They announced before the race today there were 100,000 people there. I think in the last few years they have said it holds 150,000 after they put all the seats up between the turns..
What kills me is its a surprise to ANYONE?
Gas has doubled in 3 and a half years although it was about this high before about 4 and a half years ago.
I sold all my racing stuff after Katrina hit and gas spiked. I started following stuff nobody really cared to listen too. The under informed people just think the economy will always get better and the mainstream media says it is better!!!
If they figured the unemployment rate the way they did in the 1930s the rate is almost 16% not the 9 % percent they tell you. The day has come when gas is 4 times more what it was 10 years ago. Your food has probably went up that high also, most people just dont notice.
..Gas is tied to everything you buy.Why wouldnt you think everything wouldnt go up?
Just wait till all this GREEN stuff kicks in! The EPA is going to raise all of your energy costs. It will not only kill the american peoples pocket it will put more small buisnesses out of buisness.. A few are paying attention, but not very many!
Most will follow the leader and are going to be in for a rude awaking in the near future!
