On the one hand, it's cool to see the atmosphere of a full crowd that is all into the sport. On the other hand, traffic, especially leaving a track, is terrible and it was great being able to get in and out quickly.

Edit: Apparently some people are missing the part saying MIXED feelings. Yes, being part of a large crowd at an event can add to the excitement. Yes, seeing large crowds at the track is a good sign for the sport, and can draw attention to it. No, I don't have to enjoy the person going through a pack of cigarettes with the smoke being blown into my face. No, I don't have to enjoy being crammed elbow to elbow in a seat. No, I don't have to enjoy trying to leave Bristol traffic at 11 PM at night after an already long day. There is good and bad to both sides. There is nothing wrong with that. Not to mention if you look at the NBA playoffs there have been multiple issues with fans causing issues more then ever before.
