Right from their website Barrie Speedway and Horseshoe Resort are proud to present the return of OSCAAR racing this Saturday, June 13th. The OSCAAR Super Late-Models will run a 50 lap feature this weekend and will be accompanied by Barrie's Thunder Cars and Pure-Stocks . ADMISSION PIT-PASSAdults $25 $35 for Non-Members Seniors $23 $19 for Nascar Members Students $20 Kids $5 I have already emailed Barrie Speedway to see if their pricing was a misprint. With today's economy, people can't handle prices like that, especially for a 1 day event. It's been a long time since I missed an Oscaar event. They even want 23 bucks from the seniors and most of them are on a fixed income. Shame on Barrie Speedway. Dam, I paid 25 to get into the pits at Kawartha for Oscaar's 1stevent this year, with LM's and 2 other classes running as well. Barrie is F'ed in the head. I'd suggest everyone else email them and voice you're concerns too.info@barriespeedway.com |

TJ Woolsey is on the board of Oscaar and he has posted on their(Oscaar) website that they do have in their contracts that tracks cannot charge more than 25 pitside for their events. They're looking into it and will let us know.

I'm going to Brighton for the bus races anyway. I can get the WHOLE family in there for $20 for a better show.

Think I might head there too. 1/4 the distance for me and they pack the place and make a fortune on the concessions. |

Due to working later this week....I don't have time to make my normal trip to Barrie...(only have time to make it Mosport..*yawn*...but I got free tickets so it an't all bad).....but after looking at this ridiculous price hike, I'm not sure if I would be going anyway. I think $18 or $20 would be more reasonable, look at it this way.....I went to Barrie the first 2 weeks it cost me.... $15 Admission, $12-15 407 Tolls,$8-10 Food,$30-35 Gas.... so your looking at $70 give or take, I can't afford to be paying $10 extra bucks.

Save money, for example. 1 stay off the tole road. Save 12-15 2 eat less save 8-10 3 ride with a friend, split the gas save 30-35 you save $60.00 |
