Tickets for sporting events are going through the ceiling, for me racing tickets went from $30.00 to $40.00.
My direct TV bill just increased by $17.00.

My guess is that they are trying to make up for losing last year's revenue.

NHRA won't be at Joliet this year, not sure I want to brave the crowd at Indy.

KOKOMO: World of Outlaws & non winged sprints, I last saw this type of show at $30.00 now it's $40.00 and I am guessing pit passes will be an additional $10.00.

Cost of everything is going up. Free money for everyone just brings the value of a dollar down.

Heard a farm bought it. If true, better than a building complex, but sad anyway. Went many times as a youngster. Even more recently, I remember all the Sunday mornings fishing with my dad on the St Joe river, hearing the burnouts and then races go on from there. Glad my boy got to experience the sounds before they pulled the plug. Great times gone by now.

LOT of drag strips have closed over the years. I ran the car at US 30 Dragstrip, that's long gone too.

Here was my hangout when I was young. It died, but has been reborn. My wife taught and teaching their kids. One is in her class this year. Nice family and glad it is back. Just checked it out two weeks ago. I can hear them racing at home on the weekends. Always love to hear that sound. Track is 4 miles away. www.edgewaterrace.com/ |

Call me old and grouchy, but I just don't find value in much of any live entertainment anymore. I don't like crowds and it angers me to no end the way they gouge you on concessions. Same goes for movie theaters.

Same goes for movie theaters. For years we went to the Plymouth Blueberry festival. Used to be really nice, not to crowded. Now it's overly crowded. it's just a bunch of zombies walking around paying out the nose for crap. |

Same goes for movie theaters.  For the old & grouchy crew. Used to do all of that stuff; ball games, races, concerts, etc. Anymore, it's just no fun the way they herd you around like cattle and crowd you together. Airline travel is the same and not much fun either. Heck, I even plan most of my fishing through the week, so there aren't many people on the water or at the ramps. |
