They have to go a ways to top 'ol Billy Meyer at Texas Motorplex, the time(s) they sold coupons at a couple of booths to be used for food/drink, and by coincidence the face value never matched concession prices, so you always had 1-3 coupons left over, and so nice, coupon booths closed early....I figured at least 10,000 left with a few unused in their pockets

Brainerd charge years ago was collected by the Lions club I believe. When I asked what I got for the charge they said security. I then asked how much people who left paid for security. Nothing. So I asked if I am here with my car I need no security at night but that argument failed also. I told them I would leave and after going out to dinner returned. We also were harassed about " no dogs" so our mini dachshund became a ferret and passed inspection.
Yes charge was per person.

Darrel if you think that`s bad . Try hotel price`s 250.00 to 400.00 a night. If you can find one with in 50 miles of the track. National`s weekend talk about a rip off.

We have our motorhome. Right now we are planning on leaving with it. We'll just find another place to park. As far as security....I heard an hour or so ago that several rigs were broken into last night. Maybe they don't get the good security until Sunday night.

$10.00per night per person (2) for 3 nights = $60.00 per couple. Assume it is all profit since it is likely that no additional expenses will actually be incurred. Security and gate management will be necessary for the zoo crowd with or without racer campers. Of this 60.00 profit at least 35.00 will go to pay state income, property, and sales taxes AND federal income taxes. $25.00 remains for the track owner. Maybe they make too much money...maybe they will go broke...maybe they will sellout to a developer.
Free markets work. Pay and stay or leave and have fun exploring Minnesota. Just remember where those rich people that need to pay more taxes get the money to pay "their" tax bill. Elections have consequences.
Some racer should buy the track and do it "right"😉🏎💸🎉🇺🇸

I do know from my circle track friends that tracks that treat you right have more racers and more repeat racers which draws more fans. Whoever said " You can't sell a hotdog to an empty seat" was certainly correct.
