    No thanks $20 for a $3,000 show esp when it's $10 to get in for a $2,500 show so charge double for $500 that makes a lot of sense.

      20 bucks for Fairbury is well worth it. 20 bucks at some other places maybe not so much.
      I hate time trials.

        To me it's well worth it. Its more than just watching the late models, its the WHOLE race card altogether. Will be a great entertaining evening.

            They probably have to pay AMS a sanctioning fee as well.

                Hey goober where do you think the Crate Late Model payout was going to come from. The only thing paid for was the regular classes. Not hard to see what wrong with racing fans whine about something.

                  Easy comes from entry fees and pit passes and sponsorship or as any other business that's were it should come from. I run many bowling tournaments over the years and that's where my payouts came from. I run a multi million $ business. Doesn't take a genius to figure out they make close to 1 mil pdc weekend alone.if if you truly break it all down.

                    And good for them if they do, although anyone with a grasp of grade school mathematics would see that those numbers don’t add up. Kills me when people are jealous of what someone else might make. So stay at home and keep your $20, that’ll teach em.

                      12,000 seats I say 2,000 are kids volunteers veterans. So 10,000 an this is on low end times 45$ for weekend that's a half million there plus 5,000 are reserved so x 10 to Thoses seats. Plus 265 camper spots x 45 each. Plus 120 cars with 3 pit crew x 75 per person so theirs all that. An that doesn't include concessions souviners beer or the sponsors they have for that weekend.

                        Not jealous by any means glad they are doing well. Everyone thinks that track is broke far from it. With the updates they had to because they were a non profit but now with curl majority owner now it's a business. That's why camping, general admission and pit passes for pdc went up in price for this year.

                          They should raise the prices for their weekly show's as well. I would be charging at least 15.00 a night.

                            12,000 seats at FALS? What the heck are you smoking. Not even close to 10K seats.
