Credit cards at the gate for entry....what is the problem ??

[Ed Wright]

The only track I had problems using a card at the gate was an IHRA race at State Capitol, at Baton Rouge. I use mine all the time with no problems. Used it there, just had to ride to the main spectator gate with an official to process it. Said they had no phone line to the entrant's booth. Told them they just need a wireless card for a laptop. Since I've seen a cel phone with a card swiping fixture on the end. Makes no sense to not take cards at the pit gate. Many of us prefer to not carry that much cash. I could not run my business if we did not take cards. Today that is just part of doing business.
