Re: When was the last time......
well, there are some good tracks out on the west coast.... hadn't heard anyone chime in yet so it looked like all east coast and midwestern.
as a former announcer (can you ever be a former announcer) I try to educate many of the fans!! I watched the Arizona Nationals from the suites behind the tower. When the super classes came up and the cars went on the stop everyone groaned like it broke, then "yeah" when it came off the stop, so I held class and explained that. When the Stock and Super Stock classes came up I again had to explain as many people looked at me for help. BTW I had everyone rooting for our little brown Horizon against the Big Bad Mustang. No offense to the mustang, but everyone loves the underdog. Many people loved the Stock and SuperStock classes as they related to them, I even heard one guy say, "I bet my camaro can do that" I said "bring it out, give it a try" I think educating people(then they will bring their friends next time) will bring them to the seats in the stands or better yet, in the lanes. It's getting the tracks to see that, and the announcers to see that. If you have an announcer that makes up names for classes it doesn't help. As a racer, go to the tower, help the announcer out, show some pride, make the fans want to see the cars.
