And the new normal begins

They last time I ran the Keystones, half of the pit area abutting the farm was cordoned off for VIP parking. Looking at NHRA's website, VIP parking was $25 per day. You can fit 4 cars in an average pit space, times 3 days, equals $300 for the weekend. Plus the VIPs buy concessions and souvenirs; they don't have to be teched, weighed, or fuel checked. Sad reality is your pit space is worth more to NHRA as parking. (I was in the last spot along the chain link fence next to the VIP area. The VIPs kept trying to park in my pit spot. My wife had to shoo them away when I was making a run).
