At the Divisional race at New England Dragway for the last several years, they have been bringing in a couple of wheelstanders and a jet truck to run amongst the alcohol cars, and a few sportsman cars. I live about 100 miles from the track, and I see the advertising on TV. This race is late August, so it is already getting dark a little earlier in the evening, making the flames show up better. It is also 2 1/2 months after the national event, so time for the spectators to get their fix of drag racing. They seem to fill the stands pretty well. I don't know any of the specifics on profitability, but I'm sure it helps. The alcohol cars are already there, so that part of the program is free to the track.
