Sell out crowds at auto races doesn't happen in a bad economy.

[Hotler]

There is a 6-hour petite Le Mans at Road Atlanta on now and it's sold out, seating and camping spots. That doesn't happen unless people feel they have money to burn.
Next time someone complains about the economy mention sell out crowds at sporting and racing events.
Just saying.

1. I agree. My brother's racing team is in this race. Race is on NBC. He is self-made wealthy and gives generously to Dems.

4. Whats the car and number? I'm watching on Peacock through Xfinity.

Good luck to his team.
They were talking about braking in the corners and they said the prototype cars can go "Hero Deep" into the corner before braking. I love it.

5. #85, yellow Porsche. They just interviewed one of his drivers who is retiring after this race.

2. Music concerts, sports events, popular restaurants,

Comic book auctions...

All this stuff is booming.

3. Trumper friend of a friend just bought a

$88,000 Porsche, and this past Spring a $65,000 speed boat. When they recently came to visit, all guy could talk about was the price of eggs, and how much cheaper gas was when Trump was in office.

Hypocrites and morons....

6. We have a good economy. Our biggest problem these days is inequality.

Raise the minimum wage
Have a more equitable tax structure
Create retirement plans for those who do not have access
More collective bargaining
Create more public service jobs other than military

All policies support by the Democratic Party

7. And they are all still buying ...

$5 + for a cup of coffee at Starbucks every morning while complaining. Complaining with the starbucks cup in hand. I've seen it. Crazy people.

8. What do those racing seats and parking cost, anyway?

Just curious. Taking a family to a major league baseball game costs $$$.

9. I get what you're saying but yes it does happen.

The 2009 Daytona 500, at the height of the Great Recession, had an attendance of 180,000, which was more than attended earlier this year (an estimated 150,000).
