Count me in! This thread kills me. Less than 2 weeks ago, people were on hear saying USAC missed the boat. They were referring to the WWE type racing event at the dome in St Louis. It was an expensive ticket with paid parking and big event concession prices. I heard nothing but praise.
I have no problem with anything with this event. Last year a buddy and I went to the BC39. We had great seats. We parked in the north 40. Our total cost for 3 nights was $85 each. They were $25 each for the first 2 nights, and $35 for the last night. That is cheaper than attending 3 similar races at other tracks. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. To top it off, they refunded the money for our Thursday tickets, even though they ran the event. I have never had any event I have ever attended do that. Hard for me to say that it is not fan friendly.
I still have some health problems; it requires me to change dressings several times a day. I have to go to my car to do this. During last years program, I made one trip to the car during Thursdays program. Both of the next 2 shows were made up on Sunday. I made a trip to the car once during each show and once between shows. It was easy and I did not miss one lap on the track. Not quite sure how anyone can call that inconvenient.
As far as beer prices go, I am sure they are comparable to the prices at the World Finals at Charlotte. I have never heard a lot of complaining from people who have went to that. One thing I love about this event is reserved seating. Eliminates the blankey game, where everyone saves more seats than they need.
Another plus to this is no support classes. I will pay extra for that.
Chief, I am not sure where you were sitting, but with the grandstands pointing slightly to the south, I havent really had that much trouble from the sun there. I have definitely been places it is worse.
As for coolers. State law does not allow them there. There is an exemption for tracks 2 miles or more in length. Besides that there simply is not much room for coolers in the seating area.
I personally think a lot of you just try to find a reason to complain. You must because it is the same people over and over.
