Anybody ever thought about what it costs to go watch in Houston?

Gas from Baton Rouge to Houston = about $200-$230 of fuel

3 day of pit side seating - $138

crew pass - $85

3 nights of a best western hotel - $100/night

plus food
which everybody knows at a nat for a burger and coke is $8+

i respect those of you, who aren't complaining, and going racing. Yes times are tough. It's tough right now for a local bracket racer to go race within 50 miles of home. I understand, that not everybody is financally stable to go to every divisional or national meet, but all this bashing on the NHRA, and the "Good job NHRA posts" are really to much...especially if you're financially stable and posting those, (not saying that anybody is).
