I went from 62 per year to 32 per year, so my attendance decreased by 30 races or about half. I spend about $30 each time I go to the track, so tracks are losing $900 per year on just me. It ain't just gas, if there is a chance of rain and it's far away, I don't go any more. I basically don't go unless the weather is good enough to ride my motorcycle and save on gas too.

I used to go to between 80 and 100 races per year. This year I have been to 4. Last year just 1. And I traveled beyond Indiana quite often. I doubt anyone stepped up to fill in my now missing attendance.

I dont have Flo though,nor any of the others. I always wanted to be there in person.
