Thanks for the videos. Looks like some good racing during the week-end. As you watch the videos so you see a very sad reminder of the state of our sport? This event is in the heart of "Southern Drag Racing." The spectator side stands are completely empty. Maybe a dozen people in the stands on the pit side and a few along the fence. Before I posted on this thread I did a poll last night at a classic car cruise in at a local restaurant to see how many people knew about the event. NOT one knew that a week-end long IHRA event was taking place less than 35 miles away. I can look at the stands and tell the tracks are not making alot of money. I was at Fayetteville Motorsports on Sunday, could not go to Benson on Friday and Saturday, some good race cars but NO spectators. How do the tracks expect to continue with the racers being the only ones paying. I Know the story about "it's posted on the internet," but everyone don't go on the internet looking for a drag race. With all of the radio ads started for Z-Max there will be people there. I know because some who did not know about the race at Benson already knew and were making plans to go to Z-Max.
