Who cares about spectators if you are a racer?

As a racer, I care about spectators for the following reasons.
1. I like people to see my car go down the track.
2. The more people in the stands, the greater the entertainment value and the more available to pay out in winnings (why do you think the purses are so much bigger in cirlce track racing than in drag racing and why do you think F1 budgets make NASCAR budgets look like high school football budgets, even Texas high school football budgets?).
3. The more spectators, the easier it is to get sponsorships-sponsors aren't it out of the goodness of their hearts, Evan Knoll possibly being the exception.
4. If ALL you care about is the racing, please sign and forward all you winning checks to me.
