Spectators watch SS/AH?

I was there Thursday, Friday, and Monday, and tried to catch all the SS/AH sessions I could........tough when they use them for "filler" with no real schedule to run on, if you were 30 feet away from your seats, they were done before you could get back, and it REALLY didn't help to end up with a pair of singles for the semi-final.....at least that is what I think happened.
I couldn't get back in time to see what happened.
Maybe I missed more than I thought.

Fact is, anyone under 40 years old that is a "casual fan" would have NO CLUE what the big deal is about SS/AH......

Real racers and race fans are in the stands for the Stock, Super/Stock, and Comp Eliminator runs, all the seat fillers are there to see the fire, death, and destruction advertised on TeeVee for the Fuel classes.
The Nationals are no better than a NAPCAR race.
