With the 410 count supposedly way down and 360 counts the same if not up, who are the favorites?

except for when Schatz is in the house! Donny has owned Knoxville for the past 5 years now, just like he has owned the WoO the past few years also. Gotta give Donny his props, don't ya think WoO14? That guy can flat get it done!

Was that the year he won two races?

I'm gonna say if Brian Brown can get some early momentum he could get on a roll. Also look out for Zomer. For 360 I think Cornell is gonna get it done this year I look for a lot of wins from him.

It must really suck to have so much hatred built up inside of you towards one person. Is your life always so negative? Why not give Donny the props he deserves and move on? He has truly proven himself many times over, and yet you hate this guy with a passion. What exactly is your big hangup with him anyway?

Keep It Real

i predict the Bullet Bobby Weuve will win a feature this year at knoxville! Jonny Herarra will win the points again if he races locally.

Tmac and Cornell

$15 for a weekly show.... especially one with unlimited seating..... is nuts.

The worst president of my lifetime:
Ronald Reagan

or....you can now purchase a season ticket for $99, which covers everything but the Outlaws and Nationals I believe

that's a great price, no matter how you slice it

From the drivers standpoint it pays very well just to start the feature in a 410 on a regular Sat night show. I will gladly pay 15 bucks very Sat night. Well worth the price of admission

Anyone that complains about the $15 price for tickets at Knoxville is a spoiled fan. That price for that caliber of racing is a steal.

"If you're gonna run the bottom, you might as well get 
a real job."

If you go to the track on Friday, you can still buy your tickets for 12.00 every week

little known fact, if you purchase your tickets in advance (Friday), they are still $12 according to my sources, only $15 the day of the race.

IMO, I don't think $15 is out of line, especially now that they've finally added a student price of $8 for those kids 13-18. 6-12 is still only $4 and kids under 6 get in FREE.

While I don't qualify for the $8 ticket, I do have (2) kids that are in the $4 price range with my oldest going to the $8 range in 2 short years. Sure beats going from $4 to $12 just because of a birthday, and it still makes it affordable for high school kids to go on their own dime when they get a drivers license (isn't that what we really need anyway, younger people to come to the races so the fanbase doesn't die off??).

Yea, they raised my ticket to get in by $3, big deal. I'd rather pay $15 to see Sprints only than $15 to see 6 or 7 different classes with 10-12 cars in each. I've been to many racetracks that charge $15 for a $500 to win and $50 to start modified shows (and that's the high end class you get to see that night) with $45 pit passes for the competitors.

Living in K'ville, I know we are spoiled with the relatively cheap admission (it still adds up, but it sure beats $65 to watch Indy Cars @ Iowa Speedway or the $350 I paid to see the 50th Daytona 500), cheap (relative to Iowa Speedway or Wells Fargo Arena) concessions, and good amenities (seatbacks, jumbotron, etc.).

I think if people actually traveled to some other tracks, they'd start to appreciate it more (I know I didn't appreciate it that much until I moved away for 5 years, then I quickly realized what I had in my own backyard all those years).
