What would bring YOU to watch a race meeting?

[FROSTY:Me]

Folks The nationals are attracting smaller and smaller crowds.
15000 of you lot come along to Battle of the streets and similar numbers to Whanganui
So what attracts you there??
What can be done to attract you to a track meeting?
I really would like feedback from non racers please.

FEEDBACK SO FAR IS FANTASTIC--THANKYOU ALL THOSE THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED

1)plentyof clean loos
2)plenty of shade.
3)exclusive seating areas at a premeum price.
4)viewing areas to watch the inpit action up close (viewingthe tight leathers)
5)big screens for the action you missed
6)quality food not just chips and hotdogs
7)other forms of entertainment-possibly a rally
8)entertainment for kids -thinking over EVERY north island track I can picture an area sutable for that
9)bigger range of bike types -not clones
10)local community involvement-
11) good comentary
12)Lots of trade stalls

something else to look at while there, aka stands by suppliers of parts.

[James Deuce]

Not having to travel for 2 hours minimum.

Free entry to the track would help.

Combine it with a bike rally - usual stuff - beer tent, band, overnight accomodation (tents OK) - make it worth the trip. Local classic club might want to put on a show - maybe a track day the day before?

Trade stalls, win a prize.... etc

[yungatart]

Not having to fork over huge dollars to watch.
Availability of food other than greasy chips and hot dogs.

Everybody taht's said "free entry", your votes are worthless sorry. VMCC didn't charge a single spectator fee all winter. Doesn't work.

Good idea. I'm sure the station across the road would be approachable about using one of the paddocks that was used for parking during the A1GP.

Sorry Frosty,

I dont think there is anything that would attract me as a spectator.

I'd rather use the time to go riding

Im hearing ya dude-BUT pearoa gets 14000 and they almost all travel 2-8 hours to be there -no matter where it is some folk are gonna hafta travel
good food --yep
trade stalls--yep
rally --hmmm -lotsa boooze n stuff -could work as there is a camping area next to the old taupo pits that coulkd be set up
Girls-kinda goes with the trade stalls I think
Free entry--kinda defeats the point -but I wanna keep entry costs to around $10 each
