Viewing the crowd size at New Smyrna from the first/second turn camera is a bit deceiving. From that vantage point, the grandstand looks much smaller than it actually is. I was there 5 years ago on two nights to see the Florida sprints and tour mods in the Evans Memorial. I know I was asshole to elbow on both nights, and to me, the stands looked just as full for the major events this week. The stands for the NASCAR modified race last Saturday were packed, as it was for the Blewett Memorial Wednesday.
