I agree about the mods not being needed, if they ditched them and added $5 dollars to the gate, would you complain or compliment?
Not everyone is on vacation. I used to average 80 or more races per year since I moved here in 2006, and when the first Midget week track went to $25 I stopped going there as the year before it was $ 20 admission, and I left at 12:30 am and they hadn't run the sprints. I figured if they couldn't run a good paced program for 20, why would I want to pay more for the same thing, especially on a work night the next yr?

That was a couple years ago, and I've gone from 80 plus races a yr to about 20 last yr and I doubt I'll go to that many this yr.
