Mud Bogg Season approaching!

[TJVigilante]

Is it a gated off section? Who maintains the track? Is it just a section of open dirt that is used occasionally for these things? What happens the other 360 days of the year when it's not being used?

I figured the money was obtained by local donations and the fees for the racers. How much can it cost to do some flyers and internet advertising?

sure they have TV and radio spots, but they're using the same tv and radio spots (with small edits for dates) all three times I'm sure. And 30 bucks a pop among how many racers? That'll cover it I'm sure.

Saying I should expect something doesn't mean anything. If they announce fees for competitors, but nothing for spectators, it follows that there will be no fees for spectators and all expectations are moot. Why announce participant fees but not spectator fees, or at least plans to have them?

It's the principle of it all...just seems like a shady tactic to lure in more spectators and surprise them at the gates with almost $30 in spectator fees for taking their family out to see the show. It would have been $14 for me, but that's besides the point. These fees and rules should be made and announced up-front months ahead of time, not announced last-minute the day before the race. If it's not done on purpose, it's poor planning.
