There's nothing wrong with wanting a track to be presentable to the public. It is a nationals and in this country the current highest form of racing. While I like that the track is set up in an area other than 20 miles from town, it's time to start having somebody (not necessarily the track) actually put the race in a high traffic area to attract some attention.
Racing is fine and dandy an dmost racers are happy to race anywhere, so wh not let them race where it can show off the sport and get more people into it?
This isn't a knock at the local track. It sounds like they are putting on a great effort. And they deserve credit for that!
