We travel to a different track every weekend, and none of them come close to Flamboro's pit admission. I think Barrie is like 25, Peterborough is 25, Sauble is 17, and Grand Bend is 15.
It would be one thing if the show was better at Flamboro, but my team and I were disgusted at the special 50 lap late model race last month. Between the autograph session and the by-laply cautioned race - it took them over 2 hours. 2 hours for the least entertaining 50 laps I've ever seen.
Hope those "Big Shot" late model drivers learn how to put on a decent show for this weekend, because most of them should've been embarrassed of their last 50 lapper.
But ya, getting back to the original topic.. Flamboro doesn't deserve more pit admission money than any other track in Ontario, if you ask me.
Barrie is $22 for non members, $19 for members (NASCAR membership is $90)
I believe Sunset is $20 for the back gate.
When you run a speedway by charging excessive amounts at your back gate you have a problem. There was an article in SCR maybe a year or two ago that talked about that problem.
Barrie's concessions (food) skyrocketed this year and a lot of people aren't too happy about it, so we know what you guys are saying. The races are pricing themselves out of the "family evening out" price range... Still pretty good value, but if it goes up any more I can see people not coming out. Look what has happened with hockey and baseball games. No way I'm paying $25 for a hot dog and a beer.
