Charging KIDS 12 and under, any price is outrageous!  Research other tracks and most sanctioned races like the Allstars, USAC and ASCS.  

And credit card only for concessions and merchandise?  Have you lost your mind?  So now, Dad, who had to pay for his 10 year old to get in, now sends that kid with credit card in hand to buy a burger and fries?

If this group doesnt review and make changes to their pricing and policies, they wont last much longer.  At the present time they are not much more than a traveling weekly event with very few known drivers, presenting themselves like established proven sanctioning bodies like WoO, ASCOF, USAC and ASCS.  In my opinion the purse payouts are not in line with the fees and general admission cost.

I don't think the Bandits (never to be called BOSS by me) are setting the prices and policies for this deal.  From what I have seen so far, they are a series racing with a simple rule book geared to keep the budget racer racing in areas where weekly sprint racing has gone the way of the Dodo.  This looks like it is an XR promotion, and they reached out to the Bandit Sprints to provide a field of cars.  I would rather see this be a KWS non points special event, but I know nothing.  This also looks like a back gate racing type of deal, just like Texas, so the bandits should feel right at home.

Paying in advance sucks. What if something happens that I can't go? What if it rains out? What if I trash my car or blow the motor the first night and am done? We've been there and done that. Try to get a refund of any of it. It doesn't usually happen.

All of these stupid fees are just a slap in the face to the guys and gals who put all their money and time into a car and take a huge risk of losing everything including their life every time it goes on the track.  

Pit vehicle fee??  Really??  I don't think I've ever heard that one before.

Only when a racing event has the standing room only status like the Knoxville Nationals and the Chili Bowl, should kids under twelve be charged too attend.  This Vegas event has no status at this time and needs to promote by putting butts in the seats.  In my opinion the Vegas events should be free to all kids up to at least 16 years old. They will make up for the freebe at the concessions and merchandise trailers.

Oh, and once again the credit card only form of payment is the stupidest policy I've ever heard of.

Give the guy a break, he's try to put on a sprint car race.    

I've already made my next vegas trip plans, otherwise I'd be there (I have attended a Thursday night WoO race there in the past).

1. It's 2021 and cashless is a thing (I just went to a cashless nfl game). 

2.  Your 10 yr old probably has a $500 phone, get him a $50 prepaid debit card to buy a hamburger.  

3. Cheriofucker & MOincestwheeler aren't coming anyway, so don't let them get to you.   If they do come you'll have to take their checks at the gate after they fax their pre-entries in.

To answer a couple questions.....

- Pit Vehicle: Insurance purposes. The price continues to go up.

- Food: The facility is locked in with a vendor that has rights. They do not accept cash. We have no say in this.

- Ticket Prices: We have adjusted DOWN for 2022. We will continue to monitor.

Thanks,

Barry
