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.

NHRA is hoping for about 100,000 more fans like you! Don't pay the ridiculous prices! Jim

I know I should boycott it. But as I sit here, getting ready to head out there. I know that if I do not go. I will be bummed out for the next year. Like I said. This race is the only big race event I go to all year. Not the Nationals, nor even the two NASCAR races we have. I have to go.

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.


http://autorama.com/shows/attend/chicago-2012#


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!

Sounds like I would be buying my pit help spectator passes instead. Why the hell can a spectator get in for $30 while a crew member has to pay $60? That is ridiculous ....

Phillip, it is 30.00 per day per person, two day race for a crew guy 60.00!! No difference just a crew guy will be there for two days? This kicker is it is two, two day races so that's 4 days at 30.00 or 120.00 a guy for a crew member. Kinda steep.
