abrungot Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you have been used to the current Cost's of racing what you pay for pit passes and such, Sure hope your ready for them to go up! Single day pit pass (Non-NASCAR Lic) is $35, If your a fan in the stands, $12 Fri night, $20 Saturday night. If you Have a NASCAR Lic.. Think they cost $85 for Crew, You get in for $25. When you net it out for 8 Saturday's it actual costs you $5 More for the season if you only go on saturdays. What Fans used to get for $12 On Saturday Night.. will now cost them $32 & they will have to come 2 DAYS, in a row to get it.. What used to cost a Crew $35 member for 2 nights (Fri/Sat) Now will cost $50. This does not include the Now $10 Parking cost for Fri & Sat. Happy a track is kept open, but concerned of the Culture shock fans will have when they come out to the track. Consumers money is tighter than ever, and People are looking for the best Deal possible to spend what little they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrungot Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 You can not compare CTS to UT football, they are completely different Brands & Models. If you want a compare... look at HMP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgate Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Big g this is not college football...this is stock car racing ...totally different...it should be affordable for a family to go out and have a good time and not cost an ARM and a leg or a second or third morgage to have fun on a weekend...most family's now are on a budget and can't afford the Extra cost....there is an old saying if you lower the cost on tour product you make more will mass sales.....jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 What is the cost for a ticket to a UT game? I think a better question might be what does it cost to take a family to a movie on a Friday or Saturday night. A UT football game, as others have pointed out, is a different animal entirely. I really hope CTS can succeed with their model, but the show better be one heck of a show for that pricing to be seen as worthwhile for the average fan.

97car Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would expect a paved parking lot for ten dollar parking and for the admission price they better have more the 5 to 8 car classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 shock.hope the payout is better ...i would never pay a parking fee at a race track that high .. a couple of bucks is one thing but 10 ..no....the cost of bringing a car three hour drive cant see it now ..i wish them good luck and hope they succeed ..i am not knocking them they have to do what they think .. with two cars with the crew would cost us about $210.00 min..for pits and that does not include the wives that would sit in the stands and a couple of others .. lets say $300.00 just to get in the track .another $200.00 min on fuel gas for cars and haulers plus food cost .........nope ..

fast18 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ouch...well I am a one man team so I guess the payout may be the deal breaker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeReininger Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Come up and down the east coast and every track has these exact prices if not more I did a search along the southeast coast and found quite a few that are cheaper, including the track that Austin Self races. (Southern National Motorsports Park $15) Hickory Motor Speedway has $10 for adults, $8 for teens and seniors, and under 12 free. Pit pass $25. So, I'm sure there are some that are more, and some that are like Hickory. So to say "every track has these exact prices if not more" is not accurate. It all comes down to how many people will be willing to pay that much for 8 events. I'm in pick and choose mode. That includes my car. We'll wait until all the info including pay out is put out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jracer98 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just to try and add balance.... Remember that everyone (spectators included) complained about how long it took to race 8 or 9 classes? These guys are addressing that by going to a 2 day schedule...and that move doubled their payroll, their electric bill etc. THR didn't cashflow or it would still be open. This new model may or may not do better but they could not just do the same thing as previous owners,right? jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt15 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm sorry I didn't know I needed to specify most tracks not every. My apologies. Most the tracks you mentioned don't have a Friday show I know hickory has a Friday practice and it's a 100$ a car. I know concord was 150 for Friday practice than 35 non license/25 licensed. Gresham is the same usually 150 Friday includes crew and 30-35 Saturday. Every track is different. And you can't please everyone. This doesn't effect me any but with all the tracks that are closing these days I'm just grateful to have the ones we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRfan Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm guessing the parking is for spectators only and not race teams, but again I'm just speculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arob Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Good luck with that price.Thank goodness for STS and CCS. Are hamburgers gonna be $10 and sodas $5? I can only imagine the cost for a special event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is one hell of a trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
