You got that right,Doc!! It is always the little guys that pay for the show cars...Last year it was 80.00...I did not go...Yet they will have a spectator count between 5-7 thousand people at 25.00 a shot...And I guarantee the staging lanes will have around 125 Pro and Super Pro cars...

I remember the last BIG SHOW at Detroit Dragway ... Benny the Bomb, wheelstanders, a couple of Fuel FC's etc .....

To race ? ... it was 15 beans ... to WATCH on the spectator side was 20 or 25 !!

I won bracket TWO that nite ....800 to win 100 r/u. I knew the guy in the final ...I split the money B4 the final ...and we raced for a HUN.

Is Detroit Dragway still open?

It's not 1980 anymore. Prices go up. You pay, you have a good time. $90 entry to get half you money back after 2nd round isn't bad, and 2K to win? Sounds like a decent deal to me. Then again, I still know that track has to make money to survive.

I hear what you are saying,Jeff. This year there has been record car counts and I know they have to survive. I am fortunate to have a nice track only 37 miles from home. If Tri-State and CFR were the same distance,I would choose Tri-State..

J-X.... Double D has been BULLdozed-uNder ferr years ... but it still has memories ...

BOTH the racer and the tracks NEED each-other. But there are many ways that the tracks are "abusing" the racer. Like ....some don't count buy-backs into the base car-count.

BUT ... if that does not concern you .. that is OK.

Re: The circus is coming to town!! - 07/15/11 02:38 PM

Doc...Buyback is 100% profit for the track. I have no problem with that...Ray and Jeff..I am sooo happy to be a source of your entertainment..

Sounds like a good time, I think I'll come down and spectate. Anyone else near the Twin Cities wants to go. PM me, maybe we can car pool it or something.
