Top Ten Things California Speedway Could Do To Fill the Stands

Jeff Meyer · Tuesday August 28, 2007

 

10. Remove about 20,000 seats.

9. Offer the O. J. Simpson Driving Experience, complete with a free pair of driving gloves. (They fail to fit, by the way…)

8. Plant lettuce and other forms of produce in the infield, and tape an application for harvesters on every seat.

7. Replace all ISC-owned concessions and Wolfgang Puck's restaurant with In & Out Burger stands.

6. Make all tickets available to only Darlington-area fans, with the promise that Brian France will personally greet each fan as they enter the Speedway.

5. Move the race back to Darlington, but rename it “California Speedway” for the weekend.

4. Offer a free Race Day Experience to all “washed up,” “overrated,” “self-inflated” and “childhood” stars, actors, and entertainers.

3. Require all ticket purchases to be by National Rifle Association members, and feature Rosie O'Donnell as the pre-race entertainment.

2. Schedule a NFL preseason game to be played in the infield during the Cup race.

1. Schedule Hillary Clinton as entertainment, and sell tickets only to Republicans. Remember, all festivities to coincide with the harvest of the infield tomato crop!

Road racing, drag racing, and off-road racing have always been popular in SoCal, but oval track racing just isn’t.

Dirtrakr and Rick…
I had that covered in #8. The original version I submitted also said..“English speakers need NOT apply”

Apparently, my editors, in a sudden attack of politcal correctness, felt that last part would offend someone and cut it out.
Which when you think about it is really silly…those that it might offend wouldnn’t be able to read it anyway!
Editors!….Sheeeeesh!

Another great top 10 list….only problem with no.2 is no body would show up for that either, thats why LA doesn’t have a football team now, maybe NASCAR should take that hint and come back east…..

Turn off all the lights and make them race in the dark. We might see something exciting then! Man, I miss Darlington!
