[MRM]

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I might have had they not had such a ridiculous admission price.

That is pretty high considering its not even a Lucas or WoO race...

I don't think $25 is too high for a $10K to win race. But I guess that's just me.

$15-$20 is more in line for that sort of deal. But $25 is still better than $250 for Cup tickets to some tracks. And the racing will probably be better than Sunday's race.

No it won't. That track has been going downhill the past few years. The track will be as dry as the desert unless it rains.

 

[toledo47]

It is a 10,000 to win but there is a $20,000 to win World of Outlaws race in Mississippi the same day so they wont get any big names. Anyway,I think dirt late model races are overpriced in general.. Usually a K&N east race is $15 or $20. ARCA short track races are usually around $25 or $30. Late model races are definitely still is worth it but i wish they were a little lower priced.

And there hasn't been an entertaining race at Bristol since Spring 2007 (translation: Old Bristol)

 

[MRM]

Uh-oh, they are creeping in a bigger chance of rain each day for Sunday.

If I had to buy a ticket myself, I probably wouldn't either go for that price. But thankfully, I don't have to buy a ticket.

Yeah it's crazy high for only two classes. Would have been a little better if they had at least thrown in the Hobby class.

I'm not a fan of them putting too many local classes with a big late model show. They always end end up being total wreckfests and often takes forever for them to even get 1 lap in. I'd much rather not have to sit through the local class heats and get out of the track at midnight rather than 1 or 2 am. I'd be more okay with it if tracks would put time limits on the local heat races, but they usually dont and it seems like it always takes way too long...

Agree on that. One support class is fine, two at the most. But they need to get the cleanest running support class in there. Not the ones that bring out the most cautions.

I agree to a point. I think the support classes should be rotated to be fair.
