Jim,
I believe spectators have different colored wrist bands than crew so you can sign the waiver "upgrade" to a restricted area band. I've attended NHRA Divisional races where crew cannot get a restricted area wrist band without a minimum 2 day ticket, if they come for Saturday only a one day pass has them sitting in the stands.
At Joliet the 3 day crew pass was $50 and I think the 2 day crew pass was $40.
Spectator admission was $20 per day, and they may have had a combination discounted pass as well.

At the upconing race at Firebird (Boise) crew fee is $60.00 and spectator fee is a total of $70, if they go all days.The fees are what they are. If you look in the stands for a Divisional race you won't see many people. I would say most of the people in the stands, especially at Seattle, are friends of the racers or a few interested people.

If they want more spectators at a Divisional race the tracks need to advertise the race. Just my 2 cents. Sorry I got off subject a bit.

Just my opinion, but fees for the Divisional races should all be the same, no matter which division they are in.

They don't call division 6 "Land of the Leaders" for nothing.
