Im not sure what I would blame. This yr was my first trip to Route 66 Raceway. I normally attend at Gateway in STL since we live here but with the track being closed it was a toss up as to which event to attend.
Strange thing I noticed this year during eliminations. People where leaving after their "favorite" driver got knocked out. It was hot, Im talking 90-92 on sunday. So the heat might have had something to do with it but we sat next to a lady who was in her 80's and she was living it up...
EVERYONE leaves during PS. No respect for those guys from the fans or most of us.

I was expecting sold out crowds since Gateway was closed and Joilet is only 4.5 hrs away.....I was way wrong. We only sat in our reserved seats on Sunday, only for 1st round. Then you could sit almost anywhere you wanted.
