Vroom with a view! Fans rent CRANES to watch speedway race after social distancing rules meant they could not get into the ground in Poland

Per Google Translate:

What crazy thing did you do to see your team? In Poland, the national team championship of these bikes causes madness. As stadiums cannot occupy more than 25% of their capacity, fans of the Mecz Motor Lublin rented 18 cranes to see their racers.


I wonder if any NASCAR fans have done this yet. I have not heard of this occurring but it would not surprise me.

Every NASCAR speedway on the circuit is surrounded by at least 100 yards of property owned by the speedway.....I can't imagine a scenario where the speedway would allow that.

The speedways used to allow fans to construct all kinds of crazy scaffolding in the infield "back in the day". Now you can sit on top of your vehicle/motorhome but aren't allowed to construct anything on top that is higher than a handrail.

This is in the infield at Indy around 1960.
Notice the scaffolding in the background!!

Yes, I thought that was probably the case. The one exception might be Phoenix. I assume the speedway does not own Rattlesnake Hill.
