I thought the three day ticket for '09 at $75 was a bargain! Sixty bucks is absolutely cheap!!
The addition of and individual race day ticket is a step in the right direction (you had to buy the three day ticket to get in on race day previously) but they missed the boat by not offering an inexpensive race day "family pass". When you are trying to grow an event, especially one that in not a mainstream US sporting event, offer up a cheap buy in for the local families and turn them into fans...
For any Euro based fans coming over or thinking of coming over for the races... and I hope you do... be sure and do a web search on info about the AMA Indy mile flat track races run on Saturday night of the weekend... A unique form of racing and it really should be taken in... It just caps off a great weekend of racing...
I had fun talking with the overseas fans that came over and was pleased with the positive feedback they gave about the good time they were having... Indianapolis and the speedway do a great job hosting the event... Looking forward to going back in '010!
