But I think I can do Kokomo twice on $40! Gas maybe $3-$5 round trip, I eat before I get to the track (Mcds Mcdoubles Dollar Menu), and take a cooler to stash at Bob and Monica's Camp. Or I can go once with pit pass.

Sit at home and order payper view. $40 wouldn't even cover a fraction of the gas to get some where for a USAC show. I could maybe get a local MTS show in for $40 in Michigan, but even that would be a stretch.

Since that's not enough to get into the Chili bowl I'm going to the Belleville Midget Nationals and eating a corndog

$20 in gas to go 170 miles, what the hell are you drivin a frig'n moped?

If I could only attend one race I would have to hitchhike to Eldora and watch the world 100.
Or drive and then wait till I find a person drunk enough to pay my way in. This one is more likely to happen. Haha

I get a bit over 30 MPG highway so getting up and back on about $20 is do able give or take a dollar or two.

If you take I-84 you get better gas mileage.:5:

I'm 10 miles south of Haubstadt so Tri-State is it for me. $30 should cover it with $20 or so to get in, eat a couple sandwiches with maybe a popcorn, take my own beer and ride the motorcycle. Sounds good to me! I kind've envy those who are more centrally located in Indiana who have multiple tracks within an hour or so but to have a great track 12 minutes away is also a treat. I-69 really makes Bloomington, Paragon and Indy easier to reach.

Re: You've got $40 to spend
 

Get a buddy to split the gas with me, pack a cooler full, and do the nearly 300 mile road trip to Haubstadt

The admission price would be anywhere from $10-$15 with a sandwich & drink in the $5-$8 range. Fuel would be $12-$15 range for out of town shows. They are:

DIRT-Gas City, Kokomo, Montpelier, Twin Cities, Lawrenceburg, Lincoln Park, Bloomington, Rushville, Paragon and Shelbyville. They all have open wheel racing on the card as well.

PAVEMENT-Anderson, Speedrome, Baer Field, LOR and Mt. Lawn. Some open wheel shows while others would be fendered cars.

Lucky SOB... Can I trade you those tracks for the tracks we have in S.E. PA? :17:
