I was all excited about this race until i seen what they charging for grandstand on july 3 If this race pulls alot of cars it wont be that bad but 32 dollars is high But i still wouldnt miss it for anything

[badacefaist19]

yeah no kidding, i mean they didnt charge that much for the lucas race.

[scdirt]

Everyone tells me the track is not known for high car counts Does anyone think 20000 to win 1500 to start will pull anymore in than normal you would think so I say 40 to 45 cars tops and i hope im way under for 32 dollar grandstand tickets

Twice the purse then for the lucas race and only $6 more. I'll be there for sure. If 6 bucks breaks me I'm broke anyway and need to stay home.Car count means nothing at tazewell to me. seen some hellaish races there with 12 cars many times and left with my face blue from holding my breath. can't wait!!!!

It wont break me but 32 dollars is to much for any race in my opinion I have been there and the racing wasnt as good as everyone told me but it is still nice and i enjoyed it Another point is the commonwealth 100 was25000 to win 2500 to start and was 30 dollars for both days just sayin

[sammers11]

I agree with you but you have to take into consideration the size of the venue also. Taz doesn't hold near what some of the bigger tracks do. Either way I'll be there and have a great time. Racing is a vickle thing sometimes it's so so and sometimes it's great. I just wanna be there when it's breathtaking and hopefully it will be for the WoO show.

looking forward to the 101 laps of WoO

That is a good point also if you order tickets in advance you will get 5 dollars off each day so its not as bad as i thought at first Now all we need is a good turnout of cars some good weather and some fine east tn racing cant wait

[MRM]

We are still attempting to get things set up for the advance tickets through the WoO web site. I'll put in a call tomorrow to see if they'll be able to have it set up after all.

[MRM]

The ball was dropped on both ends about being able to sell tickets online. Instead, the track will be offering the Sunday tickets for sale on Saturday so fans attending both night can avoid the lines on Sunday night.
