All of this and still no answer on the beer in my cooler 😂😂😂

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

Because you are asking people who dont know either.

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

This thread is a perfect example of why no one wants to promote a race track. As my late buddy Don used to say, you couldn't pay me to have one. I haven't taken in a cooler to a track, except the infield at Indy in 10 to 15 years. Have still managed to drink plenty of beer, and haven't starved to death either.

This thread is comical but sad in a sense. We all know the powers to be see this crap and know what’s being discussed. This thread has been rolling since Thursday and it isn’t that hard to simply address the question asked. THAT made a post on Twitter about the coolers being back in the infield so I responded with the beer question. Guess what, crickets. You can’t tell me that someone connected doesn’t know this is out there. Whether it is Bill Rose or his clan, the fair board or USAC they all know the question being asked and why no response? Poor Mike is getting $hit for asking a question, i’d like to know as well. Do we need a little xtra for beer or something ridiculous? Am I running outside because the promo wants to gouge me when a case of beer here in east central Indiana is $19-23. In this time everyone is watching every nickel and that includes us the fan. The gas alone anymore is pricey and in my case i am driving from the east side to the west side. Buying beers here are not the issue so let’s get that out there. I don’t want to here from the morons if you can’t afford it you don’t need to be drinking crowd because that’s not the issue here.

I’m willing to bet we’re taking this way more seriously than the powers that be. People are always going to talk, doesn’t matter what it is. Either way it’s not going to affect my attendance. If I was the track promoter I might be sitting back with a beer chuckling about the banter here. Maybe they are because it’s really a simple question

Mega Dittos on this one! Yep, that is most likely how it works. Along the same line as how many businesses that sell beer (at least) are paying more for a case than a person could go to Costco or the such and buy a case themselves.

I walked into a restaurant the other night, and they blatantly (*) had it posted that you could not bring in your own food...I can't believe people would ever think they could, but I guess I'm not surprised (so it's not just IoW...). * Not the first type of sign like that I ever noticed, but this was displayed as thought it was an issue...

Again, ideally it will work for cost effective pricing (reasonable priced Busch Lights have turned into a big thing in places I attend), and I'm one of the cheapest guys in the world; but I just can not believe bringing beverages in is even an option...

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

Is there anybody here who would NOT go if you couldn't bring in your own beer?????

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

Only if they exclusively sell Bud Light. :7:
Those that google Bud Light will know why.

What, no Hudepohl or Black Label!

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

There is a post on the Action Track facebook that answers your question. Hopefully this will be the end of this thread.

16x16x16 inch coolers allowed in the infield only WITH can beer!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

It may not look like we have much more done to the Silver Crown car (right), but with less than two weeks ago, we've been working hard. Our pavement sprint car is on the left, ready to head to Anderson on Saturday.

And as far as all the cooler comments, anyone who needs a beer after the races, come on down to the trailer after the festivities and we will happily give you one!

I'll be damned. For one, they answered! For two, they are allowing brewskis! I guess I will HAVE to show up now!

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

I bet we still get a post about how someone wasn't allowed to bring a cooler in the grandstand, So they left.............. Prediction I feel safe about.

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

I don't recall much about the infield...(remember pitting and staging outside the track when we ran it...). With all this beer drinking; I gota ask; how are the bathrooms down there???

Looking for opinions. What would be a fair price to pay for a 16 ounce cold beer at the track? Keep in mind the price of ice

$5.00 for 16 ounce seems fair at an entertainment event. I go to 30 NHL games a year and beer is $11.50 for a 20 ounce draft at my home arena. I don't pay that as it's less expensive in the long run to purchase all inclusive seats. I've always wondered why race tracks don't offer an all inclusive admission.

Re: Terre Haute infield coolers
 

it seems fair grounds tracks concessions are priced higher than privately owned tracks. Probably the politicians cut

Have to love a guy referring to morons and what he doesn’t want to HERE from them. I doubt you will HERE them say anything, you might HEAR them though.

Oh **** i misspelled something in my haste to get back to watching the race from Richmond as i was posting. Thanks for following up.

Way to go Bill Rose and others involved. Coolers welcome, 16x16x16, piece of cake. Beer in cans only welcome. Infield only. Excellent idea!! I and others who enjoy drinking a few beers after a hard day of work or work week can enjoy that bc we want to, not bc we have to or bc were alcoholics. Families with kids who can't afford high priced concessions but still want to try and take their family to a race can now go and enjoy the race with a cooler in the infield!! Awesome business decision!! Well done!!

There are some places that are so perfect that you never want to see them change. The infield at the Action Track is just one of those places for me. The sound, the smells, the people with blankets, coolers and grills. Been going there for 55 years and it is amazing how it takes you back. Thank you for keeping it alive. See you in turn two.

So I was wondering if you think they’ll let me drive my car into the infield in turn 3 with my cooler with beer in it?🏁🏁
