This is the race I wait for all year. I alwaysed loved that I got two weekends in a row of drag racing. I stopped going to the National race years ago because the prices were getting over the top. I was only going for the sportsman racing anyways. I have not cared about the pros in about 20 years. Now the Sportsman race is getting up there. So the days of the two weekend for me are gone. But I did not realize that it was $30.00 now. WOW!!! PLUS the parking. I bet it is $10. I better get more money from the bank tomorrow.
I have always made it a point to go to the Sportsman race on Friday because it was the cheaper day and I like the low crowds. But now they are making it not only that much but the same amount no matter what day. Good thing I have a job that gives me paid day offs. So I can keep on going on Fridays. This will be the first time that i am getting paid to be out there. So it offsets the higher cost for me. At least I am not loosing a day of work like I use to.
I cannot see me stopping from going to this race no matter how high the price is. But I sure think it is a bad move to do that. Not to many people will pay that to go to a sportsman race like I will.
I wait all year for this event. Cannot wait till tomorrow.
