Thanks for sharing Vukie. I'll keep that in mind as I usually have some friends come into town to go to the track. I'm out there pretty much every day the place is open so I always buy the bronze badge for the month that costs $100. Wonder if that will go up.... I knew they hadn't rasised prices in a long time, but didn't realize it had been since the early 90's....still a good deal IMO.
