I don't think $75 is bad for a two day race let alone this race. I think I just paid $70 for a two day pass that didn't have LOLMS or WOO as the sanction.
Should be a good time and great racing.

Savino charged $75 for 2 nights at the Pooch and didn't have half the purse of a Lucas race. How come everyone bitches about Miley and not about him with his prices?

for a individual the 75.00 in my view is worth it. Again, for the guy that pays for his team to get thru the gate that is a big hit. Owner, driver, crew chief, and 1 grunt. Add it up, and yes there going to run against the Lucas guys. How many are going to say are chances to make the A are going to be a long shot. I'd love to see 50 cars. Guess time will tell...
I never understood this... if a local driver or even regional driver is coming to race, and their funds are limited, WHY DO THEY PAY FOR EVERYONE TO GET IN?!? This is a hobby, not a job, there is no reason people should be PAID to go do their favorite hobby. I've been around different race teams from local to regional to world of outlaws teams helping out and I PAID for every pit pass. I don't expect to be reimbursed for something I chose to do and have fun at. In my opinion that's the owners fault if they pay for everyone and heir mother to get in.

It's part of showing appreciation to someone for spending their free time basically working a 2nd job helping you have fun. At least that's how my family has always seen it. Now if you pay for 10 guys that's a different story, that's just silly. And another thing is we've never had a guy expect us to pay their way in, we do it as a gesture of gratitude to them.I never understood this... if a local driver or even regional driver is coming to race, and their funds are limited, WHY DO THEY PAY FOR EVERYONE TO GET IN?!?

For the same reason that everybody bitches about PPMS charging for camping but it's fine that Lernerville charges the exact same thing for their camping.

The show is a little on the pricey side. It's PPMS. It's always a little on the pricey side. Everybody knows that, so I don't know why we need a new thread to bitch about it it for every single show.

Ya and if your a normal Crew guy that knows what it cost to get in that weekend you shouldn't expect for them to pay your way in. 9 out of 10 Crew guys do it cause they love to not so there driver or team owner pays there way in. I never expect them to.It's part of showing appreciation to someone for spending their free time basically working a 2nd job helping you have fun. At least that's how my family has always seen it.

Gearhead your a jacka$$. Lernerville has FREE camping at every event!!! They only charge for reserved camping up by the track. If ppms offered free camping along with reserved no one would have an issue with it,but they don't. That is why no one bitches about Lernerville.

Exactly, appreciation would be buying a case of beer for everyone, not paying 75 dollars for them to change a tire or two. As a crew member you should know how much it costs to race, and if you are using up funds to get into the races, how does that help your race team? its your choice to help, it's your choice to go to the races, you're not under a contract. That's all fine and cool that some people pay for their whole crew to get in, but they shouldn't complain one bit about a pit pass price then.

It takes one to know one. The people who bitch about the PPMS camping are the same ones who BUY the reserved camping at Lernerville. I can draw you a picture if that would help.

It's usually $35 during the season to get in the pits anyway. Some nights were $40. So you're going to two nights of racing and seeing the best in the business across 3 divisions for the same $75. Still don't see the issue.

I'd like to see Richards win, but it is so hard to bet against Bloomquist in 100 lap races. I see a local winning the Rush deal, Mollick has been on a roll, but most of the top five regulars have a pretty good shot. Chris Schnieder get around PPMS well and I see him or Todd Weldon taking the win.

The young Pierce is suppose to show for this race. I don't think he's ever been to PPMS. Black Sunshine has to be the favorite, evan on legal tires!!!

What a shocker, Pierce got scared! Just like at Tyler County for the hillbilly.
