NASCAR at NHMS

JADAQ · 07-21-2016, 08:56 AM

We camped there, our lot was less than 1/2 full. We had one neighbor and last September we were surrounded.
NHMS sent me a survey, my main answer for a lot of the questions was the ticket prices are too high.

My second answer to a question was that I didn't appreciate the fact I had to weed Wack my own campsite! Really??!! $122 and I got to mow my own lawn! Gee thanks !

In my head, there's too much traffic, it's too hot, and it's too expensive. Not sure if any of these are accurate, but they're what I think of when I decide not to attend.

I used to go to both races but gave up on july due to the heat....Sept race is always better anyway in the chase. They need to offer a BIG discount if you go to both races

The other issue is the cost and availability of hotels. Friends used to come up from Pa. but were getting raped on hotel prices , so they stopped coming.

Traditional motorsports are in decline across the board.

F1, Indycar, NHRA, NASCAR: all are down from where they once were.

I blame it primarily on the availability of other forms of online entertainment and the seeming lack of interest in all things automotive by the upcoming generations.

I stopped attending when the track couldn't understand why I was giving up my season tickets when I could buy tickets the day of the race, for less money, and sit where ever I wanted.

I think not so much a lack of interest in things automotive. But more a they'd rather be participants than spectators..

I'd love to go lap the track, but have zero interest in watching someone else do it.

Yeah, especially 350 or 500 times! I lose interest after the fifth lap!
