Other tracks are raising pit passes AND cutting purses I'd be happy he just opted for an extra 5 bucks.

You think 30.00 is bad,come out here to California where 40.00 to 50.00 is the norm.

Im not going to mention other tracks by name but a couple did it two years ago and unlike the Burg, Haven't raised the purse every year like Lburg, Don't pay 225 to start and don't pay 100 dollar tow for sprints.

While I'll always agree price increases suck. Theres two sides to every coin
Im sure the lighting, diesel, insurance and everything else hasn't gone down.

That being said, 4.50 for a pretzel with cheese? $&$#(##&$(@#*

I've seen places renting pit stalls for the year.

Don't some california tracks charge so much per car to park? Something I've yet to see in Indiana except ORP and back when Mel had to mow the grounds at the Burg and charged 2.00 for inside the gate parking.

EXACTLY!!!! I would feel like I hit the lottery if I only had to pay $30 for a pit pass. Its sad when we show up to a track and I am somewhat relieved that pit passes are only $40.

Yes, most of the tracks have paid reserved pit spaces for their weekly divisions. I am not sure the cost for most but I know our mini-sprint track charges $100 for the season.

Better than perris at $50 per pitpass

On my only visit to Perris I was yelled at by a parking attendant when I didn't have my money out to pay the $5 to park my car, never mind what it cost to get in.
