The cost of racing is going up just like everything else. Back in the day tracks could get their concession help, safety crew, and push truck drivers to work for a sandwich and a drink, just because they wanted to come watch the races. Now you have to pay them to be there. Also the fuel for the water truck and the grader is higher. Insurance, taxes everything keeps going up. If you look at most promoters they have a day time job, and are doing this because of their passion for the sport and really just want to break even. We need to be happy that we have places to race, and Dodge doesn't do more ads using a closed down race track. That ad doesn't do the industry any good! Got to remember this is a hobby for most racers and is suppose to be FUN. When you purchase that 30k bass boat at the end of the day that will buy alot of fish at the store.
