You also have to remember, if you roll in Wednesday Night, girl asks you if you are T&T or going to the beach, going to fly an airplane, etc. What's saying, "Nah I'm not going to T&T" and you have a MH full of 10 people or you're not even racing but brought the MH & Trailer (Ive seen people tow an empty trailer) and tell her you'll be back tomorrow, and you never go back to pay. It simply amazes me that we have these multimillion dollar rigs, nice cars and we gripe over $10 or $15 the track gets us for at the gate.
No kidding. Not to mention these same guys will burn 2-3x more money in generator gas just sitting around waiting for the race to start.

I got absolutely no beef if you wanna go early, more power to ya, but being up in arms over $15 seems silly.
