Ridiculous car show registration fees. Rant.

pay to put on the show........just like local stock car racing....at a judged car show I could see payin 10$ or maybe 20$ if I wanted my car in the contest....but to show it should be free, that attracts the spectaters that chunk dow 3$ for a hot dog or 2$ for a soda or water...next they will not allow you bring in a cooler like the stock car track..I remember back in the day coolers were allowed the pit side was 20$ fan side was 8$ the stands and the pits were packed to the gills, some classes you had to qualify to be in the show...funny now the stands and the pits are at half capacity and the payouts have gotten smaller but the concession stand prices have stayed the same...people aren't no dummies either, they eat before they get there, walk to their car and grab a cold one from the cooler in between rounds, sneak snacks in for their kids and who could blame them....If I was the promoter their instead of payin all the big $ to just the top three I'd be breakin it down to go back thru the pack, lower the pit entrance fee and registration fee for the driver, pit crew would get a discount and same thing on the granstand side...you fill up the pit's with cars and the extra pit crew more than makes up the diffrence there, the now packed grandstands will make up more than the diffrence with hungry and thirsty people who want to see action....not a dragged out schedule due to low car count. trick is to come up with a better way to do it based on the economy of the people rather than the promoters allready fat wallet hrrmmmph!!!
