Are you kidding me? 

Examples of unacceptable language would include: "spectators welcome", 
"spectators free"

To me, those are important aspects, because the spectators are the ones 
that become drivers.  I didn't race my first time I went.  I didn't know 
anyone there, and knew nothing about the whole process.  I wanted to go 
and see.  It's important that people know that it costs nothing to come 
and see what is going on.  Why should advertising not promote that?
