So a one day pit pass would be $75?

Wow. Everybody wanted the lucas series, including me, 75.00 for a 1 day pass is hard to justify. Be interesting to see what that does to the car count. Team of 4 is 300.00. ???

I understand you get a feature Friday night as well but both nights of the Firecracker were $75. Both nights of the Pittsburgher are also $75 plus you also get a $2000 to win Rush LM touring series race and a $2055 to win Penn Ohio Race. Obviously the one day pricing is to get you to come both nights or prepare for a one day rainout show. How is that a ripoff?

And yes RC 2403, the 2015 Pittsburgher was nationally acclaimed and voted the 4th best race in the entire country that year. So locally it IS the race of the year.

Haters are gonna hate! Even though they had a whole year to save $1 per day, and be able to go and have a blast, and see a great show on that $350 they could have saved for a whole year.

75 bucks for 2 day pass ain't bad. People are retarded on this board. If 75 bucks is gonna break you to watch the best dirt latemodel drivers in the country u need to find a new hobby/sport to watch.

I agree totally and you know come saturday night when the main events take place I'll be in my normal spot standing in the turn 4 opening..but imagine someone who follows the series,works late friday and rolls in late with a little camper for one night,he's getting bagged for $75.00 camping,$50 or $75 to get in for B mains and features then another $10 bucks for a burger and coke..
that turns into a $200.00 show,just a bit of a money grab I'd say.

Its still a choice. I understand your point also. But if it was the woo series I would say not worth it but just to see theses guys that run the lucas series is worth it to me. But that my opinion.

If the show is as good as it was last year I'd say it would still be worth going for just the one day. Brian had the track PERFECT for Jook's race and if he can duplicate that for 2 days it will be great.

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...

You know, there's never going to be a time where everyone is pleased. The way I look at it is, the place is still there and running, the best in the business are coming to put on what will probably be one hell of a show, and on top of the Supers, you get 2 other races. Seems to me that the Mileys are doing a great job on what should be the race of the year!
