So aside from fussing... how do we as a community best help the sport we all love! Couple thoughts:

Work with promoters with community programs... to help the community around them and get eyes on Racing... for instance... work with a food pantry, collect food and have a driver day where teams bring in their cars and haulers and give the food away while allowing the community to interact with the teams

Work with local schools... give away passes to students... maybe one student and parent pass... get them interested... and usually that free pass will buy you a hotdog... and a free pass checked in is a write off for the track as advertising... so not only does the 2 foot piece of bleacher cost them nothing, the loss in advertising is a gain

Downtown so Tri city... on a Sunday afternoon before races, have a park and show of haulers and cars downtown Franklin... loop in some local bars and eateries (assuming theyre open) and have a pre race party downtown with haulers open, cars on street, teams and drivers in uniform and get people interacting with... maybe again allow each team to hand out some free passes for that evening (a good way to measure success of event... how many are cashed in) and if a driver participates, maybe work out a meal at the local restaurant and driver gets in free that evening...

Just a couple ideas... I know things are things here in western pa... Ive been here almost my entire life... but folks... time to hike up the big boy pants and own what we can about our local racing community!                     I recall when Stateline Speedway used to have a racecar show on Main Street in down town Sugar Grove just south of the track. All of the parking spaces would be full of every class of car that ran at Stateline and Eriez speedways. Drivers that lived right in town like Craig Briggs, Chub Frank, etc would drive their cars there and there would be a parade of Late models, Limited late models, Sportsman, Cadet, and Spectator Stock cars driving through Main Street. It was AWESOME ! !
