Title: race attendance
Post by: rick on January 21, 2003, 10:14:15 AM
I would like to find out some info on what the average attendance of racers
and spectators is on average for each track (for courting sponsorship).

Thanks!

I have some excellent statistics for the AMA series if that will help. Email me offline and I'll get them to you.

For anyone to provide the numbers you are looking for, you will need to let us know what tracks you will be at.

Good point! Technically, I'm most interested in Buttonwillow, Firebird, Las Vegas Classic, Streets of Willow & Thunderhill  :)

Do you want exact numbers or do you want us to shoot from the hip?  You can find out how many riders were there by counting how many names are on the results page.  It would be fairly safe to multiply this number by 2 or 3 to determine the approximate number of spectators since each racer brings a couple with them typically.

Why didn't I think of that!?!

However, the mutliply by two for spectators is probably inaccurate 'cause, at least with the AFM, it varies dramatically from track to track. Say, at Sears Point it's more of a factor of 4 to 5 and at the "away" tracks it's closer to two.

...Still, that's good enough for me!

Thank you everyone!

Shoot me an email and I will send you the demographics I have obtained thus far, which includes AMA and CCS '01 and '02.

Give me a few days to respond.
