Make Divisionals Great Again

I know of 2 tracks in Division 6 that have many people attend the Divisionals.

One is Firebird Raceway near Boise Idaho. The New family knows how to pack the place. Last year when I went to the class runoffs on Saturday the parking lot was packed when I left about 5 p.m. I had lunch for $13. It was a big burger, french fries and a large Coke. Good time and good food.

The other one is Woodburn Drag Strip near Woodburn, Oregon. This track is run by the Severance family, I believe. I was there last year for all 4 days of the double Divisional. One side of the track was filled with people camping for ALL 4 days. The cost to do so was reasonable, I am told. The spectator parking lot was full for the weekend. The food was good and reasonably priced. The racers and spectators ALL had a good time and lots of people roaming the pits at various times.

I am sure some advertising was involved and word of mouth helps, also. The tracks have to promote the events and offer a good time at reasonable costs for these events to be profitable.

The racer costs are what they are. Probably set by someone above my paygrade.
