Big E tickets

I wonder if it will still be a deal in 5 years when 40 cars show up.....

Truck race actually went down... $40 in 2018 and $34 in 2019.

They don't even sell out the truck race any more. Nobody wants to watch them log wagons after seeing the Late Models.

The street stocks are much better too.

Only 40 cars for the World 100, the biggest race around? Or the Dream for that matter! I'll take that bet!!

I dont think I am that far off. Its a huge expense to race on that track for 3 nights to start with. Next, think about all the tracks that now run a decent paying race that weekend. Its no longer a sacred weekend, its just another weekend. When the son of the winningest driver of that race does not show up to try to win and cherry picks a race 'closer' to home then yea, sorry its just another race to some people.

I just read that Ronnie Delk is done as a car owner this weekend. Calling it a money pit. Just another car owner (rich guy) gone and there is not a line of more rich guys to take his place. Its happening all around racing for some time. Some people just choose to think that paying another $25k to the Dream winner and not back back the field seems like a great idea!

This years DEFENDING Nascar owner called it quits. A billionaire that does not want to spend his own money. Sponsorships for the big boys are hard to find let alone at this level. Dwindling car counts are in every form of motorsport. I am big NHRA fan, a decade ago you would have 22 plus cars vying for a 16 car Sunday field. Lately some fields have not been full. 3 top Pro Stock racers are moving on next year. Top Fuel is same way. Capco putting Billy in a car to fill the field. 2 80 year old guys that dont have a chance in heck of making it past first round as well.

Nascar lowered starting fields to 40 from 43 and most races rarely have over 36. so what happens when the rest of the Barney Vissers back out?

Racing has NEVER been a poor guys way to have fun but come on. So yea at this rate there will be 40 cars at the World 100....

Exactly !! Eldora is even nicer everytime I go back, nothing compares to eldora , the fact that their ticket prices are in line with anywhere else is remarkable. A 20k 1 day show at Pittsburgh that pays 1200 to start is 75 for a pit pass on top of the 105 entry fee ....

I only go there to use the restrooms.

[Clayton_Wetter]

I have no issue with paying a few extra bucks for Eldora, well worth it.

SHHHHH!!!!

That encourages them to keep raising the prices!!!

[Clayton_Wetter]

Seems like a big increase for only 25k extra...

Maybe only about 20% of the price increases went into the purse?
