Lasalle SN

[triy]

has Tony lost it $30.00 for a $5000.00 to win S.N. purse I was going but I am going to pass this one up

[18mmod]

What's the going price for admission this year? Lasalle is the closest one to me.

[zooker25]

It is a lot but it will be worth it. He should have a higher purse though. He will make a killing I bet he will have a huge crowd with fireworks added. I'm making the 2 hr drive and hoping Tony runs the late model feature first.

[it"s a dirt thing]

Going price is $25 but with it being $30 you can get in pits for $5 more @ LaSalle

[MI Dirt Fan]

Merritt Speedway SN stop is only $10 or $15 grand stand price. $5k to win. They did only charge $5 grand stand admission last night for $1500 to win LM and $1000 to win mods plus fireworks.

[old fan]

oakshade I read is 12 bucks to get in both nights

[Mod22]

I believe Oakshade is $12 for general admission and $20 for pit passes every week. They dont charge extra for special shows. Kudos to Oakshade for doing this. It was this way 2years ago when me and a buddy went.

I know I won't be missed but if you're gonna start pricing yourself like NASCAR, eventually your stands will look like NASCAR.

[BirkyTime15B]

$30 is a little high...but it has fireworks. Wait for it....I hear the folks saying they don't about fireworks chirping in on this. But in terms of pricing like NASCAR....please, the stands are empty because NASCAR is BORING, not expensive!!!

[Cardirt0]

FarmerCity Is 25 Bucks and 10,000 to win......

[Bud99]

I live 5 minutes from the track and I'm not going. This is what kills racing ''GREED''. Have fun ya'll.

[Cardirt0]

I know I won't be missed but if you're gonna start pricing yourself like NASCAR, eventually your stands will look like NASCAR.

I have some friends that own big campers and use too go to NASCAR races all over the USA.... They said they go to Other things now because it went from 10 bucks too park there camper to 30 to 50 to 80. Drinks went from 2 bucks to 4 bucks to 7 bucks...Then they made them think they were not welcome, that you had too be young too be there, so they said fine we go some were else...NASCAR was trying too get more young fans ran off a lot of older fans....They ran off fans that went too 10 races for fans that go to 2 or 3,, Then some of the young fans went 2 years and moved on too something else .. France is a Idiot...... Somethings can only cost so much or people find something else too do.....

[zooker25]

[pierceFAN]

It's still cheaper and more fun than a pro basketball game...football game... Baseball game...Etc Etc

[old fan]

And a heck va alot more fun

[old fan]

You can't get in a cardinal ball game for under 30 bucks plus 20 to park etc etc etc

[old fan]

well i would consider this a 2nd tier race so actually i can go to ahl hockey games for cheaper than this. Those are chicago prices too.have fun in july seeing a hockey game lol

[zooker25]

Hey Budd99 since your 5 minutes away why don't you drive the track and tell us who is there!

[pierceFAN]

My point was in regards to other forms of entertainment $30 isn't bad... That's how I look at it...a movie is $10-$12... I'd rather see a race...just my opinion

[old fan]

just saying if we start comparing prices to national sport leagues we will all be in trouble. i was speaking of the ahl go ahead find a game in july

[J20in1st]

Well there's your answer....enjoy the game

[dirtdobber45]

Anyone with any updates? Appreciate it

27 late models

[XRACER1993]

... $30.00 is a lot of money, for what, a 40 lap feature...?.. cant blame the driver's on this one... You can always go to ump hell tour, and watch "live scoring ".. and if you go to the track, bring a cooler and make sandwich's .. oh well, time's have really changed, and not for the better, that is just how this world is today.. hope you guy's have a great time, and hope the track is good too !.. Hammer Down !..

[t4g2]

Well at LaSalle you can't bring a cooler in or anything in not even a soda or a water or snacks. They have u toss it in trash before you go in.

[kidrock]

lets see the promoters are suppose to make money and I'm gussing these are the races they are counting on to make enough money to keep the gates open the rest of the year at the same time make a little money. Their profit margin is not that much nowadays. Yes some are doing better then others and probably can afford to charge a little less. I guess it's a matter of the promoters making a profit keeping the gates open or just plain close the doors altogether. Racing is just not what it used to be. more and more drivers are getting out and more and more fans are not going on a weekly basis and I'm one of them and I used to go every week but, not anymore. Between work changing and selling the cars I just don't have the same level of interest anymore. I guess you have to way your options and see if its worth the 30 or not.

[kidrock]

No way am I tossing it in the trash. I would take it back to my car first.

[t4g2]

Ya and they are only open for 5 total races. I get making $ but think about it if only 200 ppl is $6,000 so their def making $

[kidrock]

Yeah LaSalle is probably not a good compairson as maybe some of the other tracks that are open every week they probably need the money in order to survive more then LaSalle.

Finish pierce weaver heckenest Coulter bob gardner

[Cardirt0]

Did Weaver miss up what happened .. Clean pass .. Run him over.. What What What

[427c.i.]

Weaver was married to the bottom and Pierce drove around him on the top. They were side by side at the finish, 32 barely got him. Clean as a pass can be in my book.

[GEAR_HEAD]

It was a great show and one of the most well-run shows I've ever been to. If every track had a surface that racey and ran the show that quickly there would be a lot more fans in the stands. Nice job Tony Izzo!

[TheJet-09]

The last lap pass by Pierce alone made the price of admission well worth it! I think his driving has reached a whole new level with the experience he's gotten in the truck series. Not sure who that cat in the 11 was (not Gundaker...Smith?). Never heard of him but he was tearing it up on the high side until he smacked the wall. Shout out to Bob Gardner as well! I'm not sure if he's led one of those things before but man he looked comfortable out front! His time on the road this year is paying dividends. And while the Pierce move was awesome, I hated it for Weaver. He's legit most anywhere he goes still, but a Summer Nationals win would've been huge for him. Great run still! As usual, hats off to LaSalle Speedway. The track ended up awesome and great racing as well. I'm glad I got to take it in one last time this year!

[Cardirt0]

Thanks Guys

[Highside Hustler25]

A gallant effort by Weaver. Thought he had that one. Thanks Tony for a well run program and getting me out of there in a timely fashion.

[ddracing]

Experience from the truck series. That's a good one. LOL

[Bubstr]

Heard some flack from the tailgate crowd about lack of cars, Babb B Shep Erb and Shirley and whether it was worth $30. The racing and last lap pass, kind of made that a mute point. Crow A LA King was served on lap 40. You can't ask for better than that. Bobby is getting to be more fun to watch every week.

Looking at it, with the reigning WOO champ Several UMP champs and several SN champs in the show, just how much can you ask for? LaSalle put on a great show.

[racecar1127]

B shep couldn't run it. Next time make it 10 ,000 to win and combine summernation/woo race and it will be a home run.

[kidrock]

Gotta love the guy in the green shirt throwing his hands up in disgust as Pierce gets Weaver at the line. I myself sure would have liked to see Weaver get the win and no I'm not a bobby Perece hater.

[powerslide]

Not only the feature was good the heats looked good on DoD as well.

[rickybrown1952]

Sounds like a great race

[Cardirt0]

Been friends with Weaver for years And Was hoping he win and Not a hater ether.....

[kidrock]

Yeah Weaver's a good guy and heck of a wheelman.

[MUD MAESTRO]

Was surprised a few mentioned drivers weren't there but the LM put on an excellent show. Cool to see drivers such as Joey Coulter, Austin Smith, Tyler Erb for the first time. All three were impressive......Concerning admission price,
probably a little high but glad to pay it if the drivers are compensated for the increased gross at the gate.

Just wanted to add.....Izzo went the extra mile to give a great racing surface to the drivers and fans

[IZZOJR16]

30.00 bucks is way too much for a to 5,000.00 IMO, GREAT race or not. and what about the drivers and teams? STILL RACING FOR 5,000 for most of these regional shows. The cost of racing keeps going UP but not the purses.

[SHOE32]

Love the upgrades to the track,tony. I'll pay 30 bucks for that show anyday and judging by the crowd,others will too. I think the banking change in the corners is what really helped. I don't think moving the tires in during miracle is fair to the leader,but overall,you keep promoting super lates in our area and I will be there. Thanks for a great nite,Lasalle speedway.

I've been to two races at Lasalle this year and they both sucked so I stayed home last night, figures I miss the only decent race there this year.

[racecar1127]

Anyone else think that Austin Smith might of won that race or at least made it really more interesting if he didn't wreck it?

[turnleftandgasit]

I think Bob would have released the Kid to the high side, if anyone would have challenged from behind. They have it going on, with that said.......... GO WEAVER

Now bring a famiky with and I'm not broke but I'm not dumb either

[MI Dirt Fan]

I don't know where you go to the movies but they are only like $6.50 or $7.00 and that's after the matinee.

[old fan]

I don't like scripted finishes like a movies
