$25 rip off?

[Trash Inturn4]

I'll ask the question for the third time in this thread......which track are you referring too, Don ?

[Lizzard]

Well, unless we all missed something it was NOT OSW. We did have to fill out a form saying where the 1099 should go to but no fee.

A-dale charges reg. fee

Auburndale, paid it the first race of this year. But they have been doing that for about ten years now.

Oh you stop your lying, everything runs like clockwork up north and no one ever complains, ever.

Sure they do. They complain because the concessions run out of food some nights. They complain because Albany-Saratoga was getting 50 cars some weeks in just the sportsman division alone, and that takes a while to get through. They complain because who wants to drive all the way down to Grandview to race a 358 modified for 2,650$ to win every week? They complain because if you pull into Williams Grove on a Friday night a little bit late you might not find a place in the stands to sit. They complain becuase super-promoter Brett Deyo keeps putting on races that literally sell race tracks out, and he does it at a reasonable cost to the fans with a very good payout to the drivers. Crazy crap up there, so much to complain about!

Oh yes, they do complain there too. And I've been to Accord and never paid anywhere near that much, but it's been 8-ish years since i was there.

You could move there permanently and be closer.

I never charged for reg a car .
We did have a nascar or fascar fee but it was for extra Ins and wasent mandatory in my years.
We did sell slabs at the first of the year a few times but never a fee to park.
The tracks are looking for new ways to help the cash flow at the first of the year.
Reg fee? They want you to pay for them doing there job??
Entry fee is to help with the purse and the high pit fee is for better ins..I get that
but 1099 fee??
First you have to earn enough money to get one anyway. They are going to charge you for doing the fileing that the gov says they must do..Sounds like a OBMA rule to me..lol

More costs to the car owners?

When I lived up in new jerkey, around 1990?, the tracks began charging anywhere from $30-$40, for what they called a "Pit License", At 1 time I frequented 5-6 tracks every yr. IMHO, it was just 1 more straw for the camel's back, and another factor in the demise of much racing up there, today, I think there are only 2 of those tracks still running.
