$9.50 for a 12 oz. Coors Light..... $20 bucks to park..... count me out for the rest of the Anaheim races. I was told that the A1 reg parking fee is $10 and Feld tacks on another $10? Wonder if they share in food and beverage sales? Bums me out that the riders and the fans seem to keep on coming back for more.... me included.

These are less than two bucks each. The come in flat plastic pouches and would be very easy to get through security with.

You could have bought a five dollar coke and had your double rum and coke for less than ten bucks.

Prices have gone up for the new year. During the baseball playoffs parking was $20, but it's normally $10. Coke and bottled water was $4 last year and they have defiantly gone up to $5. I don't know anything about the beers.

I don't think Feld sees any of the parking money, I've been told by my Angels Seat Rep that the City of Anaheim reaps the benefits of parking(at least for baseball I'm sure it's the same for any event in the stadium). My tickets last year were next to a Anaheim Cop, he got comped parking every game. Must be nice.

Something else to look out for is that the City of Anaheim was getting crafty this last baseball stadium and setting up DUI checkpoints after baseball games. I wouldn't be surprised to find one after a SX race.

I thought I had heard they had a DUI checkpoint after one of the Anaheim rounds last year.

just figuring that out after all these years?
it's easier in the middle rounds where the cities are colder and you are allowed in with a full winter jacket. I typically bring in 3 - 16oz plastic bottle beers. All weed is smoked in the car beforehand though.

I think everyone needs to read the comments on that site! They're classic. Here's a few of my favorites:

"so ...... hookers drink liquor out of colostomy bags?"

"And best of all, they double as a catheter bag!"

after paying ridiculous amounts to get into a race, I don't bother drinking. Nothing worse than having to take a piss in the middle of the main.

forget the mixer...get a good Bourbon on the rocks and you get more bang for the buck. Less hangover too.

I parked straight across from the Ga. dome last year and paid $50.00 for parking. Well my buddy did. If I'm paying I'll park down the road and walk my ass to the dome.. So it's just not in anaheim.

After Stewart passed Dungey and had a bit of a gap my buddy who had been drinking got up to go to the bathroom because he figured it was over anyway. Missed one of the best last laps I've ever seen and he was pissed (no pun intended)

Those prices piss me off to no end but I keep coming back for more. A1 set me back a little so I bought a $10 ticket to the Phoenix race. After all the horseshit they throw on top, that $10 ticket was $22. And that was with free shipping. If I wanted the ticket mailed sooner, it would be close to $30.
