I'll go if you have an extra ticket? Just need a way to get down there...never mind I'll steal the Brady Bus (wife's mini van). Seriously, if you are staying towards the Orlando area...leave early, I-4 gets backed up pretty early. From what I've heard, if your north or south of Daytona...I-95 usually isn't bad at all. If your staying in Daytona...you must have some $$$...triple the price of rooms for the 500...lol.

Daytona 500
Yep, I'm going.
Leave on Thursday for the drive down. Lars, sorry no tickets to let you have. Last edited by NASCARWidow; 3 Feb 2002 at 11:55. |

LOL...not sure ya have to go that far...pops said he paid $225 a piece for the 500 tix's. My michigan seats are only $95 & I believe the price for my Chicagoland seat said $85 or $90? Can't remember because I had to buy tix's for all 4 races down there...so it didn't matter. I paid $105 for Atlanta & $75 for New Hampshire...so there is a bit of a mark-up...but my NHIS & Chicago seats wouldn't have been considered the best seats to get.

The fact remains that the tickets are getting way too pricey for the average fan. It's not the average Joe fans who really LOVE racing that end up attending the races anymore. It's more like "pass the Grey Poupon" type of fans. NOT the true base of what NASCAR was built upon.

By the way, in case you didn't notice, I embedded a link to more of these cartoons in there. Just click on the cartoon I posted, and you'll be instantly whisked away to several years worth of Mike Smith NASCAR cartoons...
