Part of what hurt drag racing

Randy,
I do like seeing cars on open trailers... my boys both point them out when they see them on the highway, if I dont first! LOL
Not sure that had major impact on the tracks and sport, but probably did not help any.
I am old enough now to say I remember when (45)... tracks had good car counts and good crowds in the stands. Was a cheap night out when I was in highschool to go to the track. BS with friends, watch the cars, no cops to worry about if I was drinking beer until we left... etc. Some good reasons, some not so good... LOL
Less cars hurt the track. They raise fan prices, trying to make up for it, and then lose that also. Not making any money, so dont want to gamble on paying for show cars to come, for bigger purses, etc. BAD spiral.
I dont have the answers. Just agreeing and sounding off I guess.
Have a good weekend.
