It's a secret...haha......my guess is $34.99 for Sat......any other guesses?

They gotta pay for them bilboards !!!!!

Good Lord I hope they do Group TT's/pill draw or something tommorow night to speed the show up a little. I'm getting too old for all night affairs. I already have to get there at 3 to find a good seat now that they stopped selling reserved.

Wait, they stopped selling reserved tickets for tomorrow? We were told that they'd still be selling reserved seats starting at 3:00 tomorrow but that they weren't selling anymore in advance. We already have ours but a couple of my friends are getting tickets for tomorrow and they were told when they called the office today that they weren't doing reserved seats for tomorrow so we went in to get our money back and the person in there said that they are still dping the reserved seats but they aren't selling any additional tickets until 3:00 on Saturday. One thing is for sure, if this is all the better they can do with selling reserved seat tickets, they just need to go back to it being first come first served like it has been in the past because with all the stuff we've dealt with, it's pretty obvious that the whole process is totally disorganized and they don't have a clue what the hell they're doing. Otherwise, I hope we see as good of a race tomorrow as what we did tonight. The track was awesome and the race between Lance and Brown for the lead was as good as it gets. It did run pretty late which is a product of having so many cars. I personally think that both nights of the 50 should be one division shows. With the qualifying format and big car counts, there's plenty going on as it is. 

Keep in mind that the Super Lates were added at no extra cost because of a rainout last Sat. They basically ate the cost of that purse other than the pit addmissions of those teams. Don't know what is going on with their internet connection but I take cards and it has been doing goofie things for two weeks now.

Wrong, 65 sprints last night.

10th in the first group, 52nd over-all, you get the point yet?  It's like he's towing a piano in that tank.  If I was you I wouldn't wait to see Mr. Car Owner, I'd phone him.  I'm only bringing this up because I am a big fan of TK and his talents...

How were they wrong?  Did you even read the post?

58 confirmed in the morning....not surprised if it got into the 60's

There were 65....sound pretty much on the ball to me.

That's what the website says but I got a different story when I called the office. The lady on the phone said they stopped selling reserved and the seats in rows 6-19 that haven't been sold will be first come first serve. She said you can sit in those seats as long as no reserved sticker. Now did they put up new reserved stickers just for this 1 race? I'm not sure, find out when we get there I guess. Having a huge car count is great but it sures make for a long qualifying proccess.

That's exactly what we got. One thing from one person, one thing from another and then something altogether different posted on the internet's. If this is all the better they can do, I hope this is the first and last year for it. I guess we'll see tonight what the final verdict is. I sure hope they got reserved stickers for this one race because otherwise, how they hell are you to know if a seat is reserved until the people who own the seat come in and kick you out? And what if those people wait until after time trials to come in and by then, every decent seat is gone? What a joke.

He said probably less than 60!

The late models were on the schedule for last night since it came out as the support division for Friday night so the Saturday rainout didn't make a difference other than the race paying more money for the late models. It's too many divisions for a show of this caliber. It's going to run late enough just with the 60+ sprint cars. Adding a support division just makes it worse. It doesn't bother me personally but I can definitely understand where people are coming from who don't necessarily want to be getting out of there we'll after midnight.

To quote him via copy and paste "From my understanding there is 58 confirmed as of this morning. I wouldn;t doubt that numbers reaches into the 60's". He would not doubt that it reaches into the 60s. 

Reading comprehension ain't exactly your forte, is it, Hoss? 

Yes, it was a 20.00 show for 25.00.  So they ate nothing!

Let's go Sprint Car Racing!

Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

Actually what happened is, they added the econo lates and increased the super late purse because of the rain out. My post was aimed at the time factor so with that and rain delays I thought that they got done in pretty good time. You didn't have to stay for either latemodel feature if you didn't want to. I appeared last night as though at least a couple of dozen people were happy with the way things are being done. Now the infield, that is the first thing in a while that made me say, "what the hell when I saw that."

What a great night...place was packed... I buy reserved seats for the whole year and was only able to attend a few times... Money well spent! 

great night... Oh... And Selinsgrove sucks... 

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH

Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

I agree, they need to get organized on the reserved seats. When they announced a month ago that the top rows in each section would be reserved we bought seats. When we got to our seats Saturday there was nobody in them, but as soon as the heats started a guy comes up and tells me that I'm sitting in his seat. He says he was there before hot laps and left because he doesn't like time trials but it is his seat, and I can tell this because of his bottle of water that he left there. I showed him my reserved ticket and asked where his was and he says that the lady at the ticket booth told him there were no reserved seats. He eventually left, but the regulars that I was sitting around seemed to be pissed at me for refusing to move. I don't understand what is so difficult about posting a reserved policy, selling the tickets, and standing by your policy that you posted. All in all this minor inconvience was the only negative for a great weekend of racing. Pretty cool that we get to see all the best from Central PA, the All Stars, and some of the best from Knoxville battle it out for 50 laps.
