Because they do not generate enough pressure to cause a problem in such a large building.
The heat of the exhaustgasses can be a problem at times but there are sliding doors on the side of the track that are opened between runs.

I imagine the burning nitro would kill your eyes at an indoor event like this.

When it's being towed... that sound. Is that just the gears banging on each other?

Could be a lot of things. I honestly don't know.

But it sounds mechanical and 'unhealthy'.
