I wouldn't expect to see anyone but people who are addicted to and 
really enjoy their car hobby to be showing up. 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.....
