NASCAR Question ?
are they "pit" passes or "garage" passes? there's quite a difference...and it also depends on the track. cause in phoenix, the guys who drive in the trucks and the busch series are WIDE open and with your average pit pass or a mobil home infield pass, you access is AMAZING...but if you're in l.a. pit pass only really gets you access when the drivers all walk out to the track a little bit after their cars have gone to the track and it's the same for every level of racing. a garage pass is a different beast...you are in the garages for all the drivers, every single driver is going to walk by you all day long and your access is AWESOME...it's can't be beat...but even that has problems... you aren't supposed to be allowed to ask for autographs at all (many people do and and so few people actually have the garage passes that it doesn't even matter). i had garage passes before and tony stewart ratted me out and i had to go put my photos and helmets back to my car (a long walk) before i was allowed back in... there's another problem...there's a thing called the "hot pass" which is extremely limited, you are only allowed in the garages for a certain amount of time during the day,. with the hot pass, you can be there all day...that one gets tricky too, you can go wherever you want with a hot pass... one more thing, you have to wear pants in the garages, no short pants or open toed shoes. thought i could help. mike |

NASCAR Question ?
Just got my info packet yesterday for the race and we do in fact have "hot passes" for the entire weekend. We have tickets for Friday and Sunday, will I need to scalp a ticket to get in on Saturday or will my "hot pass" work for that ??? Not looking to get a bunch of graphs with my pass, a few nice opps would be cool.. Thanks ! snot |

NASCAR Question ?
Doesn't matter what we tell you... best bet is to call the venue and
ask because if someone here tells you one thing and you go and it's something else... could be one pain!!! I'd call the venue to ask.

NASCAR Question ?
i've went to 3 races this year....and track by track, sue's right, they could change the rules... but you should have to buy a ticket for saturday...hot passes only get you so far, you stll have to get in the track... you can get away with buying the cheapest tickets available and do ok... if you read what i told you about the different passes, you'll know (at least from my experiences) that you have the best pass available out there... one thing, track by track again, you may not be able to ask for autographs at all in the garages...you can thank Tony stewart for that one...there are some tracks that are real strict on this point..BUT, you can go right to the track itself, hang out behind the individual driver docks, and get drivers who come over and sign while waiting for different things to change up (track conditions and all that) and every driver walks FROM their car, back to the garage. so just about every driver tried to sign (again, except tony stewart, and lately dale jr).... good luck..let me know if you see tony sign anywhere. mike |

NASCAR Question ?
Mike, I worked the track on Friday and Saturday with our "hot" pass, it
was like shooting fish in a barrel. Tony Stewart signed 1 graph those 2 days that I saw and I got the opp (he wasn't happy about it). Now I'm spoiled and want those passes again next year ! snot |
