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.

Well I guess with what your saying, facts must be lies? Camera views from Flo showing less and less attendance must be camera magic? Several several people on here that goes to TriState regularly and talk about it on here how the attendance is down must also be liars? Now were gonna bring up Covid? Really digging deep for excuses except the obvious that people are over and some done with the hour plus farming show.
Oh the rain? Interesting that now comes into play. Indiana had its worst drought in 2022 since 2012. Furthermore Indiana's rainfall and water table is lower then it ever has been at this point in the year, late May/early June. Dryest Spring on record in Indiana for 2023. Hmmm, Haubstadt must be hogging all the rain from the rest of the state, no wonder Indiana had a drought last year and is headed in the same direction again this year. Oh wait meteorologist lying too?
I'm gonna get ready to go to Indy and be a part of low attendance bc it's a Monday. Enjoy your day!!
