We get spectators on the Southside but it's usually sotuhside church people checking us all out after church on Sundays. Lots of kids with elders and pastors and the like......Our NW side outdoor venue in the Summer is a different crowd. We get lots of spectators there who camp out to watch the races many make a day of it with lawn chairs and tables.....
