Track food prices.

[my friends call me Zappy]

I've been to tons of natl events @ many different tracks, but i've never seen food prices as high as Wild Horse Pass. Anyone know a track worse than these ?

You'd think you were at Disney! You could buy a case of hotdogs for $10.

Do they have private venders along with track vendors. Does the track set the Prices for everybody? That does seem very expensive, even for a "pro sporting event"

 

[justafan]

That's ridiculous! I would probably order the polish sausage, it's free, right? ::ducks:: I always pack sandwiches for day one for any race I attend. Day 2 includes a big breakfast in hopes of not having to eat high price crappy food until it's a necessity. I did spend $13 on a sausage sandwich and a water at Indy last year.

Between ticket prices and food prices at many sports events it is just part of what is keeping fans away.

Add the costs of hotels, motels and the costs for even camping at many tracks and travel expenses to the list.

Just my opinion.

Norwalk is pretty reasonable, but the track is in a rust belt area.

Was close to that or the same at the Winternationals/Pomona.

Thats why we always eat a big breakfast on the way to the track and hit someplace like Texas Roadhouse on the way home!

In the pit side, there is a food truck next to the ice cream truck. Their prices are less than the others & they are a regular at Wild Horse. Food seems a little better.

Those prices are crazy, no coolers allowed so they try and make you cough up the cash for their food. Like a lot of you, we has a good breakfast at Village Inn before the race, bag of peanuts during the race and wings at Native New Yorker after the race!

Eat french fries and bring water

Las Vegas is tightening up too. Last year my wife couldn't even bring two bottles of water in her purse! One thing I miss about racing, my trailer was always well stocked!

Wherever possible, get TEC tickets.

It sucks but I also paid $13 for a chicken teriyaki bowl at Pomona 2 weeks ago.

LVMS is awesome but the bottle and bag nazis at the front gate are something else; they caught me before too. Small price to pay for all the other amenities.

And let me guess, You were hungry again in a half an hour?

Just curious how much does Papa Johns charge at the races?

 

[Sean D, shondoo]

You'd think they would've figured out by now that if the food prices were reasonable, there would be no need for the food Nazi's to start with. I also realize that there's a need to keep bringing your own stuff in check or it will get out of control, but those prices are nothing short of gouging, period. If those prices are actually necessary to make a respectable profit, there are too many hands in the till.

That's crazy! I don't think that it's that bad at Gainseville.

I've been to Pomona and Phoenix and neither had Papa Johns for sale.
