Before the race, groups of women in event gear were seen handing out grandstand tickets to people inside the grounds.

Yep, it's an earl event alright.

On a related note; I wonder how many people Marlo Klain had at her weekend BBQ?

We all know how easy it is to sell tickets in year 2 when you gave them away in year 1. :laugh:

:tony: True, however, the guys working the gates at Mid-Ohio back in the day had neither calculators or cashboxes. They guessed the cost for your carload, and had a wad of 20's and 50's in their pocket. :D

A five year plan. Where have I heard that one before?

Bears a striking resemblance to a "three hour tour", only this time, Thurston Magoo neglected to bring his steamer trunk full of cash.
