About a month ago, August 14 to be exact, my grandson, granddaughter and her father were at Topeka for my birthday. We sat in the Blaine Johnson grandstand which are excellent seats for the starting line, lousy to actually view the races. It was ungodly hot, something like 98º, and the stands were sparsely occupied as well as the pits.
None of the four Pro classes were full and other than the fact that my granddaughter had a good time, it was a waste of time and money.
Topeka, IMHO, is one of the better tracks I've been to and it's a shame the crowd was so sparse. It's an easy track to get to and well maintained, unlike the past, and the parking and camping is spacious though I wasn't fond of the handicap parking as there is none by the tower and there should be. They do run tram service and that is an improvement, but the handy parking, IMHO, should be inside somewhere near the competitor parking but not close enough to be a nuisance.
