The one sad thing. I use to take my daughter with me and stopped a few years ago. Because, she got older and the racing bug never really bit her. But this morning she asked me if she could go. "Like old times", she said. Now I know that apart of it was that I think she wanted to get out of school today and play hooky with old dad. But I would have done it in a heart beat. The only thing that stopped me. The prices at the gate. Now that SUCKS! Thanks NHRA!!!!
Well I am OFF. Be there in a half hour.  |
If it makes you feel any better,there is a World of Wheels Car Show in the Chicago area next week.

Parking is outrageous,and they want $18 general admission to look at some cars.
$30 for a day of Sportsman racing is a steal compared to $18 for a few hours of looking at some cars in a show.
Enjoy your day at the races and at least you don't have to shovel snow!
