Might be a good idea to order tickets soon. Was told last year was almost a sellout and from the buzz might sell out this year. Tickets $25.00 at 916 8637223. All general admision.

Yes, talking to Jeannie, she said that in the last couple of weeks that they have literally been flying out of the door. Definately not a show that you want to miss.............

SUPPORT WILDLIFE, go to a sprint car race! 

Methanol and wine! A heady combination!

I just talked to the ticket office and last year you could go to the grandstand with a pit pass. This year, since some seats in the grandstand were taken by holders of pit passes last year and there was confusion as to how many seats were available in the grandstand, you will buy a separated ticket for the grandstand with your pit pass if you plan on going to the grandstand too, so they can get a more accurate count of seats left in the grandstands.
