Divisional Entry $?
Did I just read that divisional entry just went up to $180?

Jim, The tracks within each division get together and decide the rate for the year, so it can vary.
Looks like Boise (6) , $180 Indy (3) $165 |
Re: Divisional Entry $?
Well here's question number 2, at some tracks crew members get charged more for a 3 day pass than spectators. So can your crew people just get out of the truck, pay the spectator fee and then get back in the truck on the other side of the ticket gate? Sort of being sarcastic but it does feel like we're being burned...

$180? Highest entry of the 7 divisions. I'm sure they'll apply the increase to the purse...

Depends on the track layout, but specs are supposedly not allowed in staging lanes or to the line. |

When they start getting 650+ racecars up there, maybe the purse will go up .LOL |
Re: Divisional Entry $?

The other option would be to stay home or bracket race.

Re: Divisional Entry $?
Or support an independent race such as MCR or Heartland. Hint hint.
Our entry fee is $100 and we pay twice as much as a divisional. |
Re: Divisional Entry $?
Most Divisionals require crew members to have a wrist band to be in the lanes and up at the starting line. Don't think you can have a spectator get a band.

Re: Divisional Entry $?
When you sign for the restricted area wrist band, how do they know whether you paid as a spectator or a crew person?
I think everyone is missing my point, why does a crew person get charged more than a spectator in the first place? I know the answer, because they can. |
Re: Divisional Entry $?
In D3 you get a different ticket if you are a crew. Usually a different color, like spectators are red and crew is green, or the crew pass has "crew" stamped on it. You take that crew pass to registration and that's where you get the arm band.

I believe spectators have different colored wrist bands than crew so you can sign the waiver "upgrade" to a restricted area band. I've attended NHRA Divisional races where crew cannot get a restricted area wrist band without a minimum 2 day ticket, if they come for Saturday only a one day pass has them sitting in the stands. At Joliet the 3 day crew pass was $50 and I think the 2 day crew pass was $40. Spectator admission was $20 per day, and they may have had a combination discounted pass as well. |
Re: Divisional Entry $?
At the upconing race at Firebird (Boise) crew fee is $60.00 and spectator fee is a total of $70, if they go all days.The fees are what they are. If you look in the stands for a Divisional race you won't see many people. I would say most of the people in the stands, especially at Seattle, are friends of the racers or a few interested people.
If they want more spectators at a Divisional race the tracks need to advertise the race. Just my 2 cents. Sorry I got off subject a bit. Just my opinion, but fees for the Divisional races should all be the same, no matter which division they are in. |

They don't call division 6 "Land of the Leaders" for nothing.
