedule going forward. If things go well it could be a huge positive advertisement for the Hoosier state dirt track. Would we love to see it wingless? Hell yes many of us would. But let me share an unfortunate truth. The demand for wingless is not there. Example, here we are going into one of the best stretches of events in sprint car racing, Indiana Sprint Week, and outside of USAC posts on Twitter, extremely low national attention. Now to be clear I don’t follow everyone, or see all posts, but there’s a very noticeable difference in exposure level. And as long as our reluctance to promote and support big events continue, well.....
