At my last job I used to organize outtings to Lincoln Speedway and Williams Grove a couple times a year. I've introduced 20 + people to Sprint Car racing. I took an F1 fan from Scottland to the Grove once and he loved it He was an F1 snob that would not even watch any American racing until I had him stand in the infield of turn one at the Grove. He was amazed! Also had a couple guys from India that I took to Lincoln too. They had fun, but it wasn't their cup of tea! I got my boss an and another co-worker hooked on racing who never attended an event. Now we've been to races all over the country together.

Now because I go pit side so much I don't take new fans with me. I can't keep track of them and take photos at the same time.
