[NOT A TA]

There were over 200 spectators there and for them it was perfect. They got to walk right up to all of the cars in staging like it was a car show (and it could have been). Since it was so poorly organized the spectators had about 3 hours of "car show" to chat with the drivers, crews and owners who had no where else to go.

After that they got to go right up to the start line and watch everyone make their first pass for a couple hours. By then temps were over 100 degrees and everyone started to fade away.

It was a very different kind of race experience with almost all of the cars being almost silent at idle. My car was one of the only cars that even had a rumble to it. No open headers or any of the other sounds you usually hear at a race. Also almost every single car was a show quality car appearance wise. There were no clapped out race only type cars there. The pits and staging truely looked like a car show.
