The racers are "bringing" in the show, NHRA and the facitlity that the race is being held could let up on the racer rather then the spectator. Yes, give the spectator a break, but to give away tickets and have the racers pull their full load is not reasonable. I'm sure that NHRA has this all figured out that the racers will take on all the expences because the racers have the big investments in their rigs and race cars. Food for thought or just pissing in the wind!

Casey, It was a good deal for the fans and not a bad deal if you are a local and your Better Half could only make it on Free Pass Day so thanks to Raymond Skipper for coming up with a pass. And by the way VMP did make money for the prefered parking and if the Track makes a few Bucks maybe we'll still have a place to race. I'm pretty sure they make good bucks on the friday night TNT and the other Circus Acts they do so to turn a proffit on Divisional races isn't OK? It didn't cost us a dime to have spectators.
