we just put on a $20,000 to win show at brownstown a couple of weeks ago and charged $30, to where we had a packed house.

With the types of purses the promoters put on, these prices are necessary.
hey chris,
when is the last time you had to pay to get in :d :d

Talk to Mr Rudisell about how much of an a$$beating he's taken money-wise this year. I have had talks with the man.... and he is a straight-shooter when you ask him questions. Ask him in person how this year has went as a promoter. When your construction company and mother nature kick your butt and you can't start your season till June, you cant expect to make money!

Like Chris said.... the late models have some high purses and have higher gates. World of Outlaws is a testament to that as well. 25 bucks at Eldora for ONE class, the show, and its the usual racing. $23 and you are going to have better racing.

It must be the same $3.00 Lawrenceburg has been extracting from us all season. It is $15.00 for a regular show at the Burg and $12.00 or less at most all other local tracks.

Regarding the back side parking and having a cooler as mentioned above, you can have a cooler in all the seating areas. However, you can't bring your own beer into any area, including the back stretch area.

I would pay 30 bucks to see that race. Quit complainig it will be a great time and I will be there supporting Dave a great promoter. Winchester could take some lessons from Dave how to treat people who spend there money at there track..

So your saying that the paying customer/fan is there to make up for any construction or weather problems that cost the promoter money in any given year. What's next, charging for rainouts.:idea:

If all of them seats were full for the Fall Classic (@ $25.00 ea.), which is why the Mayor had 'em built in the first place, Dave could have retired after that one race.:wink

ps. I don't really think $23.00 is that out of line for this show.

I don't find $23 that out of line for show with a bigger purse. I have grown to accept that $20+ is the norm for sanctioned shows or shows with a big purse.

For sticker shock how about the email I go for the DTWC Late model event at KC speedway. Advance tickets are $40. Day of show is $50.

Regardless of the price, you always have the the choice to vote with your wallet. If it is too much, don't go.
