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.

The money has to come from somewhere.

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:

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

$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.
