As for support classes, I'd much rather see MSCS Sprints then what I'm gonna see tonight...Crown Vics. I will always say and most I think would as well that track prep is needed and is better then no track prep at all. However, over an hour long? I think that's a lil absurd in my opinion and I truly feel that is 90%+ the reason attendance is getting lower and lower at TriState. There's not one single race there that people haven't complained about the long farming delays this year.
Again, you're making a blanket statement that just isn't true. Attendance isn't getting ""lower and lower" at TSS. Crowds have been strong since after the COVID lockdown. I sit on the front stretch and usually, if I'm not there sometime around an hour before hot laps, my ass is parking in the field, back behind the backstretch and I'm hoofing back around to where I sit.

Last night's crowd sucked. It was shockingly low. But, if you actually had ever been there, you would know last night is not indicative of any major trend. The only thing that's had a major effect on the number of people watching races at TSS in the last few years has been the "R" word, rain.
