you are right that its a side event to the race, but in theory what it does is encourage others to come who wouldnt normally come, or encourages those that were 50-50 about attending to make the effort.
Its similar to the sydney 500 having bands in the evening

From the Timaru Herald - "Having the council's backing would make it so much easier to argue for the race remaining in Timaru, he said, adding he had effectively been given an ultimatum from MotorSport New Zealand, that it needed to see a sign of real support from the council."
Or else what would happen?
I went to the first round at Puke and the whole show looked very tired. I've never seen the hill look so empty at a Tier One round either. There's something going on at Ruapuna between MSNZ and the car club, and now "some pressure" on Timaru.
I think "not all is well in Dingley-Dell".
