    Default Eastbay admission price

    Is $40 a bit excessive for front gate admission to a $12k to win race? And yes I paid it today.

    Well if the racing is as good as it has been all week it's well worth it.

    Well other places get $30 or $35 and have 7000-10,000 Fans. I think $40 is a lot also but they have maybe 1500 To 2000 Fans.

    I’d gladly pay double for this racing and zero support classes

    How many fans people are there? That sounds outrageous. But some people just eat it up!!!

    If the crowd is only 1500 I could understand. BTW

    Did the 40 get you in the pits ?

    I was looking again and $40 does seem kinda high since you can pay $5 more and go into the pit area. The downfall to that is there is no support class(es) for you to walk the pit area while those are running. Otherwise your missing the racing while your in the pit area.

    People had no problem paying it though.

    I don't know how the money is split up and all that stuff but the track basically makes or breaks the year with this event I would have to believe.

    Precisely. $40 for $12k and the purse they pay is tops to me, but I’d absolutely pay it and not feel hosed if the racing was good.

    I think $40.00. Is a lot, especially when they go to only 4 heat races. 7 races, over in 3 hours.

    Some call it gouging and some call it supply and demand. Vote with your pocketbook.
    I hate time trials.

    Some kind of 2-5 day deal would be nice for the dirt car nats down here in florida …. IMO the payper view is a better option when the weather is on the chilly side ….

    Especially when you lose some talent to outlaws that you had earlier in the week
