Glad the TV ratings were high, 'cause there was a lot of silver showing through in the stands.
I don’t watch the show but they do a great job attracting the crowds. That is happening every where they go. Bowling Green was like that the week prior.i know not everyone does FB, but here's a link the to street outlaw's event at BIR this last friday/saturday.
i'm not a fan, but apparently i'm in the minority. not too much 'silver' in that main grandstand.
the pit pics are a carbon copy of the nat. event. i like how they have the feather flags off the end of the haulers
to identify to team......i believe some, but not all pros have similar I.D. method........this act stomps the nhra in nielsen ratings,
and now they are attracting thousands at our very own nat. event tracks.....as a track owner, how can you possibly pass
up this opportunity. this was their first appearance at BIR.
edit.....apparently can not link to a FB page?..... for those with FB, look for brainerd international raceway page
But it's important to remember that Bristol probably has 4x the amount of seats as somewhere like Epping, which looked packed last race. Had you taken that Epping crowd and plopped them down at Zmax, the place would look completely empty. Until NHRA starts releasing actual attendance figures, you can't really compare attendance figures from track to track based on pictures alone.The angle that tower shot was taken can be deceiving, as to how many people are actually in the seats.
There were some straight on shots, and a couple neat overhead drone shots, during the broadcast.
As Mike Larson referred to, there were a bunch of empty seats.

Mike you're saying that to stand on the line is a premium? WowHarry, the bank account would look a lot smaller. Huge money to get on the starting line
Hi Mike. What is "huge money"?Harry, the bank account would look a lot smaller. Huge money to get on the starting line
A couple of points about no prep kings. 1st, they lease the track, so limited income for track. 2nd accessibility, drivers and teams available to fans, kind of like NHRA use to be. NHRA now with all the haulers, cannot get close to cars and drivers. 3rd. No et or speed on scoreboards. Who cares about et, reaction time, only thing that matters is who gets to finish line 1st.i know not everyone does FB, but here's a link the to street outlaw's event at BIR this last friday/saturday.

NHRA is as good as it's always been in terms of fan access (and still light years ahead of NASCAR, Indycar, Formula 1, etc.). I don't know where you got it from that it's gotten worse. Was at Bristol this past weekend, you could get close enough to touch the cars, and the vast majority of drivers went out multiple times a day to sign stuff for peopleA couple of points about no prep kings. 1st, they lease the track, so limited income for track. 2nd accessibility, drivers and teams available to fans, kind of like NHRA use to be.
