Daytona 500
Next weekend is the all anticipated Daytona 500. Personally I am not a race fan, but my step-father is. This is the first year, that I can remember anyway, that he has not been able to attend the Daytona races. When I was younger he used to take my brother and would drag my mom and me also. He was hoping that my mom & I would learn to love the races as much as he does. Needless to say we never aquired a taste for them. We did however love going to Florida every year. :o) Going to one race is not too bad for the chance to go to Florida. I never knew however what he spent on the tickets. A couple of years ago he had some extra tickets that he wanted me to sell for him on eBay, boy was I shocked at the price! I don't remember the price that year, but one ticket to the Sunday race goes for $180. The seats he has are great seats, they are right on the start finish line, but WOW! I just sold a pair of tickets on eBay for the 500 race on Sunday for $620 + shipping. That totally blows my mind! I know that my step-father would gladly give that price to be able to go. I guess I just don't understand it because it is not something I enjoy. :o)
