WOW......Special admission for WHAT??

[polaris13]

Looking at the Sunset web page today.......they have increased the admission for the last two "special races".  For Sept. 12th, its $23 and for Sept. 26th, it's $30 for the grandstands.  Can't imagine what it will cost to get in the pits.................think maybe I will visit another track on those dates......that's just crazy!!

If they are going to charge more thats fine but they need to guarantee a good car count. I have been to too many invitationals that have not lived up to the hype simply because not enough cars show up. I have said this before, as a race fan I cannot miss it because I might miss something good but on many occassions the races just haven't been that good. If the weather allows for racing today at Sunset, I hope they prove me wrong with good numbers but my guess is the count will be light; we will let you know

I think you missed my point.........they are jacking up the "special event" admission....above and beyond their regular "special event" admission!  It was posted on their web page in the last couple days.  I think if you post a "special event" admission at the beginning of the year......you stick with it....as these race dates were on the bill at that point............bad business practice to jack the price a couple weeks before the event

I think for the series that are going to be there the prices are fair..Vintage Mods Stefco and LM race I cant imagine them not researching who would come and numbers to attain success afterall this is the first race for lm and they would want it to be a great event jmo

Polaris specials on the website involved OSCAAR this isnt an OSCAAR Event and secondly this date was an added date to the schedule so its not applicable to the OSCAAR PRICING

 the osscarr specials were over priced as well at sunset  didn't the other tracks - sauble, peterborough only charge $18  to watch ?  and if it's a first don't you think they should charge a little less in case the car counts aren't there  ?
do they want to pay for this new track in 1 year?

How about everyone finds something better to do on this long weekend instead of sitting on their asses bitching about a track.

Go have a beer with friends, do your wife and/or girlfriend...just find something to do.

Its called free enterprise...if you don't like the prices, don't go!  I'm sure the rest of us that have better things to do the bitch will have a fine time without you!

Yes the Sept. 12th show was an addition to the dates, but I don't believe the Sept. 26th date was.  Can you justify an additional $10 increase??  But hello....my whole point is......if you post a regular price....and then a "special event" price.......you stick to it......I don't think it's good business practise to jack the price of an already scheduled "special event".

Furthermore Earnhardtfan, I don't drink, have a wife or girlfriend, but I will discuss that option with my boyfriend before we leave for the track!!

If you want to bitch go to Ontario Place today and I pay $25.00 just to park your car in the parking lot. So these race prices are a great bargin any day.

Personally Ive always paid 25 for OSCAAR even last year...And I think the car counts are going to be healthy. Theres alot of hype this year as Sunset is new and alot of people have come to try it out..Im expecting the same of the LM guys too. Ill be there for sure

Maybe polaris can save his money and his whining and drive a bit further north to watch some racing?
