the rolex as i have so loved for decades is getting under my skin!my father that passed away monday has worked in the benny khan press room for over 30 years.i slacked off on my grassroots tickets this year that i did not get.i see on craigslist parking passes going from 250 to 400 bucks just leaves a very sick feeling in my stomach!what happened to the rolex,its all campers along the fence line since a couple years ago.turn 3 and 4 is all camping and can no longer drive over to see everything out of the bus stop!i guess im on a full page rant but i have to get this out.does anyone feel the same way as myself?
The race has grown up. People want to come see it. How is that a bad thing?
If you can't get infield parking, just park outside and take the tram. I have done it, and it's not bad at all. Then come hang with us.
In reply to David S. Wallens:
its a good thing dave that people are attending more imsa races!i have for decades had my car in the infield with all our food drinks and sleep in it also,thats the road race 24 hour experience to me!ever since the parking pass bs it has been a problem for me.do you like to haul all your stuff in and have nowhere to have a home base in the infield?
I do miss the days of paying like $0.30 per hour to watch in the grandstands and $60 got you a 4 day ticket and an infield parking pass.
It's great the race is becoming more and more popular which will ensure it will be around for a long while; but, Mr. Chitwood should revisit how some of his operations. Like if you leave the track for any reason and you have an infield parking pass that you can be allowed back in and not denied entry because the infield is "full"
