and in all fairness... I have nothing against paying entry to an event as a spectator...
not $100 though. unless it was like an all inclusive pass for an event run for a whole weekend. So TTASA would not get my money.
Paying an entrance fee is what keeps Events alive. You can't expect to go NASCAR or any international event for free. Unless you do like them boys at drag and wind who park up outside and peeping through the fence.
