I'm with Ron, the last 2 have been Classics. And think about this: how many of the hits this year would have been fatal in the 50's, 60's or even up to the 90's? All of the improvements to the cars and the facility cost money, and many of those improvements "enhance the experience" by allowing guys like Hinch to come back next year, and hopefully for many years to come. That's worth a bump in the ticket prices to me.

Speaking of Eddie Sachs, if you haven't read "Black Noon", you should get a copy!
