Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
For comparison sake, I can attend the F1 USGP with a GA ticket for $109 that comes with basic facilities. That's to see the absolute pinacle of motorsport in the world who think their $#*^ dont stink!
On the same day as the MXGP, I can go to one of the most prestigious Nascar races in Darlington and get in for $55 and have a seat and facilities to use.
Even SX you can get in for less and get more for it.

I'm thinkin' about it...
Wife and I are going to be there Friday, Saturday Sunday. Got a room at the beach so 50 plus minute drive but that is not a problem. Just had an expo for last 5 days on Daytona beach and 3 years in a row no waves. I'm just home now for a week then back on the beach in Jax for some moto and hopefully some surf. I'm going to need a vacation after all these good times.
BTW will the racing having glasses for the little guys? My grandson is on 65's and a 50. Is there a series that hosts races at this facility so I can check out their site?
I have no problem using a port-a-potty, it just seems a bit of a rip off to pay almost $80 to go to a race that only has them as an option when I can go to "bigger" forms of motorsports for cheaper or similar that have the facilities to warrant the price.
Anyhow, I'm excited that FL is finally getting a pro outdoor race (Daytona doesn't count), even if it is that other series. Here's to hoping we get a National down here at some point.

Whoa...think of that. A Vital Brain Trust Caravan (VBTC).
Here is my report. It sucks, so if you're not interested, feel free to move on and I don't blame you. I arrived at 1030 and parked near the office.
I went into the office and attempted to make contact. No one replied to my, "Anybody home?" shouts. So, my dog and I walked out of the office and headed for the track. There were many people walking around the track and at least two tractors working on the track. There were several guys putting sod on the side of the jumps that are closest to the front of the track.
I noticed a group of five guys walking around the start area and talking. One of them looked a lot like Shaun Simpson. If it wasn't Shaun, then I will be surprised. This person was in shape and had a beard. He also had a Scottish accent. However, having never seen Shaun in person, I have no real idea if it was him.
In spite of the rain yesterday, the track looked pretty decent. I was never able to find Junior or anybody I know. Having never met Wyn Kern, I would not know him if I saw him. Therefore, I was unable to ask about taking pictures. Even though it seemed like no big deal to me, I refrained. I gave my word to Junior I would ask before doing so and that is pretty much that.
I was never approached by anyone while there. There were already campers in the camping area, but still plenty of hook-ups for campers available. I would imagine they are all reserved, however.
Another thing I noticed were a bunch of pallets with metal...scaffolding...or at least I think that is what it was. It was all stacked up on the start straight. It looked like a lot of work to get it there and even more work will be required to set it up. Grandstand seats? I don't know, but it was a lot of metal.
So, like I said, not much of a report. I did not notice any new tunnels going under the track for infield spectating. That does not mean they do not exist, but I did not see them. You have to keep in mind that WW is a huge track and facility. Just walking from the office to the track - a distance of around 200 yards - worked me and the dog into a pretty good sweat. As noted before, Jacksonville's humidity must be experienced to fully understand.
See you all at the race!
Here is an official offer to any of you that have ever acknowledged me and that I somewhat know, without ever having actually met. I have an open half a house to share with a queen bed and a private bath. I also have a very nice, brand new camper. In other words, we have room for two couples. If you stay in the camper you can use the bathroom, but since I don't have a sewage hook up, you can't drop a greasy deuce in there. #1 no problem, but for the deuce you'll have to come inside.
So, there you have it. First PM gets the bedroom and bath. We have a split bedroom house, so that half of the house is very private. The camper is also private, but no deuce dropping allowed. You are truly welcome, and it is no problem for us to accommodate you. The price is zero.
