Old Man with a Hat
In Charlotte, NC and I think I can see why Racing attendance is off. Last year it was very hot. I was there. 90’s The place was packed. It was a sell out. This year mid 70’s & about 40% less people. I took some pics. Talk with a key guy from a former Dodge Pro Stock team about the problems that they had. More about that later if you guys are interested. Now back to my observation. It’s the cost. I had a free pass so I got in free. I like to buy the food from the vendors as it’s stuff you just don’t see anywhere else so I bought a 1/4 pound fire grilled burger with bacon. $8.00. Took 30 minutes to get it. 16 oz Coke $5.00. Order of fries $5.00. So $18 bucks for lunch. Nowhere to sit so I sat under the grandstands on the concrete. Watched all the Pro qualifying. Then walked around some looking at cars & talking to folks. Got hungry again so I got a large Ice Tea (mostly ice) $5.00 & a fresh baked pretzel $5.00. Now $28.00
