I’m not sure how that track is laid out but if the pros are pitted on the right side of the track most of the people buy reserved seats on that side too. It saves walking back and forth walking all day. So the camera are showing the side with less seats sold. That added to the fact fires are burning across the state of California some people have more important this on their minds. Racing also isn’t as popular on the west coast.

I've been to Pomona twice (some years ago) and the seats that are panned mostly are on the pro pit side. In fact all the racers are on that side. The right side are just shorter stands with a roadway almost directly behind them.

Guys Friday is normally a pretty good turn out. The north west side of LA has a real bad fire that has everyones attention and the 101 freeway was shut down (google it).

My Wife and I normally go Friday but we skipped this year.

Hey Doc I didn’t hear a word out of you today about track attendance. In case you didn’t notice the place was packed.

Comparing a Friday Q to Sunday final is silly at any track in the nation.

I was there with the wife and a good friend from Edwards Air Force base and I will say that Pomona is awesome and I look forward to going again.
I was there Saturday & Sunday and went back Monday to see the NHRA museum only to find out,,,,,,it's NOT open on monday realcrazy
