Ticket/crew pass situation this weekend

[Bobby Fazio]

I called Maple Grove today and they said I had to ask Bob Lang about this. I guess there would be no way to prove that you were originally an $85 crew member or if you were just a stranger off the street who heard there was some racing going on that you could watch for $10.

Perhaps they could think of all the fuel, work days, hotel rooms, travel time, and $$ it cost to come and go last week and actually let us transfer our crew passes in lieu of $10 per day tickets? That would be a nice gesture and I would tip my hat to them if they did that. I already used my crew passes last weekend I'm just trying to get my relatives out (Hey more fans for you NHRA) to watch us this weekend and only pay 10 bucks a day, and actually come and talk to me instead of being on the other side of the berlin wall.

I was informed by James Perrone that he paid 85 for a crew ticket. NHRA should be embarrassed. They should be happy with racers coming back but instead they shove it in our *** again. I'm glad to say I'm not going back. Wish everyone good luck but NHRA can go scratch.

Bobby - I was told the racer AND the crew passes were good for both weekends.

Don I know they are good for both weekends that is why I used them last weekend and will use them again this weekend. But now I have 4 relatives that would like to come on saturday and I can't get them in on 10 dollar tickets. There is no way I am buying four 85 dollar crew passes for one day.

So if a family of 4 Amish tug up to the gate with their horse drawn buggy on Saturday and want to venture into the pits to check out real HP, its going to cost them $85 per beard, errr, head...lmfao...

$85.00 was the price for a three day crew pass - Thousands of people come to national events for just 1 day (you know they're the ones who make impossable for us to get to the lanes ) Spectators in the pits - they don't pay $85.00. Buy a regular pit pass for a spectator - the only thing they won't be able to do is get a restricted area pass. But then how many do S/Sers get normally? 2 - 3

All I know is I bought a 37.00 pass last Friday plus 10.00 parking and couldn't get a refund cause the sportsman guys were not racing. I decided to try the whole buy online BS to save some time but, when I found out that the sportsman cars were moved to this weekend I asked to be refunded. Hahaha I had a better chance of seeing Dan and the 4 Amish people and their horse and buggy entering Z/SA at the Dutch. Now to top it all off I have to buy another $10.00 pass tomorrow so I Bobby's family and I can sit in the spectator's side of the grandstands.....hmmm Shakedown at E-Town is sounding better and better by the minute!!
