It's a shame to see that Tri City has gone to non-family friendly ticket pricing for this show and is charging $5 for six year olds. Many young parents with kids may look at this and decide to stay home. I know my ticket cost just went up significantly.

I-55, for every show, always has family friendly ticket pricing with 12 and under free.

$100 to enter a midget. $150 after Oct. 1.:crying:

I'm really looking forward to this show.
I'm thinking the tickets prices are pretty much in line, after all the payouts are better than the Chili Bowl, neighborhood of $50,000 in the A-Main alone.:applaud:

Now looking at the original post by Kevin, it looks like it's been edited...
originally it was 6-12, $5

Good move Kevin!

Hmmmmm, $100 entry for $1,000 to start vs. zero entry for $100-$150 start (for a typical program). Ahhhhh yes, decisions decisions

I'm hoping to catch at least a couple nights of this,and because Morty lives so close by,I'm going to his house for supper!!

$1000 minumum is only paid to the 24 starters on Saturday night. The rest go home with pocket change. Members of POWRi like myself are given a discount entry fee at POWRi sanctioned races as opposed to non members who pay 1/3 more I believe. I'll look again but I don't see a $$$ break for members. My calculations tell me for the number of races that I run I would be way ahead not being a member.
