They have never attended another NHRA event since and I don't think they ever will, plus that is the experience they pass on to their friends.

Mr B,
They should have been offering the free crew pass since mid last century. Remember when they only allowed 1 restricted area pass? I'm sure some races were lost due to the person given it not having a clue what to do when something happened yet Pro cars had more "crew" on the line than an NFL team has on the field.😄
Everyone talks about the entry fee of $340.But the majority of people have at least one person with them.Now they are $95 for a pit pass. That is a $435 entry fee.Lose first round and I usually leave anyways. They wouldn't be losing any money on the deal.
