    t4g2 I first went there when I was 6 yrs old. Back in the day... Thanks to my Dad... Been hooked ever since. Back when Bobby Shell & Jack tine & they ran what they called rails back then.(Sprint cars) Larry Cannon who ran the Indy 500 back in the day. Look me up... I will be hanging out near what used to be called the old Hippie bus in turn 4. Lol...

      I followed racing because my uncle's raced in the 80's with him leka Mike mudd tom reints. I watched babb start in modifieds an have followed him ever since. An now I usually go to a few big races in my free time which is very limited. I buy a few drivers pit passes at some races I just randomly pick. I try to help the small teams out. My group is by burn pile an we are partying late usually til 4am

        From a former 4m member I chat with on the US DIRT website www.usdirt.com
        MiDirtFan wants to know how you run a milti million dollar business but complaining about $20 admission to an event with higher payout to win and added extra class?

          Easy just any customer would complain if I raised my price on an item just because it's summer time. An wasn't complaining just saying you raise it 500 an add a class for 1000 so 1500 $ doubles the admission fee? Macon has just as many class an runs double features this weekend for $15 and how you think I make multi millions by watching my $ an not throwing it around wasteful

            So if a million people skip this race, then two million others will show up to take their place???? WOW!!!!
            And some wonder why the above poster is placed in timeout more often than Marty McSorley.

              So if they only ran supers that night would $20 be worth a $7k to win race? Just trying to understand logic. I think the $10 weekly shows are a great bargain.

They don't put enough water on the track. They bring out a mister to dampen the track. And it took rubber both times. No passing @ all. Maybe, I have had just bad luck there. Idk.. But, the prices were good & the fans pack the place.
                  Sounds exactly like Brownstown Speedway, Track prep is just a "MISTER"... A joke.

I would like to here about that track. FALS give you more bang 4 you're buck then any track that I know of. Oak Shade also gives fans a great deal to get in as well.
                        Portsmouth has a memorial race in August that charges 12 for GA and 20 for a pit pass and pays 5k to win, and 1077 for fast time. About every class they run that night gets a pretty big boost purse wise from top to bottom.

                          You run a multi-million dollar business and think FALS makes a million dollars on PDC weekend...... this is why women say men ain't good with numbers.

                          No way FALS profits half of what you say. Being a business owner and all, you should understand all the expenses better than the average fan. I'd say, after all is said and done, if they profit 25% of what you claim they do, they would consider it a huge success.

                            Pdc break down. 6,000 people x 45= 270,000. 5000 reserved× 10= 50,000. 265 campspots x 45= 11,925. 130 cars per car has on average 3 pit crew s0 that's 390 pit passes × 75= 27,000 total of 358,920. Purse $ 96,000 = 262,920. That's before concessions so there's no way they have 196,500 in other expenses.as you say 75% is expenses since you say they m

                              You should be able to find a seat, if you do go.
