[QUOTE="SID297, post: 12043028, member: 8858"] I've thought quite a bit about how to improve the burnout contest, and others have made the same suggestion you're making. There's a couple problems with holding it in the infield though. First, it would be much harder for the people in the stands to see it. Since the contest relies on crowd participation to select a winner everyone needs a good view. Second, it would make media coverage more challenging. Since the sponsors of the event need exposure to make their contributions worthwhile we want to give them the best coverage possible. Third, it's safer to have the cars on the track, because people would be standing right next to a fairly low wall around the infield. Finally, it takes a lot more skill to control your car well, put on a good show, and keep it out of the wall on the front stretch than it would performing in an open lot. This makes for a better show, and really separates those who can control a car from those just spinning their tires. [/QUOTE]
