Flash, save your breath. These are the same people who don't say a word when it's $40 for the stands the Saturday of the Firecracker. It's amazing how subjective pricing can be.

Thousands of people didnt having a problem paying $40 for the stands at the firecracker to see the TOP drivers in the COUNTRY, with a $30,000 to win main event, plus a $3,000 to win 30 lap event, plus all the heats, and b mains. Yea id say $40 was fair. If you went all 3 night, it was $69, plus 2 free pit passes!!!

 

I guess you neve rheard of buying in quanity will get things cheaper. if you can only attend one day, well thats your own stupid decision for coming and not checking prices.

Sparkler my point is people will bitch just to bitch. If its $25 for the stands for the Sprint show people will go nuts even if Lernerville or Mercer charged the exact same price. If you went to the Saturday Pittsburgher last year you saw $25k SLM, $3k Rush lates and $3k emods for $35. So no, I don't think $40 was a bargain. But I paid it anyway.

The measuring stick for the dirt racing industry is Eldora . 100 got me a 3 day pit
Pass AND car entry and there was racing that paid money all 3 days. A 3 day pit pass this weekend is $115.00 plus a hundred to enter the car .... 215 for 2 nights of
Racing paying out WAY Way Way under 100k compared to 100 to
Enter for racing paying out 300k..... I'm not drawing any conclusions I'll leave that up to you guys lol

George--- You are obviously joking right?? The team has travelled to Michigan for $5000 to win shows. I really don't believe money is the problem. However, the sponsorship obligations, I can believe.

 

How do I reply to a message on this stupid site?? Thanks in advance

Is it a secret?  I've gone there too many times and been pissed off at the gate before I go in..  A little heads up would be nice.

Completely agree. That's why PPMS is a joke. Mileys rape everyone at the gate, mainly the pits.
