Judging by the lame attendance.

Damn, I love having a race close to home.

I think everyone in Florida was at Daytona. After watching a race on that big, beautiful track in the infield, it must be a letdown to go to a race on a football field with 44 second lap times.

Pontiac, Syracuse, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Nashville & more would all like to have a race.
Or we could have a few more at Anahiem!

Well, you can't blame it on Live Coverage.
My Saturday night is possibly going to suck.

How is Atlanta always packed, but Jax is empty? They are only a few hours apart. Always seemed weird to me.

Every time they have a race at Atlanta, a fight breaks out before the day is done. Maybe that's why.

Many people may have already been to Atlanta and/or Daytona and by the time Jax rolls around the gas/hotel/food money is gone. Florida probably has less total spectators to fill 3 races over 4 weeks like So Cal does.

It's pretty light.
But they had monster trucks last week, so if tonight can cover the expenses of that, then it was all profit.

fuck anaheim. A1 is good enough. dodger stadium was fun. bring back the coliseum if anything. but no more anaheims, give the midwest or northeast more rounds if anything is to be subtituted for jax.

Pontiac is still there. It should have never left in the first place. Feld is dumb. That place is hallowed SX ground.

While we're fucking stadiums, fuck dodgertown and the coliseum for their shitty ingress/egress. At least the Big A is a modern stadium with decent crowd-handling walkways. Getting around the Big Blue was a nightmare at times, and those tunnel in the Coliseum suck.

Ya gotta think about these things, Mod Killer! Wink

you are completely right.

i just really miss the track going up into the stands and back down, thus my affection for LA colisieum.

The 30 second board was up for the 450 class when I snapped these with my phone. Saying the crows was sparse would be an over-statement. No seats in the top bowl were occupied.

Crikey!! That is poor attendance. On the upside I guess autograph lines would have been short...

Wow, that is pathetic. Say what you want about Anaheim but it is always packed. I would love to see Pontiac or Detroit to get a round again in place of Jacksonville.

Wudda you think, that JS's fans are all gonna migrate to Jax because its his home race and fill the stadium to capacity of 75000? What a moronic statement.
Ps. no im not a JS fan.

the nfl's jaguars cant even sell out that stadium. why feld thinks the sx/mx crowd can sell out the stadium is beyond me. but it does say volumes about the type of idiots they are.
