2013 MavTV 500
I attended the California Speedway test on Tuesday, October 24. Attendees were given a little card advertising a ticket package for $35 that included General Admission ($30 presale/$35 at the gate), pit/paddock pass ($25 value), and parking (Speedway parking is always free).
Seems like a good deal, right? What isn't stated until you're about to pay on the speedway's website is a $15 fee for the ticket package, whether you have it mailed to you or left at Will Call. So in reality, you're only saving $5. That just irked me for some reason. Oh well, $5 saved means with my $60 ticket budget I can buy a hot dog! =)
I wonder if the crowd will be bigger than last year. I think last year's heat wave limited the amount of people showing up. I brought 3 500ml water bottles with me but still ended up buying 4 bottles of Gatorade throughout the day because it was so hot.\"If you have a problem with what I\'m doing, talk to me, get it all out, then shut up.\" - Juan Pablo Montoya

So I just read about this rule where cars going through more than 5 engine changes aren't eligible to score points for the manufacturers. I didn't even know about this until I saw an article on racer.com.
Did any of you guys know about this rule?\"If you have a problem with what I\'m doing, talk to me, get it all out, then shut up.\" - Juan Pablo Montoya

Yes, in fact Honda had 7 cars that weren't eligible for manu points in the penultimate race
If this race didn't appeal to them they should just quit watching the sport. From start to finish something was going on, and often at the front of the field.
