GA at $35 on race day? You've lost me. I sucked up $25. Then $30. Will not do $35. Crush me all you want. I draw the line. Good luck.

I believe those prices are the same as what was charged for the Bill Gardner Sprintacular USAC shows.

You are correct, but why is LPS sucking $5 more outta my wallet then other USAC races at other tracks?

Has the purse gone up for the sprint week shows in recent years? I ask cause I attend some of the summer national late model shows and the standard week night shows have paid $5k to win for 20 years. They used to be $20 at the gate and are now $30 in several places for the same payout. If purse goes up I don’t mind paying more but have cut out some of those shows that are just charging more for the same ole thing.

Great Stats BillV99!

Still does not answer the burning question at hand, as to why Lincoln Park Speedway (Spiker) charges more than any other track on the schedule for the same ISW event, GA , day of show admission, not to mention other high profile events.


Let us not forget that Mr. Spiker also operates 3 facilities that have a ISW date and is a partner in a new Winged Sprint Car series.

Don't know if LPS does it. but you can buy advanced thru Myracepass at some tracks.
I don't do it myself because my luck, I'll walk out of the house and be halfway there before remembering I forgot my phone with the tickets on it.

How is Sandy Lowe going to shed light on this decision? It's a decision that was made by the people who run the business
