If you think so I'd be interested in exactly what all has made the experience that much more exciting and enjoyable. Our seats are in exactly the same location, we can still see less than 1/2 of the track and the racing this year was indisputably less exciting and enjoyable

Have to agree the previous five races were very good and at some point a race will not top the previous and that may have been this year. It didn't seem to get the crowd interest I have seen in the past. Maybe it was aero package, hot track, fans melting in the heat. I did bring two 500 rookies and they loved it. So maybe it wasn't so bad we've just been spoiled. One thing they did do to make the trip better was the fly over I thought that was one of the best.
As far as seat prices they must be upping the prices on the seats fans are most requesting. Come on over to the backstretch with me. Nobody wants these seats apparently no increase for me next year. So lets keep this a secret but I can see turns 2,3 and 4. not sure where you can see more.
The crowd did seem down a bit this year but I bet renewal upgrade requests are heavy for the covered flag stand to turn one area where the bigger increases are. I am sorry to hear of such an increase for you. Maybe you could look at it the other way around and that you had been getting a great value all the years past.
