A few bucks would be reasonable. $50 to watch is not. I would prolly pay $20. I would bet they could make a lot more money if they dropped the price and allowed anyone to watch. I agree who races should be invite only but why discriminate against those who want to watch? Just sounds like the elitist attitude that most of the 1000hp guys have to me

It's a sub-1000hp car only event. Eat a donut.

It's cheap for a private event, you could always stay home and buy a video of it for 20 bucks that just has the highlights.

Its a private event that is VERY expensive to put on. If you don't want to go, then don't. Its not very complicated.


Were you invited BTW?

Not trying to tell anyone how to run it.

But why do that? When the guest spots easily sell now, and they don't have to worry about accommodating more people? Restrooms, food, etc… it all becomes more expensive with more people.

lol everyone that knows me personally, knows I'm not a snoody guy. Just being realistic.

LOL, agreed on both accounts.

Derek means well, it's just his complete lack of experience in a lot of things tends to show at times. Anything racing related just isn't something he is experienced with at all.

Really Steve, are you that cenial that you have to always try to work in some jab like that? Honestly, there was no need for that comment in this discussion.

Yes, Will, that's why it's called a joke. Just from the little bit I hung out with you at TI I can tell you're not that way.

I'll be sure to say something smartass to you on Sunday

And I get that. I was just looking at it from the outside in as someone that would definitely like to attend something like this, but cost being a factor.

Do they offer press badges? LOL I can take pictures.

Actually yes. I think the press thing is filled up, but its something to look into for sure. TI and RR media is always bad ass.
