at least he has his thoughts straight, if not his facts...

If i get in for free, I would love to know where my 35-40 dollars every Saturday night goes... I will be glad to meet you at the pit gate and have you watch me hand over my cash lol

I wonder what late models show up at Lernerville for their regular show Friday. They might get Gary Lyle, Ken Schaltenbrand, Matt Lux and Tony Burke by themselves battling it out for Budwieser championship night.

Charlotte is a 5 star facility,  Track is usually in excellent shape.  You get to see all three top tier classes all three nights. Bought my tix in march for $79 for all three nights, reserved seats,  including pit passes for the world finals.  I can't believe they will pull this off.  Oh and $90 for camping all three days with hookups.  I wish them good luck

$ 50.00 for camping ... Count me out for sure.  I know me not being there will not be a factor in the closing

of the dump, but if it does so be it and I could care less.  Just too many other places for my hard earned  

dollar these days...

[dirtguy200948]

PPMS is the only place that charges you for camping period. Other tracks I can see if they have reserved for a price and I have no problem with that.

Camping is $50 for the event purchased in advance, $75 at the event. Spots are first come, first serve around the perimeter of the grandstand parking lot

Let's see. Having the crate and sportsman guy's show up for 2 nights instead of one. EQUALS. $$$ Camping fee's EQUALS. $$$ So tell me, Just how many people are surprised ? Here is a question I have. How many people from out of town are coming in for this Spectacle ? I can't wait to hear about the bleachers, the lighting and various other issues. It's about the racing, these lucas guys can get it on, I hope It's a good race is all. Knowing what is there will keep me away. The Outlaw guys will be back at lernerville for the firecracker. They'll get my money.

 I agree about forcing the crate and sportsmen to buy a 2 day pit pass, friday you come run a heat which takes tops 5 mins then are done until the next day. This is a trick that Lentz used to use to force people to have to come both days. It would be different if the purses were raised for the crates and sportsmen it would be different but its regular purse. So a sportsmen driver would have to pay 75 for a 2 day pit pass to win 400 or 300 whatever it is. I don't think there will be a ton of cars. The WoO is off but the only driver I would expect to see is Richards. They have about 12 regulars and Lucas has maybe 10 cars who follow the whole tour. I say about 32-35 for the Pittsburgher.

i was thinking maybe Eckert,tmac,chub and maybe boom would come.

[BRYAN]

Boom will be in a wedding he told me last night.

[Racer17L]

I thought the $50 fee was a township ordnance along with no tent rule? Could be wrong but that's what I heard.

I know Matt is working on a few things for Sportsman and Rush cars so I don't think either will be base purse. We were talking about the Sportsman event last Saturday so I think he should make the official announcements soon.

[The Legend]

So your telling me that the township also has an extra 25 dollar penalty for failing to pay your camping ahead of time ??? And what does the township provide for this " fee "

[Sparkler]

Racer17l are you serious? The Pittsburgher is 9 days away and "They are still working" on events purses for other classes? And you wonder why no cars show up when a purse isnt even announced until days before a major race.

 

And Racer17l why was it when "The brains behind RapeFest "Jack Lentz forced the drivers to buy 2 day pit passes you bitched up a storm and ran the guy into the ground? But when your buddy does it you see no issue with it for them to buy a $75 pit pass to run a few laps on a Friday night and put it back on the trailer and held hostage at PPMS for 2 days, when they could be going to other tracks to win good money?

[Vigoda Motorsports]

Jack also never charged to camp.

[Racer17L]

Sparkler- you also don't know what Matt and I talked about.... I did push and explain he'd get more cars with a one day show Friday night but for various reasons he couldn't do it. Not my track or my call. Even if he did a one day show on Saturday it would be the same price so it really doesn't help any support divisions. I hear you and it is the same gripe I had about Fallfest, Stampede, old Pittsburghers etc.

Again don't hold me to the cost to camp. I read it here the last handful of Pittsburghers. Of course there is the opportunity to pile on to the cost so who knows.

Bored so I googled it... For 2013 NDRL it was $40 and it went towards the North Fayette overnight camping ordinance, amusement tax, 24/7 security requirement, trash removal and other bs. Could it have gone up in 2 years? Probably but I'm not in business in NF so I don't know.

[BUTTBEAK]

Taxes are a % of monies taken in, not a flat fee.

 

Clean up after a large event is required, regardless if patrons camp or not.

Security for the weekend is a requirement, regardless if campers are there or not.

If Findlay ordinances requires a fee be charged, show me.

This is a nothing more than a greedy cash grab, atop of the inflated ticket prices.

 

Enjoy eating the bullsheet your being fed by the fat cat!

[racer67x]

the thing with past years is,we all paid it and the party went on but it had a different feel..third week of September,a chill was in the air and the track closed for the winter after the weekend. this year they want to break us then run another month?

[Racer17L]

So I'll say it again one last time for you guys: I'm simply reading what this very board said in 2013. I don't live in NF, I'm not a Miley and I don't camp out anymore. So therefore I have no idea what the true reason is nor do I care as I live 30 minutes away.
