Mannymen: What's the cost of tickets to an ADRL race?... I don't know .... I was just wondering? ... You seem to want to compare ADRL attendence to NHRA races. So let's compare apples to apples. And to do that, in this economy, you have to compare ticket costs, wouldn't you say?

Jim, the tickets are fairly cheap and can be free, but the point is Gen Y doesn't want to see the 11-12 second bracket cars and .90 throttle stop classes, which are a majority of the NHRA show. Let alone they don't want to pay the $40 plus ticket prices. They want cheap/free entries to the races and want to see big Nitrous explosions and meltdowns. They can relate to buying nitrous for their imports and can relate to crashcar Nascar. There may be hope as I drug my nephew down to MPR to look at the Challengers being built by Mike in which he was very interested in. Hey man I don't want this to go away either, but the writing is on the wall. Pro Mods, TD and TS are probably more poplular than the Comp, .90, SS and Stock classes for Gen Y and can easily become fillers.

I don't mean to high jack this post ...and what you're saying is fine, However, What do you think the attendance at Indy would be if NHRA gave out FREE tickets? How many people would be turned away? I just try to keep everything in perspective. JB
