First of all, congratulations to Emmitt, Lanny and the entire staff for another great, worthwhile Chilibowl! For me and countless others, the best motorsports event of the year.
I have only one issue with the entire event and that is the requirement of purchasing an $8 program to get the 10 cent nightly lineup sheet. The group that I am with has purchased the complete ticket package for 6 people for the past 10 years or so and you would think that for all this we should get a free line up sheet or at least sell the sheet only for a much reduced price, like a dollar. At $1, thats still at least 1,000 % profit and would more than likely make up for the lost program sells. Also, on Thursday night the group selling the programs at the booth were passing the sheets out at no charge, at least when I went by and got one.
Or how about this, one of the event sponsors sponsoring the lineup sheets with their logo and marketing info, for free or at a reasonable price.
I heard a lot of fans grumbling about this extreme.
