Most people can't afford to go 2 days in a row! We want a one day event!!

Afterward, or at least after day 1 but I'm not sure, they said the equivalent of 'oops, we didn't realize the market was gonna screw up and the economy'd be in the tanker...that whole 2 day ticket thing was a stinker it turns out.' I'd say expect some changes for next year. They aren't under the illusion it was the best they could do and I think they feel sheepish about what seemed like a good idea at the time... to someone at least.

the post parade camera would show the stands in the background. it looked like ALOT of empty seats for both days. the last couple races on saturday, the rail, apron and paddock areas looked very crowded.
