I think my estimates are low on both tracks and fans in attendance but it's still more than people attending tennis or golf tournaments a week, I guess the tv coverage for them is because they have balls.

It goes without saying that if I am not at a speedway any given weekend there are only the following reasons:
1. Day job has taken me out of the country/offshore.
2. Weather
3. Season over.
That is pretty much it.
