Yes I do think the crowd would be there. They were 5 or so years ago before Darin showed up, and they will be there after he is gone. I remember watching people years ago betting in the stands on 2 random cars going down the track. Do I think the head count would be lower if no grudge racing was happening, yes, but do I think the track would close or be in financial jeopardy if Darin left, no. The track would be fine. I am one of the few that has raced at Dorchester since day one, and I have seen many money making races, and grudge racing is another class or trend to me. Like promods, and quick 8 cars. They all bring a crowd, but if they didn't come one weekend, the racing would still happen. Just my 2cents, based on facts.
