I remember watching SX at the silverdome and that place was always packed!! Today SX attendance is weak! Sometimes the TV coverage dosen't show the upper seats because they are empty! Go back and watch some of the earlier races and check out the attendance compared to now but the silverdome Always seemed to be sold out!

$10 general admission!!!! That packed the place but the demographic of people was always interesting. Same at Monster Jam

And to the guy who said it was easier to get in and out of is nuts...it would take 3hrs to get out of that parking lot if you didn't leave early. The tailgate parties were epic though, and the had amateur racing the day after.

Well, I'm from Pittsburgh & I was 12 at the time. We drove through Detroit to get to Pontiac. After the 4.5 hour drive to Detriot, the extra 30 min to Pontiac wasn't much of a difference. Maybe I should just broaden it to Michigan. Your whole state sucks. That better? Laughing

Michigan does suck. That's why they are all moving to the Carolina. I'm surprised there is anyone left in the those states with the amount of snowbirds down here now.
Those of us that live here and love everything the state has to offer are perfectly happy that you clowns have no idea what you are talking about and are glad that you don't want to live here Wink

I just wish more of your former Michigan natives thought the same thing. All these housing developments being thrown up here is taking away riding areas.

Man.... I started a shit storm. Sorry. I didn't take it personal when you told about your experience here years ago. I've had good/bad moments in just about every place I've been. It happens.

Ok, just for shits and giggles, I went to maps on my phone and pulled up the Silverstone. Can anyone from the area tell me what was going on from this screenshot. Seems like an awful lot of cars in the lot.

They are all the diesel Volkswagens with that failed emission thing. They are stored in several places around the country.
