I can't get too upset with whatever the admission price is when 5 bucks equals a gallon and a quarter of gas. Getting to any Indiana track from Evansville, outside of Haubstadt, requires a certain amount of money just for fuel. As long as it's a competitive race on a well prepared surface and the hot dogs aren't cold I won't complain. I don't mind somebody making money on the races as there will be no races to go to if they don't. Honestly, if you factor in all the work good owners/promoters do during the racing season and then add in all the off-season work of maintaining the facility and all that that entails I doubt those people are making much per hour. I check out Haubstadt a few times during the off-season and I see Tommy painting, cleaning, doing mechanical work on the push vehicles, he and Loris hanging banners, etc. Blake is right there with him and I applaud their efforts and all racetrack people who work their butts off and give me a place to drink some beer, chat with friends and scream my senseless head off when the action gets cookin. So make lots of money you track people and thank you for all you do.
