World Series

[shorttrackcar1]

yea I went the first night nobody in the stands empty . Saturday was empty too. this fan choice is great I will never go back now. when I can stay home and watch for free thanks!! you can even watch the reruns this is great !! POOF!!! Florida Racing just keeps getting better.

I was there Friday night and crowd wasn't too bad. Saturday was competing w the big track so they lost a few. Sunday, I honestly couldnt care less about k and n..

Now tonight w the tour mods, I will be there again. Gate prices are kinda steep this yr too.

I hope that the ability to watch racing live via web sites and apps is not going to kill attendance at the track.Yes the track will get some royalty money but will it off set the loss of ticket and concession sales? I noticed on a film clip of a car flipping that the stands were almost empty. In the south many tracks are living off of the pit passes and infield attendance.

30 and 35 dollars is steep for grandstand, I have said for years for speedweeks make it affordable for a family to get inside, you will more than make it up on concessions, there is not a large population of people close by so people have to travel also to get to the speedway. A family could only go probably one night.

Yes And NO

Wrong all of it is free

The TV was free if you could keep it streaming. But now if you are not a member of Speed 51, there is very little info there.

I doubt anyone considering attending the races would stay home and watch on the Web for free, totally different experiences.

If the stands are empty it's because of the steep ticket prices and the cold weather. This week will be a lot warmer so let's see what happens.

Selling tickets for $15-20 a night and even offering a pass for the whole week for $60-$80 or something would really bring the fans out

You said a mouthfull that time

I think that you hit it on the head that time. They are thinking that they are one of the BIG TRACKS down the street $30.00 a nite...Did the Mouse buy the place or what?

So they rained out tonight and are only rescheduling the Tour Mod 50. Didnt they run double features last year for everyone when this happened? Sucks for the fans who drove out there tonight. Wasted trip.

It's NSS

You are at NSS, what more can you ask for

[Ryan29]

I'm not really complaining I'm just wondering what changed from last year? Why give us less racing?

Did you get your $35 back or a voucher to go another night?

great place-great racing

I went Monday night for the first time in 4 years. I was shocked to pay 40 bucks to get in the pits! I started doing the math, I always like to do the math, lol,, and figured out quickly how profitable speed weeks is. It is a good thing for NSS, all tracks need to make a profit, but this is a home run. While most tracks in Florida are struggling to keep there heads above water, NSS is having a very good week at the back gate alone, Maybe next year I will pick a night to go when it does not rain. Congrats NSS!

Congratulations to the Dick Anderson team and driver Josh Todd for a great Speedweeks performance so far, including a feature win Saturday night. And thanks to Kevyn Terry and all the other teams using Renegade Racing Fuels at this years World Series of Asphalt Racing at New Smyrna Speedway.

Vince, while you are correct, NSS is bringing in a lot of revenue during speedweeks, you fail to realize that this revenue is what helps keep NSS open throughout the entire year. Those summer nights in July and August when they have 30 or 40 cars show up and a couple of hundred fans because of the heat and / or threat of storms, I am sure they lose considerable monies.

I agree that $40 a night for a pit pass is a bit much and it has actually quelled me from attending all the nights that I would have liked to.

Agree

Fred23, I agree with you 100%, they do a great job on World Series, and Gov. Cup weekend. And those two events alone may sustain the track for the entire year, which in my book is a very smart business plan. Hats off to a track making money.
