Well if you don't normally have to pay for her then you are by far luckier than we have ever been. Cale has been going to the races since he was 1 month old, 36 race tracks, 14 states and 2 countries in his 29 months of life, I can count on one had the tracks that have allowed him in for free or discounted. A few Illinois tracks do a discount for kids in the pits which is great, one Indiana track graciously has allowed him in free while he is a baby, and another Indiana dirt track will not even allow him in, so we obviously don't go there unless it's USAC. Every where else for Jerry, Cale, and I just to walk through the gate for Jerry to race we must pay between $75 and $90. With another one on the way we have realized this job that used to be so family oriented will no longer be. Paying $120 a night for Jerry to do his job that we live off of is making less and less sense. It sucks, but that's how the majority of race tracks are. Like I said, we've had to buy Cale pitpasses since he was just a couple months old, and at that age, i assure you he didn't get $30 worth of enjoyment from the actual races, but he did get it out of being able to travel as a family and us all being together.

I should add, I do find all these tracks kid friendly and to all the ones that allow my son to even be in the pits THANK YOU!
