Went to the 2018 Oval Nationals as a first timer and enjoyed the race overall, for me that came with a fairly large amount of spend between airfare, rental car, Hotel and food. What struck me was that good reserved tickets were fairly easy to get a month or so before the race and didn't cost all that much under $100. Not sure if it's the Southern California market that won't pay higher ticket but prices but I honestly expected it to be more. Likely spent almost as much on $10 beer that weekend as tickets.
My point is one would think for a showcase racing program they could raise ticket prices to help support expenses and pay a good purse. Hate to see this show become just another race on the schedule. Do get the point about basically getting the same cars no matter what the purse is but hopefully a sponsor will step up in the next month.
