Since this turned into a thread about ticket prices, I'll just say this. At least in my world, quality always wins. If I pay 5 more dollars to see a good show at a track that tries, as opposed to a track that doesn't put out the effort to make the show efficient and entertaining, why even pay 10 bucks. The only variable is travel time, after all, time is money. Someone on this thread mentioned Baer Field might bring out some fans who have hibernated due to no race's close by. I think that's a sound theory, and I hope that helps them succeed. I must say it's a wonderful thing to only drive 20 minutes to the track. Those of you who live that close to Kokomo should count your blessings!

Would help a whole lot if those were co-sanctioned events with SOD & MTS. Thought about going over there myself until I seen the admission prices. Still might just depends on what is going on closer to home.

What were SOD's average car counts last year ?

Based on a post in hoseheads awhile ago SoD average count was right about 21 last year. They had 7 races with less than 24 and I don't think they had any over 30.

I am guess but I think counts will be up this year for SoD. Drivers got to see that the tires really did level the field and I think more teams will invest from the start. Especially since GLSS expanded and Michigan teams don't tend to travel as much.

Talked to Dave at Baerfield this morning. The schedule is a typo in general admission prices.
Regular shows are $ 12.00 general and $25 pits

special shows $20 and $30

He is putting a lot of effort into this and I think everyone should appreciate it. If you have any questions feel free to call Dave or myself.

Thanks for the clarifying information, g.

We went to the World of Wheels at the State Fairgrounds in Indy yesterday and the admition price was $18. Only stayed about 2 hours and thought it was worth the price.

I think some on this board should spend a little more time "workin" instead of moaning on social media about ticket prices.
