Crowd Filtering? What on earth is that?

At one side, we are talking about taking motorsports to the masses and on the other side, we are talking about elitist terms like crowd filtering. I understand the problems caused by people lurking around trying to take a peek. But who knows, a few years down the line, the same 'lurkers' might be driving the fastest drag machine, after getting inspired by watching the drags.

When a team-BHPian was denied to take home a Porsche brochure, we all went berserk against Porsche. Aren't we doing the same here?

When you charge tickets at exhorbitant rates, what more can you expect from the crowd who can't afford tickets? Instead make MORE tickets available at affordable prices and provide better seating and security arrangements. This will solve the problem, hopefully.
