I saw on the website if you have a three day wristband and it's removed for any reason it's void. Is this true? Not sure I can wear a wristband at work Friday and Saturday.

My father emailed Kokomo Speedway about this issue. He was told that you have to wear them for all three days, no exceptions.

He was also planning to go to two of the nights, but may have to miss one. So, he was basically told he had to be the one going every night.

My question is why? Why not have tickets to turn in for an armband each night? Or, how about turn in the previous nights armband for a new one?

They make the rules, so it is what it is, I guess. I'm sure they have their reasoning. I just wanted to pass along the information that I knew.

This has been a standard practice for all of the multi day events I've ever been too.

My experience is that a carefully-applied piece of scotch tape on the inside of the band (requires another person) will see you through the weekend. However, I agree it's a silly rule.

Note that this requires that you tear it off by turning the band inside out and grabbing the free end. Then you can easily match the overlay the next night.

I don't remember doing this at the Chili bowl when it was 3 days, I never had to do this at the Four Crown when it was 2 days nor at the Mopar Million when I had tickets for both days. I'm 58, been toomany a race and I don't ever remember having to use an arm band for mutiple days for an extended race program. I believe someone does not want anyone to transfer there ticket to someone else. They would rather they buy one which I also can understand from a bussness side.

I always go to the pits... do you? The Mopar Million and 4 Crown (never been to Chili Bowl) required the same arm band for the entire time you were there.

If you bought a 3 day ticket pass for the Smackdown before July 14th, it came with a FREE pitpass. I'd say they decided to use arm bands for the 3 day passes to make things a little easier.

You get your arm band on day 1... days 2 and 3 you don't have to stand in a line waiting to get your arm band or ticket. It makes perfect sense to me.
