Am I mistaken or is this correct?

SAT - $5,000 to win $25.00 Admission
SUN - $5,000 to win $25.00 Admission

Total $10,000 to win $50.00 Admission

Now if I am seeing things right would not that be like a $10,000 to win show
that would cost the spectators 50 Bucks to get in?

This is probably going to keep some people away I would think.

I'm betting if they were a week apart for the same price, you wouldn't even question it.

 As usual Ring Gear, you are mistaken.  The Pittsburgher weekend is not the equivalent of paying $50 for a 100 lap race.  It's two separate races, two totally separate programs, sorry if you can't see the logical difference.  $25 per race night may not be cheap, but certainly not exhorbitant, since there are also Pro Late Model and Sportsman  specials paying more than the weekly payout.  And I believe a two day grandstand pass is available for $45.   Too much for you, stay home.

I think the price sounds pretty far, should be some good racing in each class

[Ring Gear]

Thank you for clearing that up. Just a simple question needing a
simple answer.

Roaring Knob is racing Saturday with a make up feature for Super Lates. That will
probably take the Dalton boys out of the picture and a few W.Va. drivers maybe.

Dog Hollow will be running, but I don't see any of their regulars showing up.

I don't know who else is racing in the the Tri State area.

Satterlee will be there and if Mason Zeigler shows up my money will be on him to take
home the loot.

[flash49]

Well, Mason Zeigler certainly gets around Pittsburgh very well, but nobody has mentioned John Mollick as a threat to win.  He gets a little wild and has a tendency to brush the wall on occasion, but has been as fast as anyone at Pittsburgh week in and week out this summer

[starboyshady]

I forgot to mention him in my post , but Mollick can definitely get it done ..... No doubt

[NickD]

As of Saturday night at Eldora, Mason and crew said they are taking the weekend off and will not be at Pittsburgh this weekend.

ever since they ran the 50 lap race the complaints led to the return of the dreaded sheepsfoot..Mollick learned last week there is no being a hero anymore,it took 2 tow trucks to pull him off the wall.
the lap times are down and the big motor cars have hardly a chance,Alex and Barbara went nowhere fast this past saturday.
personally I hate the damn thing but you guys wanted it..careful what you wish for.

Danny like it or not those are the conditions real races happen under . Eldora is slicker than owl shit and Bloomquist showed you can still pass if you can wheel in the slick . The only people who don't like slick tracks are the stomp and steer Heros who can't drive on them.
