Maybe it was considered a fair because they sold fair type food!?
At the WoO show on July 12, we had to pay the $5 parking fee and we were given a yellow card that said “The parking fees are collected raise funds to make improvements to the Terre Haute Action Track to. Improve the racing experience”. If this is in fact true, then I have no problem with it. If it is lining someone’s pockets, I do.

I was under the impression that the Wabash Valley Fairgrounds owned the property the track sat on and the Fair Board managed it. I am almost sure that was the case years ago when my wife and I were in Terre Haute. That arrangement may have changed however.
