2010 NMRA Finals @ BG....a question for those that arrive on Thursdays....

I was looking at entry prices to run bracket 3 at the Finals.

If I get a Thursday-Sunday B3 ticket it costs $ 150.00
If I get a Friday-Sunday B3 ticket it costs $ 65.00.

My question is: Are there any time trials on Thursday or is it just for people to set up ?

If there is no time trials on Thursday, then I guess that extra $ 85.00 is the early bird set-up fee ??? ( or early bird penalty ?...lol)

Edit: I noticed it is cheaper to buy a 3 day bracket III entry than a 3 day spectator pass. ???

Early Bird Penalty. No time runs but you can get setup and teched in...

Never been on a thursday, probably never will...

Don't you want to have another shot at the wild street Alan? You can still bracket race sunday.

LOL....I think once was enough for me.

I have the ut-most respect for a racer that can build a machine that can withstand a 2 hour crawl (like last year) and rip off 11's. 10's, 9's or quicker back to back to back !

Thanks Damon !

Since we set up @ the campgrounds anyway, a couple of 65 dollar tickets will work out better for us.

I'm with you. We made the mistake of getting to the Columbus NMRA race last year on a Thursday and paid an extra $45 each to camp inside the gates on Thursday

Never again.... Next time, we will camp OUTSIDE the gates, in line with the other smart people

NMRA sure knows how to get in your wallet,that's for sure

Not me, I don't give a shit if I ever race another one of their events. $150 gets me and Sooz in at Norwalk for all three days and Race the car too.

They are getting a bit ridiculous with there ticket pricing.

Damon,

I would of been outside the gate last year if i didn't sleep in your trailer,thanks again.Mark

Yes they are expensive (ticket pricing) ! Spectator ticket prices are darn near "off day" U.S Nationals pricing! Hope to be there and looking forward to visiting with you guys. If I can get some overtime @ work to fore go the ticket price!

Dave.
