I am lucky enough to live in PA where tracks are different than most of the rest of the dirt tracks around the country. So this isn't as much as an improvement for me but I think could be for others.
Experiencing the races from the infield.
Yes, you do miss a little bit of the action because you can't see the entire track, but you still see majority of it. And I don't care about the parts I can't see because you can always watch the replay of whatever you missed almost instantly on your phone thanks to modern streaming services at many tracks. The trade off of what you do see is worth it.
More pros:
- You're so much closer to the action that you see, hear, and feel so much more than you could in the stands. Being eye level or below the cars on the track rather than above them is just so much more of an intense and interesting way to experience the races.
- Don't have to pack in the stands and worry about moving around/tripping over other people if you need to leave to the bathroom or something.
- Most lawn chairs are more comfortable than a wooden or metal grandstand seat. Same priced ticket you pay for a 3ft space in the stands gets you youre living room recliner in the infield.
- Dust blows more to the outside of the track, which you end up with a clearer view than you may even get in the stands or watching on stream. (Why more streams don't have more inside cameras set up is beyond me. I get cameras add production and equipment costs but c'mon man)
