The crux of my point was that if the line item costs covered by a pit pass are like this: Admission $12, Insurance $8, scoring $5 for a $25 pit pass the admission and insurance don't have to be paid a second time. You're in, and you're insured. You can't double insure yourself!
I'm not going to spend any more time on it because it is essentially arguing semantics. If it feels right to pay it, pay it no matter what it is called.

I'm not criticizing you, just trying to figure this out in my head. I haven't been a regular in the pits since the late 80's in California, so I'm a little fuzzy on this. Here's the thing that comes to my mind. If a team buys pit passes and some of the money is considered an "entry fee", how does that fly when fans buy the passes? What is the difference, since the price is the same? If it was "itemized", and some of it was considered an entry fee, then the fans who aren't part of a team shouldn't have to pay the part of the pit pass that is an entry fee. At the same time, if a driver has multiple cars, then additional entry fees for each car shouldn't be the same price as additional pit passes. What is the present rule for a trailer that brings a back up car? Do they pay for each car?
