I'm thinking about taking a drive over to see some racing tomorrow. The website says the gate fee is $55/person. I just want to watch tomorrow. Do I really have to pay $55 for one day as a spectator?

That's what I'm saying! It's about 2 and a half hours north for me and after the gas and everything it's not worth it.

When you go in the gate, tell them you are only going to be there for the day; and ask if you can return the wristband on your way out for a partial refund since it is technically good for the rest of the week. Most tracks will give you at least some money back as long as you give them the wristband. Hopefully they are cool about it.

The last time I was there, the gate fee was ridiculous. $55 is completely out of control.

This is what I have experienced. You pay for the whole weekend when you go in. If it's the only day you are spectating tell them on your way out. They should give you some money back. I haven't been to a mini o's before but this is the way lots of other races in the south I have attended have been ran.

Good luck and have some fun. I would like to rid those KTM's someone else mentioned above.

there are no 1 day passes. The fee will get you in for the rest of the week and it lowers as there are less days.

I went 2.5 hours each way for nothing. Track was a soupy as they get. No KTM ride....Big bummer. A lot of time to look at a big hole in the ground.

Pay to play. Go on thursday. And eat the turkey dinner. Way worth it.

But you'll pay $40 to see a Pro event when you know damn well that money isn't going to the Pros......

Amatuer racing is awesome to spectate! It's constant action man!! Waaaayyy worth the $55!!!!!

It's not like the money we pay is going to the amateur riders...

This is the way it worked for me a few years ago, we got some money back when we left at the end of the day.

Jake is lucky he has a nice sister, she's paying for both of them for Wed. & half Thursday. I don't think they'll even see any racing until late today.

The cost for a week of Mini O's is the same as local Florida racing for 6 months. He'll race a lot of the same kids at the Winter Am's and Daytona.
